Gridlocked posted:I don't normally post in AusPol but the election seems like a fun time to do so. "I don't want people teaching my daughter how to use dildos and have anal sex when she is 8" how the gently caress can anyone think this is what the Australian government is teaching children  I've kind of wondered why there was such furore over Safe Schools. But no loving wonder if this is the sort of insane bullshit Family First and their friends are pushing onto people.

Just drove to the consulate general in Chicago to vote. No democracy sausages to be found. Had to settle for some mediocre beer

Hostage Katrina Dawson sustained at least seven gunshot wounds when police stormed Sydney’s Lindt cafe. The inquest into the siege has heard details of the injuries sustained by Dawson, including that a total of 55 grains of bullet fragment were removed from her body. What the gently caress

Do candidates ever advertise using their first name? I'm asking because my local candidate has the last name Dick and I never thought about it before.

Looks like Austudy payments are dropping by about $40 (inc rent assistance) in the new financial year. I guess newstart and all the others will be getting cut as well.

There's a lot of Zed signs around Canberra. Kevin07 was a thing, too. Speaking of which, most of the signs are Liberal Democrats or RUA, and there are a *lot* of them, with probably the Sex Party and Liberals after that. I can't see a result ofhter than the incumbents getting elected - are the little parties just trying to get their votes high enough for some of that sweet sweet electoral funding? Presumably signs don't work that well, but i guess they're cheap. Resident Idiot fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Jun 28, 2016 |

The Australian have a lovely story today about how Tony Windsor was apparently a bully at high school according to 4 people. Because I guess the actions of someone nearly 50 years ago are relevant now?

Take it as a sign that you shouldn't ever come back, because there is no way back from posting that. It's part of our plan for headjobs* and guillotines. *No not those sort of headjobs.

I'm hoping for some seriously polling fuckup on July 2nd. They predicted Brexit wrong so maybe the polls (most likely) have no idea what the gently caress to do with Xenophon Preferences or people saying they'll vote NXT in an area without an NXT candidate. You also have all those Palmer Voters who will probably go for Katter or disperse all over the spectrum

Maybe they're too busy being realtradies or something. Who knows. It's just that the liberal Campaign has been so uneventful and boring and will probably lie about not touching medicare. And yet still win based on polling. It's kind of baffling but I'm not sure if the Coalition PV is over-represented or not.

Im thinking Labor will do OK, Turnbull will get in but will fail at having a majority at the joint sitting due to the Senate being quite hostile. Cue three years of abject hell for Turnbull and a loss at the next election for the Libs. Bonus points if the Budgie Smuggler King returns to claim his throne.

If the ALP don't immediately toss Bill and he is around as opposition leader for the full time I think they will steamroll the next election

People are disappointed with Turnbull but the less-informed voters don't have any particular animus against him or Morrison personally (despite continuing utterly wasteful and damaging LNP policies). Howard was partially right the other day when he spoke about not detecting anger in the electorate - it is there, but it's not widespread in the way the anti-Abbott sentiment was.

Most of the aggregators had Remain and Leave fairly close in the mid 40s (with Remain slightly ahead) but with a large (typically ~10%) group of undecideds. Betting markets got it completely wrong.

That would just give people more time to be fascists. A government that doesn't sell its electors out at every opportunity would be a good start.

Did anyone watch Media Watch last night? They started off with the FakeTradie stuff (I get the feeling Paul Barry hates the "twitterati" just as much as Bolt sometimes) but the second story was the Herald Sun straight up making poo poo up to slur muslims:Media Watch posted:The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet has denied claims made by the Herald Sun and Daily Mail, that special crockery was requested for a Ramadan dinner. They've straight up lied about what the Prime Minister's office said, and there's been no follow up. Surely this is a bigger story than that fake tradie malarkey?
