For goodness sake people, if you get one of those forms with a reply paid envelope, but the blank form in it (so as not to give the game away) and then fill it with glitter, or some kind of white powder if you are feeling really adventurous.

Are there any videos or streams available to watch last nights debate? I've tried the Google with no success and I'm eagerly awaiting being able to watch it.

Inside, it had the energy of a nursing home. Many of the mostly grey-haired patrons looked rather bemused by the invasion of journalists and other political hangers on. "I am here to win a raffle," Joe Turner, an RSL regular and retired Pitt Town police officer, said when asked why he had come to the debate.

There was a lady asking an asinine question and waffled on for what seemed like forever. Not only did the moderator not cut her off, he gave the mic back to her to let her waffle on some more.

Malcolm looked very sweaty. I notice SMH claimed no clear winner although those present and even the Daily Telegraph called it for Shorten. Has anyone got that copy of Abbott's contract mailout? "Please keep this contract so you can hold us to account."

I still couldn't get over the fact that neither of them actually gave her a real answer, as in, "no this is dumb and will only raise house prices ".

starkebn posted:bold this part That was the debate in a nutshell. Turnbull saying tax cuts are good for jobs and growth, asset sales where it makes sense, and getting the best value for your dollar in health/education/etc. Shorten said the opposite, we should tax businesses, keep our assets and spend more on health/education/etc, and people ate it up. He pretty much hoisted Turnbull by his own ideological petard, because people are sick of letting banks and big businesses get away with murder and government services being perpetually underfunded.

Her reasoning is valid though. The money spent on interest over ~25 years of mortgage repayments is less than the equivalent would earn in a super account. It's still a terrible, terrible idea though.

Casino Mike not too popular: Council merger fallout widens for Baird and Turnbull as administrators questioned http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/council-merger-fallout-widens-for-baird-and-turnbull-as-administrators-questioned-20160513-goutzb.html quote:The Baird government's council amalgamation agenda threatens to disrupt Malcolm Turnbull's re-election campaign in key marginal seats in NSW as more councils face the axe in the next seven weeks and as federal politicians distance themselves from the scheme. The mass sacking of councils also posed a public relations threat to the Baird government's development plans in Sydney, many of which were predicated on the involvement of councils that would now be without elected officials for the next 15 months.

Baird installed hand picked councillors for 18 months just in time for the unpopular Westconnex bullshit to be waved through. It's disgraceful.

As much as I would love to cheer on Bill. The only people who watch debates are those who have already made up their mind. The average voter is Gary the Ute Beaut who only pays attention to the newspaper while he's on his break at a BP or Burger King.

It deeply bothers me that our governments are decided by swinging voters in swinging seats, i.e. idiots who can't decide which basic political ideology they want to get behind and vote based entirely on personalities.

I got one from both LNP and ALP in the past week, and got one from the LNP for the local election earlier in the year. The thought of putting a power in the envelope crossed my mind but I'd rather limit the reasons to be suspected of terrorism.
