Did Barry Cassidy just say it's more likely than not to be a hung parliament?
Yeah... I'm hoping with Tassie going red, things'll be a little better, but... when my local hospital I get treatment at, I'm waiting hours to get into the clinic for my appointments due to staffing issues, half the ICU isn't funded, most of the emergency senior staff quitting/reducing hours...
I know most of it is the state government fuckery, less than the federal government, but right now, it's not something I can afford. My chemo's $1000+ per month, maybe $3500 per 21 days if I change in a few weeks. I'm a poor 21 year old uni student, I can't really afford more health care fuckery

Wyatt Roy in trouble. Might need to see if local high schools are accepting returning students semester 2.
Looks like 12-13 to Labor atm, 1 or 2 labor to liberal, 1 or 2 NXT and WA still to come.

Still hoping for Armidale and perhaps Tamworth to provide some numbers, but Antony seemed to think that there were already enough first preferences for BJ that it won't matter. I think the last graph had BJ in by a 6% margin, which is a decent swing but not nearly enough.

$2 for snag and onions on some white bread, with choice of Masterfoods squeezie bottle tomato or barbecue, and $2 for a can of drink.

There was no vegetarian option so I voted Greens in protest.

Looking at the senate results, no idea how early it is, the AEC website doesn't say. Probably very early. Get prepared for 2-3 One Nation reps. 2 from QLD and maybe even 1 from NSW.
The last 2 days I've been pretty dejected thinking there wouldn't be much change, but at least Turnbull is going to get a good kicking and a ructious senate for his DD hubris.

On the presumption that there's no change in WA.
Absolute mayhem.
Dont do this to yourself. Bitterness to the very end.

I know numerous people voting for One Nation and I've been saying it for a long time now that they'll get their reps. Toxicity.

Well to date they have not come up with any policy that has directly affected me........
So I will continue to throw my support behind solid government
And Labor's own shit show between 2007 - 2012/13 was any better ?
It was far far far worse.Ahhh my old mate from the previous election, how I have missed you after all of this time :-D
Fucking lovely. And yes, they have, even if you are too ignorant to notice.Well to date they have not come up with any policy that has directly affected me........

Someone check on Andrew Bolt. I hope he doesn't do anything too drastic.

I've looked further and ONP are in with a shot of a seat in Tasmania and SA!
Please be very early results.

"I've got mine" is like the 101 of life long Liberal supports so whatever.
EDIT: Which candidate will get me my tax return quicker? I'll vote for them.

You could easily just blurt out their technology/nbn deal HOWEVER I couldn't give two shits about the internet speed, the current speed more than suits my needs.:
You really need to watch Mad As Hell

You don't use internet? Or have blood tests? Among many many other things that probably affect you directly or indirectly.
You think a federal government makes no policies that effect you?

Ahhh my old mate from the previous election, how I have missed you after all of this time :-D
So you're comparing a minority govt that passed all its budgets versus a govt with a 29 seat majority that only got one budget through?
Personally I like to try and vote towards something that does the most good to the most people, rather than simply voting out of my own selfish interests.
If A will improve my life relatively minimally but B will improve the lives of thousands greatly, I will happily vote the latter.
For example, better NBN especially to regional Australia, marriage equality*, investment in health and education, and slightly higher spending will have almost little impact on most people, but the benefits could in the long run will probably greatly improve the lives of many.
*I know social conservatives hate the idea of gay marriage but it honestly will not affect them at all.

I use internet derpppppppppppppppppppppp. I am 100% fine with the speed it is now though
.I have NEVER had a blood test that I can remember - would have been a baby or thereabouts.
In that case I refuse to vote for a party that will spend spend spend spend and never try to recoup the cost of all of their spending

Hung parliament and a senate full of nutcases.

I am certain you will have perfect health forever and internet speeds will be sufficient with copper until at least 2095.
