Fuck you South Australia

Now that the liberal party has turned up in the NSW senate calculations, the potential result is even more interesting:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/federal-election-2013/results/senate/nsw/

Not only is Hanson no where to be seen, but the Liberal Democrats are polling 3rd! Clearly as they were 2nd on the ticket and the libs down the far end, morons have accidentally voted for the lib/dems!

God that would make me laugh. Lib Dems are lunatics too, but it would crack me up.

 

[Sidzed2]

Just realised that Abbott looks like a younger Walder Frey.

Can't be arsed to post a message, but trust me on this.

 

[hidys]

Didn't Queensland retain all of its Labor seats? If we want somebody to blame, it's Tasmania!

On current count at least 2 seats are in doubt.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

I'm surprised they let that guy with the turban in there

Taxi drivers of NSW represent. All them votes.

 

[roosters93]

Liberals were always going to get 2-3 Senate quotas in NSW.
The Liberal Democrats are pro hidden guns woo
People definitely confused the names.

 

[Bernbaum]

One of them is hot....the other looks far too much like Abbot. I wouldn't want to be in one up to the hilt and suddenly hear "STOP THE BOATS!" as she reaches climax.

Just tear through her hymen like Tony will tear through the carbon tax.

A few of the parties getting Senate seats according to ABC:

Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party

WHAT!? They're bogans! What the fuck!?!?

 

[EatChildren]

How can anyone respect and vote for this guy?

Few good reasons.

- Labor waste.
- Green waste.
- Global warming is crap.
- Boats.
- Waste waste waste.

eh not so bad. Xenophon and Greens great, Labor good, 2 Liberals alright, FF suck a fat one. Could be worse.

 

[Jintor]

Family First ticket got in? Jesus.

 

[TriangleOfCorruption]

Shorten is speaking like the opposition leader already.

Victoria am disappoint.

Xenophon has been a wanker this year. Basically 3 bad, 1 okay, 1 good and 1 hateful bigoted fuck.

 

[Chuck Norris]

 

[wonzo]

I'm glad SHY retained her seat after Xenophon's populist posturing.

Talk about salty. I didn't not vote because of laziness. I CHOSE not to vote. It's my choice and yes, if a leader sucks arse then I can complain. Better than just throwing it away on a donkey vote like tons of people do.

There's absolutely no excuse for donkey voting in a system with the preferential vote and no mental gymnastics will make it any less pathetic and petulant.

 

[PirateKing]

I'm telling ya, it's about those bloody boats. Those evil spewing boats spreading darkness everywhere they go. #BoatsHaveRights

 

[Antiwhippy]

Victoria voted in the motoring enthusiast? WTF.

Did the sex party gain any seats?

The former PM:

Oh. You guys have that too?

The former PM:

Class act.

QLD with the smallest LNP swing? Get at us!

 

[Dead Man]

Oh. You guys have that too?

We've got it all. Darkies are bad, teh gayz will kill marriage, all of it. Well, not so much religious crazy stuff, but give Abbott a few weeks, he'll get there.

 

[ninjapanda]

Well I must say if you told me Tony Abbott would take over as prime minister from Rudd five years ago I would have laughed at you. But there we go.

I also feel it's not a bad idea to compile all of the promises made by the Liberals so we can hold them to account in three more years. Because it seems the medias memory can be shorter than the publics.

Looking forward to the Senate results.

 

[roosters93]

Xenophon has been a wanker this year.

In what regard?

 

[Odothehero]

It looked so promising for a minute there, Sex Party got over 2% of the primary vote.

 

[lexi]

In what regard?

Preferenced libs and labour ahead of the greens.

I think the Liberal Party took them to court/AEC to have the Lib dems change their name some years ago as they claimed it would cause confusion. They were knocked back, maybe they should have pursued the case harder.

All of these results are very very provisional, very small changes that result in a change of position of the ballot can easily result in the change from winning a seat and being knocked out very early in the count. It's all about not finishing last at each count, the longer you stay alive even with 1/10th of a quota the better your chances even over much larger parties.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Oh. You guys have that too?

They try to talk it up as being extra bad for us 'cause of some kind of "hole" in the "ozone layer" but you know how untrustworthy scientists are. I ain't never heard of no "hole". I bet they made those words up just to swindle us.

Does anyone wanna come with me to Japan for 4 years?

 

[Card Boy]

Tony's daughters are pretty hot.

 

[TriangleOfCorruption]

It's looking like the Greens might hang on to their 2010 numbers. Regained the 3 senate seats of 2007 and Melbourne. 2016 will mean everything for them.

Can't get a read on what it means for the balance of power, but looks like it might mean the balance of power for minor right parties.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I can't believe we have a PM named "Tony".

I hope you voted, hon.

Not only did I vote, I voted below the line, meaning I had to number 54 candidates in order for my ballot to be counted. I didn't even know there were that many people in Hobart, let alone candidates.

 

[Jintor]

What the shit is floating over Kerry's shoulder

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Sure, how much will you pay?

Oh you poor man. Try 97.

 

[toddhunter]

I was wondering who that guy on stage was. Which comedian was he?

Pretty poor to do that.

I heard they may have gained 1 or 2 senate seats?

Oh you poor baby. We had yours twice over +1.

 

[Jintor]

Oh you poor man. Try 97.

110.

 

[wonzo]

54 is much better than 110. Fuck NSW.

 

[Dead Man]

In what regard?

Got into quite the nasty shit fight with the Greens, neither side came out looking well, is always light on for details on policies, he is quite happy to go along with the current asylum seeker rubbish.

Alright, he's not terrible, I may have over reacted, but he's not great.

 

[Darklord]

Family First ticket got in? Jesus.

Gross.

 

[Moxx19]

54 is much better than 110. Fuck NSW.

Or 86

 

[gloomy]

Yeah, the 97 below the line was tough. Party streamer ballot.

 

[EatChildren]

110.

Now, ahh. See. This is, ahh. See, ahh. Too many, ahh, to number. Ahh, it's ahh, a waste ahh. Just a waste, really, ahh.

Leigh Sales makes a cameo appearance!

stop the ballots

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Oh you poor man. Try 97.

110.

Jesus, :lol

For some reason I can't remember the last election I voted in having nearly so many candidates.

 

[Darklord]

Cant believe no promised nbn

Honestly, I have a feeling because it's already underway that they'll keep it going. If it costs a shit load then they can turn around and go "Labors fault, we wanted it gone!" and if it turns out fantastic then they'll take the credit. They can't lose.
