Preferences

What are your decision-making preferences, and why?

How do you know you are not a micromanager?

How do you know you are not an advocate of instruction creep?

What are your preferences when investing in exploration? 

How do you prevent yourself from investing in exploitation?

Of course, exploitative practices are the height of rudeness and therefore incompatible with civility.

How do you know your approach to freedom is adequately compatible with civility?

If you are sure you have a preference towards investing in an intelligently kind culture, how would you describe the investments you have already made in that regard, whether directly or through a ballot box?

What is your preferred approach to investing in ethics?

How do you tell when people have failed to pause and assess their options and preferences adequately?

What is your preferred way to assess options when investing in value? 

When assessing Australian politics you may prefer to read a blog elsewhere rather than Civility Today.  That is your choice.  You may, of course, select both options, if that is your preference.

Please do not allow anyone to force you to read any information, unless such an individual happens to require you to do so for legitimate assessment purposes.

You should, of course, assess your voting options very carefully indeed, before making your preferences known on a ballot paper.

If you require official information on voting practices in Australia, please contact the Australian Electoral Commission for information about federal elections. 

For state, territory and local elections in Australia, please contact the relevant authorities. 

As well as remembering to vote, if you also wish to campaign in an election, whether for a candidate or as a candidate, that is your choice.

Registering your electoral presence as a prospective voter is compulsory if you are already registered.  It is also compulsory for adult Australian citizens to register to vote, and to register their electoral presence in relation to most polls, though it is not necessary to mark the associated ballot papers.

If your preference is for civility in Australian politics, you will obviously wish to select suitably courteous candidates, if any are presented to you.

How do you usually prefer to distinguish between pleasure, fun, raising funds and investing funds?

How do you prefer to explore the present at present, and why?  

What is your preferred approach to investing in thoughtful discussions?

What is your preferred approach to investing in good policy, whether at the ballot box or elsewhere?
