Don't they recount multiple times while they are also counting? Like there's layers of counting involved and a court case/stone cold recount is only saved for specific cases and not necessarily close calls?

Like there's layers of counting involved and a court case/stone cold recount is only saved for specific cases and not necessarily close calls? A formal vote is defined as "we can tell who you wanted to vote for". And this is pretty broad, you can even do 1 2 2 3, or X 2 2 3 or even just X 2 BLANK - on your sheet and it's accepted. Even if you write the number next to the box then draw dirty things on the paper, it's still valid if it clearly indicates who you chose. However 1 2 X Tick, is an informal vote. You've tried to choose three people for first preferences. Or if you've ticked multiple boxes or done something like 2 2 3 4 - you haven't chosen who is first preference. In a recount anything informal might get double checked in case something was put aside for being initially too vague, but in most cases are tagged "exhausted" if they don't show a clear first preference. The Returning Officer is the one who declares the results and decides if a recount is needed. A recount can be called in a few ways. The Returning Officer can declare one if they feel fit that the results won't be conclusive or for instance if a scrutineer reported something odd that impacts the result. This can be triggered if the two candidates remaining end in a tie. In which the court of Disputed Returns rechecks any papers. Failing a clear outcome they call a new election. Or the unsuccessful candidate makes a request in writing within 72 hours. The Returning Officer will then decide whether this gets followed through. Or you can petition to have it examined by the court, but there has to be some sort of evidence to suggest a good cause to. I believe Federal elections rules can trigger an automatic recount if the margin is below 100 votes - there doesn't seem to be a case for this in SA elections, I suspect it's at the RO's discretion. Some people get confused and assume Australia runs by the "past the post" system (whoever gets the most first) but only Britain and the US uses this. The preferential system means that the votes boil down to two candidates until one has the majority of 50% or greater at final count based on the preferences from other candidates as they're eliminated. As for preference counting and the maths, A handy fact sheet here.

Does the Bolt report really pull more viewers then Insiders? The last time I remember Bolt making that claim it turned out he was adding together 2 screenings of his show against the Insiders single. Also, didn't the Ten executives get told to give him a show by Gina? Some praises.

Yes, they still add together the multiple viewings in order to get "more viewers than insiders". It's also on right before the news, so you get a lot of overflow viewing.

Only Sharri Markson believes that two screenings means one show outrates another. Also, Gina dropped out of Ten, and I don't think its in much of a position to produce anything at the moment. I think it's more than likely Bolt will have to go to Sky.

Alas, as long as you have rich liberal poo poo heads with money to burn and media that will accept money for broadcast (ie. always) you will have bolt or poo poo-heel equivalent. You can never make them go away but you can make them irrelevant. The real dream is bolt at 7:30 weeknights with the sole view being himself, re-watching and weeping at his own corporate sponsored irreverence.

dr_rat posted:Australian Government Solicitor also apparently makes a profit for the goverment, so cutting it is saving money becasue..... The Australian described having an IT governance committee as "bizarre" , and then goes on to describe how all these various govt departments IT operations will be merged and then outsourced. This government is amazingly incompetent. They go and fire all the ITIL type boffins then expect to have any expertise left in government to roll out a massive infotech operation across multiple departments. How the gently caress would that even work! Its an astonishingly incompetent government we have right now.

IslamoNazi posted:itshappening.gif I know someone who worked for Sinodinos for about a year before the election, and they say they left because they knew how dysfunctional the government would be and they couldn't be arsed working for such a lovely government. I actually believe them when they say that they had no clue how corrupt Sinodinos was, they just didn't want to work in such a toxic environment. This government tried to force Groupers and Tali and Wets and Dries into a mold together and impose some trickle down unity and they failed and they're dying and it's fabulous.

Was just about to post this exact thing. Markson got blasted over Twitter during the week for this error, so of course she's doubled down. Bolt would be a good fit for Sky, because as much as it tries to deny it, the channel is a right-wing wankfest. The only thing it has going for it is David Speers, and I'm baffled as to why he stays. Watch ABC 24 for breaking news, and watch Sky five minutes later for the same breaking news, once they've finished either a commercial break or an interview with a Coalition backbencher.

I thought the current consensus on Fairfax prints is that it's in lockstep with Murdoch's prints. Is The Age different? I haven't run into an issue, all of the newsagents I pass only carry The Australian, The Courier Mail and occasionally The Saturday Paper which I keep telling myself to buy an issue someday.

Fairfax papers are slightly to the left of the murdoch rags, which is to say they don't reprint Der Sturmer articles every day, just most days.

duck monster posted:Its an astonishingly incompetent government we have right now. You've left the punchline off. Outsourcing that work for 3x the cost to the same people. That's been the story of the public service for at least a decade as redundancies started being paid and became a torrent when idiots in the last couple of governments (labor and liberal) started to "downsize". It's a con of course and everyone knows it but it makes the books pretend the balance is better than it looks.

Are there any documents showing the increased cost of the government outsourcing call centres to Telstra? EDIT: Apparently people are complaining about dog breeder laws being introduced in Victoria, one comment in a comments section is saying the RSPCA have been given "nazi-like powers" Anidav fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Dec 14, 2014 |

So finally an FOI request to the US State Dept reveals what we knew to be true all along: David Hicks was used for political reasons because it was damaging Howards chance of reelection. And what a coincidence - Miranda Devine has put out a really shabby attack piece on Hicks this very day. Gotta keep their eyes away from inconvenient facts!

The Liberals are also whining to ECSA that the 800+ informal votes could hold the balance of power and want them to check them over again. It's up to the Returning Officer to decide whether that's the case. I suspect the vote will stand short of a smoking gun.
