What's the reason for increased prepolling? Just eagerness? Or is it a result of record high enrolments?

What's the go with Group Z and the Australian Workers Party? Group Z I can't find anything about them (because I haven't looked very hard) and AWP seems to have a lot of good policies, what are they hiding?

I've heard the AWP is a bunch of the ALP-Left fed up with the slide into neo-liberalism that split off, for whatever that's worth.

For Victoria:

One of the Group Z people is some random guy I went to uni with. Here's his website: http://www.robertwhitehill.net/About.html

He was nice enough but spent most of his time in lectures looking at google maps and watching poo poo on youtube. This quote is appropriate:

Robert even represented Australia in the Pokémon Video Game World Championships in San Francisco in 2016.

According to wiki they have embraced the cool aid of Modern Monetary Theory.

Anidav posted:

Chinese social media has lit up with outrage after Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the United States as a "friend" while referring to China as a "customer".

I guess we're at the stage where we can't really be outspoken about China during an election year out of fear of hurting the feelings of Chinese Australains. Hopefully their offspring won't be as nationalistic.

But yeah more fool anyone that went in not expecting anything other than horse poo poo.

Apparently HBO said to d&d that they didn't want them to compromise the ending and would be willing to fund more episodes if needed, even another season or two. and they said no, they're happy with how they'll end it.

Nope. To your last point though, I flip between the two major parties - probably to everyone’s disgust. It’s a decision made well in advance so a campaign is just a count down to Green day for me.
