Don't the liberals usually send a self addressed envelope to THEIR OFFICE rather than the AEC with the ones they send, for absolutely no reasons relating to electoral fraud whatsoever?

got one from Labor today. The postal vote application form is attached to a red coloured statement about when you need to vote etc, but with no party names or logos on it. It does have an 'Authorized by M Dixon WA Labor' statement on it.

Also on the actual half that has the application on it, it reads: As the security of the external systems cannot be assured, the AEC does not accept any liability for unauthorized interception of electronic communications associated with the use of this form.


So its 100% voter data harvesting.

I remember in the leadup to the state election the liberals attempting to downplay the baxter extension, seems like it was a lie to fund it.

And Greg Hunt said during vic election campaign that only the libs would extend to the line to baxter. lol.

So you're actually saying it does come down to wearing a suit. Of course, obviously, that's why we have totally trustworthy representatives like Peter Dutton who wears very well-fitting suits.

I guess I am, I forgot there were only two forms of clothing for men - suits and tie dye shirts. Not sure what this thing I'm wearing right now is, because it's neither. Perhaps it is a dress.

Way to misread a simple sentence. Steve Jobs managed to look respectable in a black turtleneck, Bob Brown frequently looked dis-respectable in a suit. Certain types of clothing send a message, but more than that, the fit of the clothing changes the message it portrays. A simple set of jeans and a Greens campaigning t-shirt would have been infinitely better than... whatever the hell those outfits were.

Purely looking at that horribly cropped image, it looks like the 19-20 Budget is allocating an additional $1.5 million to the project. Savings are usually indicated by brackets, from memory.

I just looked through Budget paper 2 and can’t find a mention of this project at all.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Just looks like they delayed $8.5m of funding to the next financial year (probably just delaying the start of construction and/or throwing in another feasibility study or options assessment before starting site works) but the total project federal funding contribution looks to actually go up by $4m??

Of course as has been said it's a shittily cropped table and the figures it's being compared to are in a totally different table layout so its a real lovely way to make a point.

Coalition candidates are being urged to endorse a conservative manifesto that includes selling the ABC, slashing the company tax rate and pulling out of the Paris agreement on climate change.

The Institute of Public Affairs is also calling on Liberals and Nationals to repeal the ban on offensive speech in the Racial Discrimination Act and scrap the Fair Work Act including its provisions on the minimum wage.

The 2014 budget pretty well cribbed from the IPA's 100 points bullshit.

Then the Coalition and IPA were shocked and surprised that the great unwashed hated it.

It's a long way to the finishing line though. I'm pretty interested in what happens around the time prepoll voting begins, coalition must be desperate to time that right and I'm just as desperate that they gently caress up spectacularly.

In the context of Australia and the federal government's capacity to make positive change, it's the largest single item yes.

Edit: But to be clear I'm not an idiot, and I understand that the only bar the ALP need to hit to win the election is to have a better policy than the Liberals, as Greens votes will almost certainly come back to them in marginal seats anyway.

I think this package is good. Also Australians are dwarves and we do basically nothing other than mining. It keeps us out of recession nearly every single time. Adani shouldn't happen but it's a wedge the ALP can politically afford to avoid because there isn't another major environmentally positive choice for most voters.

The issue is that it's not going to create a statistically significant amount of jobs, a fact that could easily be sold to the CFMEU. Most of the people who care significantly either way are against it, and already know that.

It's not going to draw in more punters at this point to oppose Adani federally. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think it's more prudent politically to run with what they have on balance.
