Any results from Melbourne?

Swing towards Bandt. He is back.

 

[i_am_ben]

well at least with such massive swings the Liberal Party won't have to bow so extensively to special interests.

Australia might finally be able to start planning on how to fund the baby boomer retirement/healthcare costs.

 

[Yagharek]

Oh yay Mal Brough is going to get in. For those of you who have forgotten:

"Mr Brough, acted with Mr Ashby and another Slipper staffer Karen Doane in abusing the judicial process for the "purpose of causing significant public, reputational and political damage to Mr Slipper"

"Brough's fundraiser menu offered dishes disparagingly named after members of the Labor Party, including the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, who was described using sexist remarks as having 'Small Breasts, Huge Thighs & A Big Red Box'"

Yep. Disgusting scum.

 

[jgminto]

MONEY FOR EVERYONE!

Palmer throwing silver dollars from the rooftops tomorrow.

EDIT: Gon get tanked

 

[bomma_man]

I actually did, during NaNoWriMo. Trouble is, the first draft sucks. I mean it suuuucccks

The plot is barely coherent, the story is reliant on a huge Deus Ex Machina and the main characters are paper thin. Writing pithy comments on message boards is easy. Writing for real is hard.

But thank you.

;_;

I'm sure your fiction is good but you should really be writing social and political analysis. If my former sociology tutor can write op ed for the Guardian you sure can.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott........Tony Abbott...... Who'd have thunk it back in 2007 when Rudd swept to power

Not yet. It's still very close. Hope she loses hard though at the last minute.

 

[ramyeon]

ABC saying Mirabella re-elected

They were predicting her not to be re-elected with 41%.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Swing towards Bandt. He is back.

Yep he's far ahead, sure to win.

 

[Jintor]

Bant projected to hold Melbourne. Some good news for now

Brunswick hipsters doing their part.

The girls nodding their heads in the background, so funny.

 

[roosters93]

Some cute young girls behind Bandt...hmm...VOTE 1 GREENS

 

[Jintor]

[lexi]

Fuck yeah Adam Bandt!!!!!!!

 

[TriangleOfCorruption]

Get up Bandt!

 

[user_nat]

So they are calling Fairfax for Palmer.

As a Fairfax residentant.. This is interesting.

 

[roosters93]

ABC saying Mirabella re-elected

Was just the (automatic?) graphic. Antony Green was contradicting it at the same time.

Yeah my bad, there is still some hope.

Lol wat! As if Palmer even wants to sit in parliament. He's way too busy building the Titanic. How did this happen?

 

[roosters93]

Is it just me or has Tony Jones got more tricksy with his questions and insistent on pollies answering silly questions?

 

[Juicy Bob]

But you'll need that to leave!

I've already left!

Pretty sure the swing to the Libs overall isn't that huge, the swing away from ALP/Greens to others is huge compared to that.

Also the whole 3% super thing is getting scrapped by the Libs isn't it? That seemed like a positive step towards baby boomer laziness (hey Dad!).

Simple!

#AusVotes

I feel like I'm not cynical enough.

 

[wonzo]

Mal Brough's a piece of shit but at least the Greens have retained Melbourne. Also Clive palmer's deff. gonna win Fairfax.

I'm starting the 2016 campaign now.

BRING BACK KIM
edit: large image, was tempted to leave unquoted

Never forget 1998.

 

[shanshan310]

Ahahahahaha Palmer got in? Ahahahahahah.

 

[hidys]

Was just the (automatic?) graphic. Antony Green was contradicting it at the same time.

Yeah it seems that racist obnoxious fuckwit will loose her seat to the independent. He was even assuming 70% preference flow from Labor which I think will be higher.

 

[jgminto]

I'll pay someone $50 and a roast beef sandwich to smuggle me to the US.

 

[wonzo]

ABC saying Mirabella re-elected

Nah, Green said he wouldn't call it just yet.

 

[Whiteshirt]

Higgins and Kooyong letting the team down

That's assuming they were part of the team in the first place.

Kooyong is basically home to a billion "elite" $20,000p.a. private schools - I went to one. For every state secondary school, there are practically two private schools and something like 70% of kids in Kooyong are private educated. Literally all the people and kids who live there are overprivileged and most don't know how good they have it so its no wonder they auto-vote Liberal every time.

 

[Moxx19]

Holy fuck Palmer! Brb getting more alcohol

 

[hidys]

LOL Kerry O'Brien just said Palmer could win his seat...

 

[Damo Yoshi]

...

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

I MIGHT HAVE ACCIDENTALLY WRITTEN 73 TWICE ON MY SENATE PAPER

Sorry guys, if Tony wins both houses, don't beat me up ='(

 

[jgminto]

Man, if Libs cut ABC funding they'll be using Doom sprites next election.

 

[Omikron]

I am sure Palmer didn't really want to win a seat himself, but now has. Shit gunna we real fucking weird.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Palmer taking seat of Fairfax? Does what Reincan't.

 

[Yagharek]

If clive palmer wins, he will start having to declare his financial interests. Im sure the ATO will be keen on that.

 

[toddhunter]

Guys on sky news going in hard on Bandt claiming it is a great result for the greens.

Lost a quarter of their vote.
