the LNP has indicated it intends to move to optional preferential voting in state elections as well, if they win the state election in October.
“But wait… we can make it worse!” - LNP
If they do not get voted in this October, we still have every future election for years to come to worry about this happening if they manage to win.

Yes. I have seen a lot of grass hoppers, crickets and praying mantises in my garden in the last couple months. And they are not small, very big buggers.
I agree, it should stay in place (as in, not repealed by subsequent government). Employees shouldn’t feel pressured to pick up the phone outside of work.
I always thought not answering the phone was always an unwritten rule of employment unless it’s in your contact, so that’s the way I have always acted.
Codify: “to arrange something, such as laws or rules, into a system”, so I believe that’s correct.
