Invite me to your club. I'll explain the boring bits.
Footy club, netball club, book club, trivia night, your nan's bridge group. If a few of you want to chat politics, I'll come along.
I'm not a career politician. I'm a locksmith. But I've spent a lot of time learning how this stuff actually works, and most of us were never taught. That's not your fault. It's genuinely confusing, and sometimes I think it's meant to be.
I'm obviously biased about who you should vote for. But I'll do my best to help you understand.
Things I can explain
- How your vote actually counts.
Preferences, why a vote for a small candidate is never wasted, and why the upper house ballot is the size of a beach towel. - How a law gets made in Victoria.
And the points along the way where regular people can actually push on it. - AI, jobs and who ends up with the money.
I'll try not to go on about this. I will fail. - Whatever you want to ask.
Including the hard ones. If I don't know, I'll say so and get back to you.
The fine print
- Minimum crowd: two.
One if you're very persuasive. - I can't shout the bar.
Electoral rules, and also I'm paying for this campaign myself. - It's a chat, not a rally.
Twenty minutes, or as long as you'll have me. I'll help stack the chairs. - You're allowed to think I'm a dick.
I won't be offended. I've heard them all. There's a page for that. - In and around Prahran, South Yarra and Windsor.
Election day is Saturday 28 November, so sooner is better.
Book me in
Email vote1maxdicks@gmail.com with your club, a day and time, and roughly how many people.
Let me know if it's a quiet chat at the bar or a microphone situation.
Busy during polling times (obviously).
My jokes are free, and priced accordingly.
