The best way to protest is Australia is to vote for minor parties (and NOT for fake "independents" who are actually from a major party pretending not to be supportive of one).

Having enough minor parties or candidates win seats means the major parties have to work with them to pass bills.  A hung
parliament is a good way to protest, vote enough minors and have the major parties unable to secure a majority.

We had that about 10 years ago and the media went nuts, because people weren't supporting the establishment and not "voting properly".

This is the best way to send a message.  Informal votes mean nothing, are ignored.
