This week, my LNP candidate for Herbert has sent me sh*t in the mail every single day. What a waste of resources. Does he have a freakin’ timber pulp mill in Burnie or something? He’s a git who stands on the side of the Herbert Roads, and waves at cars. He weighs around the Kim Beazley, Robert Ray kinda girth and he should be walking those Roads, not standing and waving. The seat of Herbert has been Peter Lindsays (the current retiring LNP candidate) for some time now, so you would call this a relatively safe Liberal seat.

The Labor candidate was Mayor here for 19 years, his enemy Condon will tell you that Mooney earned 2.2million in wages during that time and did sweet FA for the rest. Mooney seems to be good mates with Gillard and Captain Bligh.

The Green candidate thought they said Greek Party, and he signed up with Yiros and Ouzo at the ready.

Both Fanta Pants and Budgie Smuggler are not leaders, in fact, they’re not Leader’s Aresholes. The Australian people are finally being asked to decide between Mum and Dad. Mr and Mrs (Effin’) non-charisma.

Get out there this Saturday and make your vote count…. Eeee-awww, eee-awww, eeee-awww.

Now who’s the potty mouth, lol.

Thanks, your post made me laugh. Hehe Greek Party hehe..

I voted for Max :)

hehehe another giggle, you spelt arseholes wrong, hahaha.

Oh I’m on the ball this early ..

Did he really…you are on the ball…goes to fetch spectacles… and coffee…

Aresholes

Yeps, he sure did…chuckle

Reading the news.. the budge smugglers proposal to let uni students pay some off their hecs fees by becoming a volunteer for the community.
Now your average uni student, unless they are born with the silver soon in the mouth thing, work their butts off in menial jobs in order to live, many forgoing decent meals, and bagging mum and dad for food to keep what little they earn to pay the rent.
So exactly what spare time do they have for volunteering ?

I know my uni student girl doesn’t have time. She’s up early, gets her son ready for school with a healthy lunch and boots off to the city to uni. Can’t take the train because they never run on time. Then she finishes at 2 pm , boots back home , collects her son, feeds him an early meal then off to her nursing arvo shift until 11 pm. Then she studies half the night.

Didn’t know Bob was a equine hoof. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

I’ve been dirty for a long time, about the fact that the politicians who said (the same one that got rid of compulsory student unions…as we all know these fees paid for a lot of the “free” or reduced price stuff on campus) “OK, the students can pay for their tertiary education” are the same ones who achieved their uni degrees under Gough Whitlam’s free tertiary education scheme…some of my employees are 10 years paying off their HECS (and now mis-named “HELP”)…it comes out of their estates if they die before paying it off…oh I think it stinks…Students are meant to be students: that’s their occupation…the crud about working in the workforce outside the uni walls, just to feed themselves, is wrong IMO…they say “oh the yanks do it” but would the Yanks be better off if they offered free or minimal cost tertiary education to all who are capable of it? I think so…

Hmm I think I had better stay out of this thread.. :)

my wife’s school got a new gym out of that stimulus money and they are very happy.

it sounds like labour is on the nose in ‘wales and queersland – so it will be decided there.

The problem with this election if you ask me, is the news media is treating it as a Silly Season…normally you get policy debate ad nauseum but this time we’re getting personalities (you don’t elect a Prime Minister for goodness sake) and Much Ado about Nothing…petty little things that shouldn’t see the light of day …. at any time…

So you haven’t been uploading them all to http://www.electionleaflets.org.au/, then? :D

I’ve only received three leaflets – threw the first one out, uploaded the second to the site above, and threw out the third one as it was more of the same from the guy who sent the second one. Maybe its the no junk mail sign on the letterbox.

well the election tally room website, currently has 74% of votes all checked with 71 seats to both parties and 4 seats still in doubt.

so far in my electorate; 4,697 people have voted informally. That’s a lot of wasted votes, hope mine wasn’t amongst them?

morning veg, I reckon that book at the school had all the names in your state.

All the names in the state, Didn’t seem to be many with the same last name as myself.
Thing I’m not Understanding is what this Hung Prime Minster or what they are saying?

A Hung Parliament means that neither of the major parties has a majority in the House of Reps. So at the moment it stands at 71 seats each, with the Independents with 3 seats and the Greens with 1.

So if Australia needs a decision made in the next three years, the party faithful at the Labs and the Libs will not be able to decide… so they’ll need support from the Indies and the Greenies.

From the Aussie Electoral Website

thanks PM for that website.

Enrolment: 92,149 thats just for my local area (Paterson).

Mr Bob Baldwin has got the Local seat I believe, thats sites pretty neat.

See how Bob has 51% of the votes, that’s the primary count. So on all those green bits of paper, Bob has got a ‘1’ on 51% of all of ‘em. So, in reality, the counters don’t even need to go to the preferences, he has his seat by a majority on primary votes. Good strong position to be in.

on that site, you can even check out how the votes went at the very polling booth you voted in. I can see that at my local Primary School, we voted for Tony Mooney over the fat-waving-guy but in general Herbert voting it looks like the fat-waving-guy will win the seat.

I see the young Roy fella has won his seat. At the ripe old age of 20, if he gets 2 terms in parliament, his superannuation will look mighty sweet before he hits 30 years of age.

Check out the size of Kennedy electorate

Held by Bob Katter Jnr (Independent), his father had it before him…

It’s the grey one in Queensland…

The ABC News online is slow this morning, guess lots are checking in for the ‘Lection latest…

Very behind, but yes. The website I linked to collects scans/photographs of election leaflets for posterity, and also for accountability once the person gets in – they can go back and check what was promised.

Interestingly, and I didn’t know this before, Bob Katter Snr was ALP to start with…but they are both passionate about their electorate (Mr Katter Snr has passed away this many a year tho’) so Mr Katter Snr converted to the Country Party and there he stayed…Bob Katter Jnr became disenchanted with this because of the lack of support for his electorate, and became an Independent (had been a Qld State parliamentarian previously) and because he works so diligently in his electorate, is returned consistently with thumping majorities…

Interesting tale about the Katters: Mr Katter Snr and his second wife (I believe the first had passed away) and the family were flying to Mt Isa when an air hostess asked if the children “would like to step outside and play?” So I guess the grots were called to order soon after that…

lol! No one would dare say anything like that now!

the independent country boys are looking good.

there has been too much political emphasis on slick spin and city solicitors.
i think we could try to emphasize the importance of the countryside to all.

it wouldn’t hurt if we broke down the party lines and got a bit of independent thinking. i saw the 4 corners summary of the GFC – and our economic system is counterfeit capitalism propped up by taxpayers money/ borrowings.

slow food and country living is looking good.

Mr Katter senior went to school with my late M-I-L and used to visit them when MrBL was small. He told M-I-L that young Bob was a bit mad. LOL
