Strannik, You conveniently aren't telling the whole story.... I guess it all comes back again to which hat you are wearing. Red hat - Tony is dodgy and he should just submit them to a completely impartial Treasury. Blue hat - Tony is right not to submit them to a skewed bias...

I'm absolutely over the moon. :) :) What a superb night for the country. Very very similiar result to the WA State election. Liberals just scrape into power, with the assistance of a few independent country seats. Plenty of money assured for those constituents no doubt, but at...

....they call it "rusted on" lizzie..... and they take full advantage of it. Our little polling booth would have to be right up there. Liberals enjoy something like 81% of the primary votes cast from our neck of the woods. Our local member in the seat sits at about 63% overall...

I hope you are right Thommo. I also get the sneaky suspicion it won't be close at all. I reckon it'll be a landslide victory for the coalition. Apparently the last by-election in NSW saw something like a 24% swing towards the Lib candidate. The Labor pollsters were shocked. I reckon if...

Hi lizzie - not quite. Your seat is the 16th safest Labor held seat in the land. The safest Labor held seat is Batman in Victoria, held by Martin Ferguson who enjoys a 26% margin. Sharon Grierson holds your seat of Newcastle with a 15.9% margin. Looking at the table of safe seats...

Chief, If you are scribbling on the ballot paper or writing something funny, you have already fulfilled your obligation, and therefore won't cop a fine. Knock yourself out and start a Mr Squiggles drawing if you'd like, who knows, maybe the AEC commissioner will take pity on you and finish...

If that's how you wish to interpret and spin my comments - go for your life Mandy....I can see why you used three questions marks.

I don't think it's cynical at all. I think the political parties nail this stuff down to the last gnat's hair.....and know full well the plonkers follow whatever they are told. If that's what the glossy card says, well that's good enough. So what exactly does that mean Mandy Mac ?? Most...

If you vote Greens - you vote for Labor Here is a good example of a marginal seat in the Federal election - Hasluck. http://results.aec.gov.au/13745/Website/HouseDivisionDop-13745-305.htm It's good to see what actually happens to your vote ; Electorate had a total of 73,462...

You flatter me Thommo. Yes, I get frustrated, but not by the jovial banter on this forum. It's all just a bit of light hearted fun. I don't take it seriously anymore. You can put your heart and soul into a great post and some newby punter will sit across the other side of the country and...
