Such messaging will go over better in QLD.

What about the part where Hanson suggested QLD give some of their GST share to WA for the hell of it?

Enlighten me Auspol, but should Liberal candidate Julian Jacobs have been handing out How-To-Votes in the electorate he's contesting?

The South Australian Government is in discussions with Tesla and Atlassian regarding billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk's offer to fix the state's electricity woes with battery storage, a spokesman for the Premier has confirmed.

Though Horton was reluctant at first, she eventually agreed. They ponied up all the cash they could muster for a $US42,000 two-unit condo, allowing Horton to rake in even more funds to put toward her loans.

The strategy worked so well that the couple ended up purchasing another $US55,000 unit shortly thereafter.

HMMMMMMMMM

The ABC posted:

A preference deal struck with the Liberal Party head of the West Australian election has ended up hurting One Nation, the party's leader Pauline Hanson says.

Ms Hanson joined One Nation supporters at a polling booth in Baldivis in Perth's southern suburbs on election day, handing out how-to-vote cards to voters.

Earlier, a Newspoll published in The Australian newspaper showed a marked drop in support for One Nation, which peaked at 13 per cent at the start of February but dropped to 8 per cent in the wake of the preference deal with the Liberals and ongoing problems with candidates.

The Liberals agreed to preference One Nation ahead of the Nationals in Upper House regional areas in the state, in return for One Nation preferencing the Liberals over Labor in all Lower House seats it contested.

Today Ms Hanson conceded the deal had not helped her party.

"It's been the biggest topic, people ask me about preferences and they don't understand the voting system, the preference system, the preferences. I'd like it to be introduced into the educational system.

"I think that's where most of the damage has come from."

Paingod556: Nov 8, 2011; Not a problem, sir

So the WA senate ballot was using the old system, meaning I done went through 58 people to make sure the Tories, Christians and Anti Fluoride ( :wtc:

) parties were dead last

I assume the concensus was the new system used last year was vastly superior. Why didn't we get it for our state election?

Each state runs it's own election. For an example, the VEC runs the Victorian state election. Federal elections are run by the AEC.

LOL Hanson is already crying about her party being shafted by the Liberals in WA.

Just for a break from WA hilarity, here's a good Well May We Say about housing (show note links and download), worth a listen because some of the tricks of the rotten land trade are still being ignored even with a well-meaning Victorian government.
