Negligent doesn't want to tell people who they're voting for because they know they should be ashamed.

To be fair, there are other, valid reasons for not wanting to give the answer, but this is the one behind this instance.

According to the certificate in IT I took classes for around the new year*, formatting a Word document and knowing the difference between hardware and software is certificate-worthy knowledge. These courses won't even be that, and they'll probably be primarily given to young people that can do it in their sleep anyway.

*It was meant to be a thirteen-week course, but I was knocking out two-three units in half a lesson and then going home before lunch. Never got the cert because they lost half my assessment pieces.

What are the chances that NXT will pick up lower house seats in SA? Is there any good polling?

I think it looks like they'll pick up at least another senate seat, maybe more plus a lower house seat? I don't have any links though sorry. I did just see on Facebook the site The Tallyroom just did something on his party, haven't read it yet but might be worth a Google.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-05/marco-bulmer-rizzi-immigration-letter-sent-to-deceased-man/7386210

quote:

A day before travelling from the UK to Greece to spread his dead husband's ashes, Marco Bulmer-Rizzi read an immigration department email sent to his deceased husband warning he was overstaying his visa in Australia.

Because South Australia does not recognise same-sex marriages from overseas, their marriage was not initially recorded on David's death certificate and Marco Bulmer–Rizzi was not recognised as next of kin.

South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill later intervened to remove the description of "never married".

However Mr Bulmer-Rizzi went on to describe the incident as "a personal attack on David, on our memories" and said "it was the most humiliating moment of my life".

Yesterday Mr Bulmer-Rizzi was traumatised again when he received an automatically redirected email which Australia's Department of Immigration and Border Protection had sent to his husband warning him he had overstayed his visa in Australia.

Its just lovely here this time of year.
Chris Bowen has written not one, but TWO books and one of them is a book profiling 12 Treasurers of Australia

I find this deeply amusing since he was Treasurer for less than 3 months and chances are never will be again.

It's a good book though, even the Australian has nice things to say about it

his other book is shite though, it suggests having primaries for seats like America does and how well that has turned out.

Thanks. It links to this Guardian article

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/may/05/nick-xenophon-brings-x-factor-to-election-results-in-south-australia

Looks like they have only a slim chance at the moment. If they can get up to 20% they may pick up lower house seats like Mayo.
