New Senate Poll Ordered For WA

Years ago, I walked into the local polling place with a collection of dice in my hand, and whenever anyone offered me a how to vote card, I showed them the dice and said "I brought my own". I didn't use them for anything important (preference order for parties that had no hope), but the look I got was fun
That's because you looked like a complete dickhead. I can imagine the idiot's grin plastered across your face. Bet you made a long-winded point of explaining the dice to a fair few people too.
An ETS will only come in if Abbott legislates it.

A Vote for Clive is a Vote for Justice
Im sure everyone who voted for the Family First because of strong opposition to the carbon tax.You can add yet another 1.13% for Family first and the DLP and Stop the greens
So far we are up to 53.18% of first preferences for parties opposed to Carbon taxing.
We'll find out soon enough...look, Clive has so many positions that you'd run out of holes to fill with him, he is too unpredictable so who knows how he'll vote regarding the CT.

Are we any closer to working out the 6th seat?
Being a Vic and my connections I trust are in Vic, NSW & Tas I'm struggling to get the information I want to preference flows and whether the ALP or Libs will get the last seat.

Sadly, disdain for democracy seems to be a common trait amongst many pretend conservatives.
Freedom, liberty, democracy*

The irony escapes you.
It's not really linked to any side of politics. There is probably an equivalent sized group on either side who feel that way about their opposite counterparts.
Me too - all 74 of them got ahead of PUP's 3 candidates on my ballot paper
I think it's a good thing that we'll get a Wang in the senate. Will fit right in with all the pricks

I said fake conservatives, xsess position is not consistent with traditional conservative ideology.
And I agree, it is a hallmark of partisan behavior or thinking, the sacrificing of values in favor of a home team.

Still less than 1000 votes between Reynolds and Pratt in the final count. Going to be ridiculously tight.

Most calculators only use the above the line preference flows. When it's this close, it'll depend on those who voted below the line, so it'll be weeks before we know.

So don't hold your breath.
S why dont the coalition negosiate (bishop shares gillards mispronunciation) with the party closest to them in truth
Thats the alp - record amount of legislation in the last parliament often supported by the coalition

Because the last thing either party would want to do would be acknowledge how similar they've become.

Oh for sure!
And I suspect a lot of the below the line votes will have people preferencing Pratt over Bullock. i.e. people deliberately voting BTL so they could preference Pratt, meaning the BTL votes are likely to favour the ALP. Plus more Greens supporters vote BTL generally, and they would generally preference ALP>Lib.

you mean when business closes or don't open in Oz, we give people the dole rather than jobs?

That doesn't really change anything then. Bullock is already elected, so preferencing him lower than Pratt means zero. Greens preferences already flow to the ALP, so that means nothing either.
Whats betting theres about two aec people watching every aec person actually doing the counting !
Probably quite a stressful workplace

The big parties refused to address the elephant in the room - the GST- and paid the price with large swings against. The PUP made the GST an issue and were rewarded handsomely. The Greens rise was on the back of those who dislike Labor but hate conservatives more.
