Patio flooded, the rain was heavy for a while there. Cant help it I guess. Flooding not nearly as bad as in the past though.

 

[ioppolo]

Down my way it's constant, but not drastically heavy or biblically destructive.

 

[quotemokc]

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't isn't voting compulsory for this? How can there be a low turnout?

Low turnout expected for Perth, Fremantle by-elections
LOW voter turnout is expected for the Perth and Fremantle by-elections amid rock-bottom interest after the Liberals didn’t bother fielding candidates.

Because nobody knows about it. I knew nothing about it until yesterday when a voting thing showed up in the mail.

The fine is $20 I think so there would be lots of no care factor. I’m contemplating not voting in the Perth election as I’m so pissed off that Tim Hammond decided in his second term that being a politician impacted on his family. Hello.....that was evident at the end of the first term

 

[Beerfish]

Think it's $50 iirc.

Edit: Just checked and it's $20 for a first offence and $50 if you do it again.

Your house hasn't collapsed or imploded yet?

He did have a new baby in between, one that was not planned, I believe.

if there is a sausage sizzle at my booth, id still go. get my name ticked off, walk out with ballot, put sausage sizzle on ballot, eat sausage, and then wipe mouth with ballot and put into bin

 

[quotemokc]

I think its very important to vote if for no other reason than to put The Greens last.

I have a terrible feeling she is going to romp it home as Gorman doesn’t appear to be a popular choice

 

[Silent Alarm]

I think a lot of people still assume it's elective and not mandatory.

Cannot be ****ed whatsoever but eh I'll slink down. When's busiest?

 

[gaskin]

I went and voted at about 8:15 this morning and there were no lines. Walked straight in and straight out, grabbed a sausage sizzle, and was back in the car in less than 10 minutes. That was the quietest it has ever been when I have gone to vote.

 

[perthblue]

i thought u only voted if in a certain electorate

 

[Plugger35]

Is there an election on today? Better not be for the seat of Stirling as I won't be voting and will have to cop a fine.

 

[gaskin]

IIRC it is only Fremantle and South Perth who needed to vote today.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Ignorance up to 11 but wtf is the go with it? Some dual nationality thing? Why is it like six electorates in the whole country?

Completely dead at Fremantle Primary today. As in, doubt anyone else knew it was on. Sausages sizzles are a lame meme but surprised to see/smell there was no organic tofu hot dogs on offer.

 

[Billy ray]

Correct me if i am wrong, but my recollection of perth sausage sizzles (bunnings, elections, school fetes and fairs) is a sausage in a roll.
Over here in qld (and across border in tweed-cant talk of all nsw) its sausage on a slice of bread.

I voted and I still have no idea what it was all about.

Of the 5 by elections today, 4 of them are because the MPs were ineligible under the constitution due to being dual citizens when they were elected. The other one (perth) was due to Tim Hammond (labor MP) resigning due to not being able to balance the work with his family

no doubt really annoying etc but this was his first term as MP.

Gorman does appear to be gormless.
