Some goons overreact. Go figure.
I haven't posted before because this thread moves so quickly that I just lurk, but for me it's

MARSDEN, Jonathon The Greens
WATTS, Tim Australian Labor Party
WILLIS, Ben Liberal
TRAN, David Independent

It'll go to Tim. Which is a nicer result what than my original electorate of Curtin will get (what's with how many of us there are?) Only other thing I have to add is that I just got my first ever real (i.e. non-retail or waitressing) job as an electoral officer for a great MP and it's pretty exciting.

Australian progressives sound pretty cool, Alex Bhathal is definitely ahead on posters in our part of the electorate, it extends a fair way out though

There was a post a couple of pages ago asking about a chaplain NXT candidate in Brisbane (city not electorate).

NXT in Brisbane are mother loving Presbyterians. Anti marriage equality, anti abortion, "balance" in IR laws, rape culture. FF for the bourgeoisie.

The top story on SMH's website by their Chief Political Reporter is that the Labor candidate for Lindsay had a status saying that all politicians "lie, steal and cheat" and that she deleted a photo of herself posing with an inflatable condom 6 years ago. Just absolutely gripping stuff.

I hate this loving election and want it to stop.

1 MARTIN, Scott Australian Labor Party
2 RAMSEY, Rowan Liberal
3 GOURLAY, Phillip Independent
4 KAMINSKI, Cheryl Family First
5 MARSH, Jillian Kay The Greens
6 BROADFOOT, Andrea Nick Xenophon Team

The independent guy seems like an old guy with big ideas. He wants to up defense spending but is also pro marriage equality. I'm going to stick Family First last, really not sure what order I'd put Mr Gourlay and NXT in. No socialist senate candidates in SA this year?

This bit was promising "has promised to fight for...tax cuts for indigenous businesses."

This bit was not "I've cured about six or seven people from level one and two cancer by using minerals and proteins," Mr Ali told AAP on Friday.

"The thing that causes cancer ... is the chemicals added in cigarettes and food, so you need proteins and minerals to alkalise the body."

Back to deciding which hateful fascists deserve the last spot.

Rob DE JONGE - Independent Leading the Community

de Jonge lives in Darlington and has degrees in Mathematics/Science, Education, Real Estate and Building. He served eight years as a Councillor on the City of Onkaparinga and was defeated at the recent local government elections. de Jonge has owned a Real Estate Business for 7 years and was previously a mathematics teacher for 11 years. He was also an Independent candidate for the neighbouring seat of Davenport at the 2010 state election where he polled 2.8%.

He's a real estate agent

By that logic, what point was there at all to talk about candidates since everyone could have just gone and looked at the website. The order on the ballot is important because of how many people donkey vote. If people actually want to tell strangers on the internet how they vote (which many don't), people have been saying it elsewhere in their posts.
