2013 Federal Election: 7 September 2013

[sydboy007]

I was descended on by huge swarm all yelling at me like sideshow barkers. There was a pretty little girl chatting with the Liberal guy, handing out Senate flyers for Family First. Rather than disappoint her, I took her flyer as well as the Liberal one. She gave me a cheery wave when i came out.

Family First is the only minor party I would ever consider voting for, and their preferences go to the LNP.

They're also the ONLY party that has a housing policy that COULD help and doesn't pander to the current vested interests.

Saying that, there's about as much chance of me winning lotto as any of their policies being enacted.

They may pick up a seat in another state, but not in Qld. The last spot here could go to PUP (Thick as a Brick) Glen Lazuras or Katter's hillbilly singer James Blundel.

Jesus. Those two will need how to vote cards once they're in the senate.

 

[springhill]

Labor, Greens nor any other party except the Libs at the booth I was at this morn.

 

[Calliope]

Getting ready for the party?

+1. I heard both of them being interviewed on Qld Local Radio a week or so ago.
It's just beyond me how people like this can even get preselected.

I see a record 3million people voted before the election.

As we have been saying for 12months, everyone is over this lot.

This Labor Government will go down as the most fragmented, devious, devisive, nasty and self centred government in Australian history.IMO
Their constant personal attacks on Abbott has been their undoing, whoever came up with that plan should be taken out the back and sorted out.

PALMER UNITED PARTY IS POLLING 9.5% IN QUEENSLAND & 5% IN NEW SOUTH WALES & WESTERN AUSTRALIA

He could pick up a couple of seats if the prefs flow to him.

Yeh, it’s quite incredible that having witnessed how Anna Bligh fared after her constant attacks on Campbell Newman in the QLD election campaign, that fool Rudd just copied Bligh’s mistakes instead of learning from them.
His other big mistake has been in telling one lie after another on issues where he looked like a complete goose once the truth came out. The most notable of these was perhaps his claim that Treasury had found a 7 billion dollar hole in Abbot’s figures, and next thing a couple of treasury officials come out and refute Rudd’s claim! LOL
Whatever tiny amount of credibility Rudd may have had was completely blown out of the water by that rather comical incident.

Anyway, no doubt the lying, scheming Rudd will be at church tomorrow, pretending he’s a good Christian. Somebody should point out to him that one of the ten commandments is ‘Thou shalt not lie’.

Both of the two big major parties seem to be getting a slightly lower % of the vote this year too as a result of this. Hopefully it is a long-term trend as people get sick of the entitlement society that those two parties continually create and nurture through their vote buying practices.

If the exit polling is to be believed it's way down. They're pulling in ~76% of the vote, they've never been below 80%. I imagine the informal vote will jump up too.

Good to see the people are speaking.

My vote technically doesn't matter much in the result of the election, but the idea behind it seems to be gaining traction. That is something at least!

 

[MrBurns]

Which channel will you be watching ?, think I'll switch between Kerry O'Brien, who gets more interesting as the red goes down, and Laurie Oaks on 9.

I am sooooooooooooooooo glad this is over.
The Labor party have been a headache for years.

 

[Macquack]

Where is your election victory celebration party at, Burns?

Invite me over.

p.s. I am a sore loser.

Just a quite one at home Mac.......I'm just relieved it's all over, it's been a long time coming.

The party ? 34 Wagner St Sunbury Vic, you're welcome, ohhh hang on that's the address of Hells Angels.

Try quiet

 

[Miss Hale]

Well my tip for tonight is Port Adelaide to beat Collingwood, oh hang on, I mean Abbott to beat Rudd Glad to have football to distract me from politics though. Have only seen a bit of the coverage but it seems Craig Thomson is polling very badly, what a shame

Our local Labor member was at the polling booth when I went to vote so I made sure my Coalition 'How to Vote' card (the only one I took) was clearly on display when she was near me. In front of me in the queue were three very young voters who clearly had no idea what they were supposed to do, I was going to educate them but since they were planning to vote Greens I didn't bother :evilburn:

I am also having a quiet celebratory drink at home Mr B (maybe you can tell )

Thought your were being humble for a second, my mistake.

Everybody knows you live in "Toorak", were you swindled some old widow out of her mansion by being the "gun" real estate agent who did not even put the property to market.
