now Albo has Covid. probably blame Scomo for that too

LOL. Albo was swanning around Byron Bay (which Mr bucket can attest) last week.

The Unvax capital of Aus. Serves the silly bunt right.

A bit of a bumble-athon so far by both sides.

hardly inspiring to pick a candidate. donkey vote looking likely.

May as well; you’re going to get one anyway.

Pre-poll open today - lots of signs and people outside the voting booth around the corner from us.

I was reading today that only 50% of the votes will be cast on the actual Election Day - the rest will be pre-poll and postals.

by skully Mon 09 May 2022, 09:13

Yeah, ScoMo might be close to toast before it even gets to polling day.

lots of braying overnight, so Nath was on the money

so we could be waiting a while for the preferences? (unless it's one sided)

by lardbucket Mon 09 May 2022, 11:03

I reckon it'll be decided by 9 pm 21/05.

by skully Mon 09 May 2022, 12:16

Aye, L.

Being driven off to a pre poll in the next week.

Really hope Scumo goes down, but I cannot see it happening.

Pinkos will win because voters are stoopid

by Fred Nerk Tue 10 May 2022, 03:42

If Albo does win, it will be because they managed to convince a small fraction of the bored and apathetic that he might be slightly less of a boring, mediocre, mendacious little turd than the other bloke.

"Look how shit the other guy was/is/will be"

The campaign strategy of the Libs and the pinkos

They count pre-polls on the night. Postals are allowed to take up to 13 days to come in.

Terrible dilemma ... The Despicable or The Inept?

by beamer Mon 16 May 2022, 15:26

Sounds very much like our politics at the moment… crap government, uninspiring opposition, system that means anyone else is basically just a protest vote.

by lardbucket Mon 16 May 2022, 20:27

Thankfully the appalling election advertisements will soon stop. Through their own ads, the two major parties seem to be competing to see who can make me hold them in greater contempt, although so far both have narrowly failed to provide anything as nauseating as has the UAP. I hate them all.

by JGK Fri 20 May 2022, 06:56

Fark me, I can't believe that this election is going to be close.

by lardbucket Fri 20 May 2022, 10:50

It won’t be.

whoever wins/governs, we all lose. penguin
