Think about the NBN mate.

 

[demidar]

Oh right. Anything to raise Australia out of the internet quagmire that it stews in.

What about 'Oath to Order'?

 

[SmartBase]

Well the dreaded day is here and I need to find some kind of universally offensive shirt to wear to the polls so I don't get approached by all the party people.

Too late

It's time.

Does anyone know what time the polls open? I want to get there and vote early to avoid the rush!

Typically 8am.

Heading off to vote, also want to get this out of the way early.

Also fun to pointedly ignore the "how to vote" people before their spirits are completely crushed.

Good luck no matter which way you are voting. Hopefully your choice wins locally and mine overall

If the Liberals win, I hope they do a great job and there are really good times for Australia ahead.

 

[tsumineko]

Awesome thank you

 

[Jables Swan]

Any election just reminds me of this now.

Change!!!

 

[toddhunter]

Couldn't resist.

"How to vote greens?"
"Sorry, I just can't support Clive Palmer"

It took her a second to recover, but she handled it well

See a doctor on your way back, you're delirious.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Abbott? Really, guys? C'mon!

At least the gaffes will be fun.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Around 88 seats for the Coalition is the consensus over here. What's the prediction down there?

 

[tsumineko]

Wow, Sunrise is already talking as if Abbot has won this. They're acting as if everyone is just heading off to the polls to vote Liberal.

Oh god, I have to watch this trainwreck.

More than any other, this is the election that's been won by biased media coverage. Shocking and depressing to think about.

PS. I'm gonna try headphones.

PPS. I assume that the best way to make sure I'm putting as few preferences to the Libs as possible is to follow the Labor H2V cards?

Tell me about it. Modern Australia, ladies and gentlemen.

Yes, just follow the sheet the Labor representative will give you when you head in to vote.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

On the bright side, Labor's time in opposition would surely shift them to the left and be more reasonable next time and-

Or the greens! VOTE GREENS

 

[tsumineko]

Or that. haha!

I did notice the Greens were putting Liberals last on their how to vote sheet, but Labor was only two steps ahead at number 5. Is that normal? They aren't supporting a whole lot of crazy independents are they?

This is a serious question, I'm honestly confused by that.

 

[markot]

I voted GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

 

[lexi]

If only AusGAF was a country. What a utopia that would be.

 

[markot]

If I was dictator of it, then, maybe.

It varies from seat to seat, for example they have Labor as their second preference in my seat (Grayndler) for the lower house.

Got it, thanks. Good thing I didn't follow their sheet then hah.

Man, Chaser used to be so awesome. Now they're just...

 

[markot]

They got fat and greedy on success.

They were at their best with their newspapers.

Time will tell I guess, but I think it will work out.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Going to vote now, my first time.

I'll probably enjoy the sausage sizzle more that the actual voting.

Yep, spending billions to fix such a fucking shitty NBN in 15 years will be awesome.

Heh.

Labor's (and Greens'?) NBN is the only thing that I really wanted, now we won't even get that.

Hi neighbour!

I put my preferences together independently, and they happen to mirror the Greens. All in all, it seems like too nice of a day for an apocalypse. Anybody spot a horsemen in their electorate?

 

[tsumineko]

My god, I couldn't stomach the bias anymore... I had to switch to ABC News 24.

 

[Jintor]

I'm off to exercise my right to democratically vote in someone who will almost certainly lose to LNP jackbutt Paul Fletcher

 

[Bulbagarden]

Damnit. While it's nice to see so many people developing a last minute interest in the Pirate Party, having the amount of traffic KO the website is a pain in the arse.

 

[Rubixcuba]

Voted Labor/Greens !
Despite what will probably happen today I hope my fellow Novocastrians don't break our 112 years of Labor straight for the House of Reps.

Sunrise is infuriating.

Since forever?

The only tolerable one is the blonde chick. The main one, who was there since the start.

 

[DrSlek]

I want to ask the liberal how to vote person 2 things.

Who are we in debt to and why is it a bad thing?

I'm curious about their answer....still voting greens/labor though.

 

[toddhunter]

Best I could do was a cake stall so I scored some caramel slice. Not a bad day.

Sammy superior (not that I actually watch Sunrise, mind)

Pretty much.

 

[r1chard]

Wow, Sunrise is already talking as if Abbot has won this. They're acting as if everyone is just heading off to the polls to vote Liberal.

The people in front and behind me at least two deep were. And the people in the booths next to mine both did. So based on that exhaustive polling, the Labor guy currently holding my seat is gonna be toast.

Had a nice coffee. Came away with some nice cookies.

Completely didn't engage the guy behind me when he said to the Liberal candidate "mate, I hope you fix everything". He works in timber, and the building industry decline has hurt him. So yeah, the fucking expensive and unnecessary tunnel which was the only thing the Liberal candidate has been talking about will really help him!

I'd like to report that my sausage sizzle in Kariong was delicious!!! Sausage, Egg, Bacon & Onion!

Voting below the line took like fifteen minutes even pre prepared. This battle gonna be decided on preferences n

 

[Kanyon]

Think about the NBN mate.

That's what really has me riled up about this election, that everyone is so eager for a change that they're so short-sighted about the NBN... We're going to be using a fucking copper line in 2019!

 

[Replicant]

Why are the news making it sound like Liberal already winning? Fuck them. I want to show them how wrong they are. Just like I wanted to show the gaming press back then how wrong they were for supporting MS' grand plan to screw the customers.

Tell me about it. I loathe the media.

 

[legend166]

Liberals have won guys. This was obvious a month ago.

You all need to calm down and realise that nothing will drastically change because the Libs won't have a majority in the Senate and will have to govern from the centre like pretty much every government we've had.
