Personally, I don’t want the Coalition to keep the promises I’ve heard so far.

The parties obviously aren’t the same, I haven’t seen anyone say that here. In fact, I prefer one far more than the other and my preferences reflect that. But both are inadequate. The false dichotomy people keep implying, despite the consistent rise of minor parties and the crossbench, is bloody irritating. (I know your post is talking about parties that have held government and there are only two of those, I’m referring to the “both parties are the same” line)
