Anyone know if there's going to be a below the line ballot generator tool around this year?

Or has it basically been rendered obsolete by above the line preferential voting?

It's been said recently but it bears repeating: Voting liberal so that the ALP don't get blamed for the next recession is the most Van Badham level white middle class take. Never mind all the unemployed and disabled people who will probably loving die as a result, or the impact another 3 years of inaction may have on the climate.

This may sound like a 2015 cliche, but PLEASE check your goddamn loving privilege.

yeah exactly. any recession would be blamed on alp policy pre-election (caused uncertainty) or from their last term in government, or the idea they might get in the term after. it's scomos all the way down.

Accelerationism exists to give liberals and dilettante progressives an excuse to vote for the side they thinks is actually going to win, so they can pretend they Made A Difference

You all need to relax, it's a thought experiment and nobody (in the thread, or probably reading Keens article) is actually going to do it.

And it isn't accelerationism, the goal isn't to accelerate anything.

Anyways, in other news Dutton has sold his place in Canberra.

The LNP would still blame Labor for the recession due to something they did a decade ago.

More Bendigo capers, Julie Hoskins is an undischarged bankrupt and the AEC can't stop her being on the ballot despite the breach of s44. Her winning anything is laughable but until the election's done she's in the same position as Rod Culleton.


The kicker is that Hoskins is bankrupted partly by her own lawyer who stole most of the money he was supposed to be holding for the anti-mosque group (because no bank would give them an a/c, think about that!), so she's still on the hook for it and he gets away scot free. No honour among thieves etc.

i like how Hoskins effectively hired Lionel Hutz and it ended up exactly like a Simpsons episode

By the way, when is the apparent huge ALP warchest meant to appear? Up here in Queensland every TV ad and Billboard is Palmer. Where is the ALP breathing room?

Ads so far:

Palmer:
18 ads in total, all on TV too lazy to link them all

-

25 ads so far on LNP + PUP vs 2 ALP.

Feels like they're getting drowned out currently? I can't even keep track of if the Unions have launched ads because a lot of them don't even maintain a youtube channel anymore.

Maybe they’re holding out for the last week of the election?

Also, I saw in The Hun (I don’t buy it, it gets delivered to work) today that Palmer had listed all of his candidates with their phone numbers as well. I’m sure that’ll go well.

Scomo will end up controlling both the lower and upper houses.

Shorten gets dumped and is replaced with Chris Bowen, seeing the alp drop industrial relations as a key platform as they slide back to the right.

The ALP having a huge Union warchest is just another angle cooked up by the right-media to make the Libs look like underdogs when they're actually over-valued with shitloads of money behind them

I dunno I'm pretty sure the LNP was meant to be running out of money and the donors are backing the winner therefore I expected more than 2 ads lol
