Interesting poem, although I disagree about being no better in the land of the kangaroo. I think our leaders are not perfect by any means, but are nowhere near as corrupt, hate-filled and divisive as some are in the US. Best wishes for your entry.

Ah, Wendy, you are blessed with not knowing how bad our supposed leaders are! Thank you anyway

This is good. No, really, it's not good. It's a damn tragedy our country, like the US is in turmoil. Who can you trust? Both sides lie.
Then again, I suppose it's so much better than in many countries. At least we get the chance to vote. To decide. Which one of these two will do the least harm? What a choice?

Oh, Bob, I feel for you all. Politics dominates our news broadcasts here in Australia. You are correct. We have a choice, but God has control. It may sound trite, but I have been praying for the outcome. God Bless and thank you

I think you've captured the disillusionment and skepticism surrounding politics very well here, my only feedback would be to maybe look at the rhythm of the rhyme as in some places it felt a bit wonky and had a jarring effect. Most of these were your fourth line in each stanza, and the last line of the poem.
You've got the imagery and basics there, with a bit of tweaking I think it would jump off the page a bit more and be even stronger.
