Which is why their is a large correlation between incomes and voting preference in seats.

I was looking forward to watching the late movie 'Idiocracy', apt for an election night, but this extended coverage crap is screwing up the schedule.
Finally, it's taken a while but SRP gets around to the big issues of the election.
Well done comrade. Suspect answer is yes with prolonged confession the next day.
Ahh yes. The Liberals are a bogan party and the left is a bastion of intellectualism.
Last time I checked, one major party's heartland was blue collar and the other was wealthy inner-city suburbs. If you're going to buy into stereotypes you may as well make sure they stack up in some form.
'Idiocracy'
Have to post my agreement.
Both parties pandering to Commercial media type focus groups and a simple minded lowest common denominator mentality.
Evening all.
Enjoying the night?

Exactly right mate.
The two major parties now seem to be more and more interested in two things above all else - focus groups, and the whims of xenophobic and self-indulgent, self-centred bogan types, mostly found in outer suburbia.
The ALP are slipping further and further towards the gutter, and the Liberals are already well and truly there.
And by the way, to reiterate, this election campaign has seen a barrage of the most blatant and cynical fraud, by way of deliberate and repetitive lies in public statements and political advertising, that I can remember witnessing during a Federal election.
The vast majority of such fraudulent content, certainly the worst of it, has come from the Liberal Party, but the ALP haven't exactly been particularly high-minded either.
We want LEADERSHIP! People who actually see a higher purpose in government, and seek to appeal to the better angels of our nature. And I'm increasingly thinking that the only way we're going to get it is if the ALP and the Liberals both get a good hard whack at the polling booths for their lowest-common-denominator outlook.
It has been hilarious. The actors dance, the audience looks confused and the world burns*......Evening all.
Enjoying the night?
I would do Abbott's wife and daughter's at the same time.
The Liberal Party has an ability to get voters in lower socio economic areas to vote for a party that doesn't have their interests at heart. Boat people aren't a major “issue” in the real sense of the word, the Liberals turn it into an issue. Equally one only needs to look at their stance on private/ public school funding arrangements and their position on economic stimulus during the GFC. They are real issues that are in direct conflict with the needs and wants of those in lower socio economic areas.
Is Abbott seriously claiming a mandate?Evening all.
Enjoying the night?
I am.Evening all.

Possibly the best post I have ever seen on Big Footy.
And a big reason for this sad situation, from what I can see, is the deterioration of humanities education at secondary and tertiary level these days, coupled with the fact that we have an educational environment now where the main objective is to get the qualification, get the piece of paper to guarantee future income, and the actual concept of learning, the prime purpose of education... isn't as much of a priority any more. This situation has to change.
Cheers mate. Much appreciated
And I would also add that this situation, with the utter bankruptcy of the major parties and the way in which so many people can be manipulated so easily, is a dire indictment on the state of our education system.
To reiterate my comments on another thread before around this place, the overall level of political discourse in this country is nowhere near what it used to be, one big reason being because there is now, in my opinion, a huge proportion of people in Australia who simply don't have the ability to critically analyse things for themselves.

Wa wa wa.
Have a cry sooky la la.
Possibly the best post I have ever seen on Big Footy. I am still s**t scared of the Coalition winning though . At least the Greens will have a massive balance of power in the Senate and neither major party will be able to rush their garbage through both houses of parliament.
In that case, welcome to BigFooty n00b.Possibly the best post I have ever seen on Big Footy.
