i am a swinging voter and I won't be voting for either of the major parties. I do not agree with the LNP policy of selling the electricity grid so they are out. As for Labor, they did nothing for this state infrastructure and transport wise for the many years they were in. That leaves me with a minor party choice and I am keeping that vote secret.

Best thing about this election is that it is the first one where you can vote online, that is if you fall into the right category. Online voting should become a choice for everybody, the sooner the better.

Wow what a great idea. I've done a few election day fetes in my time and am often surprised by the freaks that seem to come out from under rocks or down from the hills on election day. It's worse than going to the RTA.

I'm a bit the same as you Bill a swinging voter and I don't really want to encourage either of the major parties in this one. Minor parties and independents for me.
 
Baird will have something to confess this Sunday when he goes to Church. Just another scumbag:

Premier Mike Baird has admitted his office called an investment bank before it altered a report critical of the impact of electricity privatisation on the state budget, forcing him on the defensive over his main policy 10 days from the election.

UBS - one of two banks handling the electricity privatisation plan for the government - said in the initial report it would damage the budget in the long term due to the loss of billions of dollars in dividends and other payments.

But the bank - which stands to benefit by earning millions of dollars in fees if the transaction proceeds after the March 28 election - reissued the report with an addendum removing a statement the transaction was "bad for the budget".

And that my friend is how privatisation works.

Hire some consultant and get them to write a report. Tell them the conclusions first, and make sure they understand that it's in their interests to come up with a report which recommends the government's preferred outcome.

Rotten to the core.
 
Thanks to Bill M for the info on iVote.

My vote is all done and dusted and I don't have to run the gauntlet of phampleteers and cake stalls on voting day.

Did you vote Palmer or the nude party candidate?
 
When will voters wake up to the blatant lies by the NSW Labor Party and the unions....Even old Labor leaders are confirming the lies by by Foley and the unions....I guess the unions don't want privatization for fear they will lose control.

And listen to what Martin Ferguson thinks of the NSW Labor party.....it is not a good look.

What do these ALP luminaries have in common?

Paul Keating, Morris Iemma, Michael Costa, Bob Carr, Martin Ferguson

Answer: they all think the proposed electricity poles and wires lease is a good idea, a good deal for NSW.

A lease may be a good idea, but 99 years is as good as a sale.

10 years may be more appropriate, and if the company doesn't give good value the lease goes to someone else.

They are only leasing 49%.

Just like they only sold part of Telstra an the rest will always remain in public hands, right?

49% will become 100% in due course. That's the path it always takes. As such, the debate is about the ultimate sale or lease (and if a lease it effectively is a sale if the lease term is long enough) of 100% of the asset. It's very, very unlikely that they'll sell / lease 49% and leave it at that forever. :2twocents
 
Labor's now familiar colour,

How terrible that they want to protect the environment.

I always smile when I see angry stances against environmental issues, we have already cleared 2/3s of Australia's tree cover and have one of the highest extinction rates of native species world wide clearly thats not enough for some.
