I have always thought PACER is a good programme, although I find the requirement to visit the War Memorial a bit unnecessary.

I'm glad you didn't highlight unemployed loser. Your airtasker gigs mean you're technically not unemployed

So you are not in favour of Free Speech, I thought you said you were in favour of it?
Have you got anything to say about the actual questions?

Was it too subtle for you?
Ideally there is no need for them but we do not live in ideal world. Hardly democratic if you done away with it and made it illegal. Such a waste of paper though.
I’ve been one that advocates scrapping htv cards, Kevin Bonham raised an interesting point that I haven’t considered, htv cards are away of managing the informal vote among those with low literacy
I was just interested because in my experience a long time ago, those that were handing cards out for the Liberal Party were paid but that was in the North Western Suburbs of Adelaide and that's Labor territory.
Apparently it's still the same but I wondered if in the more evenly balanced areas as well as in the Liberal seats if that was the case.
I hope the weather and the outcome is great.
Ah, that's interesting. As a "grown up", the War Memorial blew me right away. It's an incredible sight and I found it really sobering.

Voted the other day, gladly took a card from each of those there, LNP, Labor and Greens. Once inside they all went neatly into the tub they had for recycling them.
They remind me of those middle aged people that wear the sleevless team jumpers at the footy or who are members of the cheer squad.

Apparently for the electorate I'm working tomorrow roughly 80% of people vote in line with what a HTV card suggests (across all parties)

Not surprising - in your meat and potatoes electorate with a LIB, ALP, GRN, UAT/PHON most voters exact vote order could probably be worked out based on who they preference first. The only thing is where any random independents get thrown in

Voted just then, did get one muppet practically run after us. "Umm, thanks, but no thanks"
How to vote card pushes were not very annoying this morning. Although I got there with candidates more prevalent trying to talk to me in line than how to vote card people. Even they were not annoying. Good day when voting in line ain't a real annoying wait.

You lined up with candidates?
No. They were hanging around at line trying to get my interest. Green's candidate, said I can see you already organised so I won't bother you...lol
I actually appreciate not wasting my time. Good bloke even if not getting my vote...lol
They are well meaning people so be polite and a quiet ‘good luck’ to your preferred party.

My neighbour was running one year and asked me to help by handing out for an election day one year.
I was like 15 or something.
It was s**t and he didn't even thank me after.
**** that guy.

In Aotearoa we obviously don't have the whole fiasco of volunteers at polling booths telling people how to vote (indeed no party political material of any kind is allowed)...
What we do have is the phenomenon of well-meaning volunteers ringing people randomly asking them if they require a lift to the booth.

15? The least he could have done was given you a James Charles box set or whatever 15yos were into at that time.
We were taught a little as well, a long, long time ago. It got the teacher into a little trouble I believe, as the state government of the day didn't want shenanigans like informed voters growing up.
