well its either mr jobs and girth or that cunt in the office who files papers and nobody knows him but was able to score a management position out of the blue

The hardest part is gonna be deciding who to put last, LNP, Family First, One Nation or the Australian Liberty Alliance.

I'm putting $10 on Libs being returned to Government with a reduced majority. The return is $10.10.

Jesus is everybody having an election this year?

[QUOTE=Sableye;50628621]Jesus is everybody having an election this year?[/QUOTE] We have elections like every year.

I for one am pro-dictatorship.

[quote]THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER WILL BE[/quote] Ooh, I love these fill-in-the-blanks! Uh... Lizard People. Gonna go with Lizard People.

here we go again [video=youtube;1WjyvFikJZc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WjyvFikJZc[/video]

Labor needs to win so we can get this country out of the shithole the libs put us in but they're probs not going to. Fucking media.

[QUOTE=Bradyns;50554709]I still reckon it will be a re-do of 2010, where Labor / Greens form a minority government.[/QUOTE] I still believe this will be the outcome. Voting for Shazza in Newcastle.

Make the right choice Australia. Because we fucked up here in the US and they fucked up in the UK

Also, you can practice vote on the AEC website: [URL="http://www.aec.gov.au/Voting/How_to_vote/practice/practice-house-of-reps.htm"]House of Reps[/URL] [URL="http://www.aec.gov.au/Voting/How_to_vote/practice/practice-senate.htm"]Senate[/URL] Tells you if you've made a valid/formal vote and not a donkey.

I'm will be in Spain this year. So sadly I won't be having a sausage sizzle. :(

I've been working pre-polling for the last 2 weeks, but couldn't do polling day today, since some bastard gave me the flu. So, since I'm no longer working for them, I think I'm allowed to comment now. The amount of people saying they wanted help actually filling in their ballot, then saying they wanted to vote Labor, was staggering. I'm not sure how that will represent in the final count though. That, and there were a decent handful of people who just went in to get their name crossed off, then went straight to the ballot boxes to put their empty one in. They were always rude.

I have a really odd feeling that this guy may have cost the liberals the election. [img]http://i.imgur.com/hAcS89J.jpg[/img]

Guys. You're all missing the point. The only real important part of the election is getting your sausage, so see your local collection point here: [url]http://www.electionsausagesizzle.com.au/[/url] Jokes aside, done my part. The Senate paper is 1.1 meter long (3 feet 7.307 inches for you non-metrics) which is insane!

They were sent to polling booths in bundles of "100", but by weight, not by count. So, every time we got a delivery, we'd have to pull 6 people off of whatever they were doing to go count, then when they were done, get another 6 to recount and make sure. Most of the time, the senate papers would have +/- 5, but one I counted was delivered as having 100, only had 79 in it. All the HoR papers were fine though, different process

Continuously having to shift it around to vote because of the booths being so small. A tip if you want to get past the local members of each party handing out pamphlets, just put some earphones on and listen to some music.

I've been travelling all around Melbourne and I've seen nothing but labor and greens posters with the hint of liberal democrats and LNP

The polling station I went to was selling plants..

Give it to me straight, what are the chances of Liberal Getting back in?

Worked for the One Nationers outside my local polling place.

[QUOTE=Xonax;50631101]Give it to me straight, what are the chances of Liberal Getting back in?[/QUOTE] Polls seem to indicate that it's swinging their way.. but I am puckering my rear for the surprise Green uprising in both houses. This will be a truly interesting election given the rise in right wing / conservative candidates; as well as the polarization on so many large topics.

You can't erase any mistakes, you have to get a new ballot. I preferences 30 candidates below the line, and it would have pissed me off of say if for #29 I accidentally cast a second #28 preference.

[QUOTE=Xonax;50631101]Give it to me straight, what are the chances of Liberal Getting back in?[/QUOTE] The consensus amongst pollsters is a return to government with a reduced majority. But who knows, their might be a shock result like with the Brexit. The most interesting fight will be for the Senate. The electoral quota for Senators in each state is ~7.7% of the vote, unlike normal elections where it's ~14.28%. However, we don't have the sneaky preference deals for third parties unlike the last election. I think smaller parties (Greens, NXT, CDP etc) will benefit, but micro parties will (rightfully) lose out. [editline]2nd July 2016[/editline] Oh yeah it's fun to realise that regardless of who wins, either Shorten or Turnbull will resign if their party loses.
