Is there a single headline on that page that isn't oozing right wing?

Nup and there never will be, it's Rupert's 'flagship' for the right wing noise machine. A man who swapped his citizenship in the interest of
corporate governance. On another topic I see that Reg Grundy died in Bermuda. Oh well at least he can have a tax free burial there.
oops standby for our Reg to be flown home for a burial in his 'beloved' Australia. Turnbull the lipstick on the pig.
Sorry I'm ranting I could go on but I think you know where I'm coming from.

Well yeah, exactly, thats what I was saying. Why wouldn't a Lib loving newspaper be keen on pointing out disorganisation/conflict on the left?

You first said - Greens vs ALP with a unified conservative ticket opposing them puts Libs in the box seat. I should have responded that wont work in Albo's seat of Grayndler. There is noway one wont get in the top 2 and then the other give the overwhelming majority of their preferences to the Liberals. It is a strong left of centre seat as the 2013 elections results shows, the 2 Party Preferred vote is 70/30 Labor's way over Liberal, and if Albo lost 10% of his votes in the seat to a Green's Candidate it would be Labor v Green looking to see who the Liberal voters gave their second preference to to determine the winner.

My god I hate the preferential voting system, people have a right to know exactly who they are voting for on face value.

Our electorate Balmain/Birchgrove/Rozelle/Lilyfield etc was a Labor/Greens exacta at the last election and I think was the only seat in the country/state to do so. Lefties galore around here. Albo is actively campaigning for Labor voters to put the Greens last i.e. preference Libs and everyone else over the Greens this time.

Or am I thinking of the last state election????

Last state election when Verity Firth who lost in 2011 to Parker of the Greens ran again in 2015 but lost again on both first and second preference. I looked up the preference distribution and notice NSW have optional preferential voting. Last state election I voted on in Sydney was 2007 and can't remember that being around back then.

In 2011 there was bugger all difference between Liberal, Greens and Labor - in that order but Firth's preference got Parker over the line comfortably. Well there was optional preferential voting in 2011 it seems.

How did Cruz get 9% of the West Virginia votes? I thought he pulled out?

My god I hate the preferential voting system, people have a right to know exactly who they are voting for on face value.

I think the Optional Preferential voting available in some states is the best of the bunch. You have to vote for someone, but removes having to vote for one of the major parties (or anyone else) that you really don't want as the supposed 'least worst option'.

Will it be a happy ending for Albo? Aye, there's the rub...

Lol the government sends back boats with fefugees but keeps boats here with know terrorists on them.

I hope that article that says "They were worried for the safety of the men on the boat" is code for "We didn't want them to get away so that we can waterboard them and nab their accomplices"

Haha, I think it's been like this for a couple of years and in proper dictionaries too.

Language should evolve, but carn.
