  1. This article has some great charts & graphs, showing the breakdown in early voters.
    TODAY by NOON, checkins (including early votes) has BLOWN AWAY recent mayoral races, 1.2M votes total!
    We will likely see totals which will compare w/ the record-breaking races of 1965, '69: 2.6M, 2.46M votes (81%!).
    Early voters younger than 44 were a huge surprise this time...

  2. The Libs (( and the Greens )) should lose "The Sneer".

    ""The Liberals are in danger of becoming the Kodak of Australian politics. They are certainly in the deepest crisis since their formation in 1944. It is hackneyed to point out that this is not the party of Menzies, but that does not make the claim untrue.""

    An Interesting read by Frank Bongiorno.

    The parenthesized greens is my "work".

    *The John Gorton Quote is stunning.*

    The Nats are same old same old always sooking, always the victim, even now.

    & sticking with the #Scottish flavour of this #electorate in this election, #TheGreens are running #McRae #McLeod, the #Libs are running a candidate named #McClintock & sitting #Labor member is a #Mitchell.

    I’m expecting door to door Haggis knocking in the seat of #McEwen this year.

    I’ll break out my Clan tartan on election day. #auspol

    there is no such thing as a #voting system which perfectly captures the intentions of the #electorate

    all you can do is do better, and #rcv is better than #fptp. so we choose better

    it's not about perfection. it never was and never will be

    (there's voting systems even better than #rankedchoicevote, like #singletransferablevote, but the momentum in the #usa right now is behind ranked choice #vote, so we go for that, for now)

  5. You think #Germany just couldn't reign in #ElonMusk with his hate-platform #Twitter the same way #France did with #PavelDurov and #Telegram?

    Because Elmo runs a big factory in Germany with lot's of jobs?

    Well, better take a look at #Article15 of the german #constitution (#Grundgesetz).

    The very day our #electorate picks some non-chicken for a change, all the oh so mighty power of that sucker vanishes over night.

  6. @SpaceLifeForm @TonyStark I'm not sure that the fellow who called them the #liberals was trying to hide their bullshit as a party. That having been said the #liarberals are not interested at any level in the #future of this country. That was proven by Taylor's #bullshit yesterday. Even the #PM laughed at him and pointed out that the liberals want to go #backwards.

    Also remember that it was Australia that have Tromp the idea of treating refugees like blowflies. Swat them. #Conceal them. #Marginalise them and then "other" them. They become the #enemy in the non critical mind of the #electorate.
