Voting in the Fisher by-election today, any green goons out and about handing out how to vote cards?

Fellow Fisher resident here. I'm voting Dan Wood (ind), Greens, other independent, ALP, dems (yes, they still exist apparently), and etc.

I've dived off the outer reefs twice in the last 3 years and the difference even to someone unfamiliar with the area is pretty profound.

I'm going to have to get my gf up there before it's all gone

And when it dies out, the glorious liberal party can drill the area for oil! Which will create jobs! Did I mention jobs?!

Woodyatt is getting slammed. What has (or hasn't) he done?

Well Fisher has always been a liberal seat. The libs always came second after Bob Such, and even he used to be a liberal party member.

With this amazing new law that's just passed the senate, I read an article that says all references to the refugee convention are removed from Australian law. Does that mean we're no longer a signatory?

Should I put my swastika armband on now?

Nuclear Spy posted:

Phoneposting but there was some recent slamming regarding some Nazi-inspired imagery in a music clip from a band he used to play in, not sure how much that contributed though.

1. he was just the drummer of the band, and had nothing to do with the video

2. It was a song preaching against war and violence (all war documentaries also feature nazi footage, it doesn't glorify it, and neither does the clip)

3. of course the media get their panties in a bunch because "LOL METAL/PUNK IS ABOUT VIOLENCE"

4. only family first would bitch and moan about one music clip

That depends a bit on your perspective. Given the crisis in the Education department and the massive ESL hike, for the ALP candidate to get a nearly 7% swing too them in a traditionally Liberal seat is, I'd argue most impressive.

It's impressive that the ALP candidate got that many votes, but at the end of the day, the candidate with the MOST votes wins. And if we judge it by the current swing- The libs will get it (not including the votes left to count or postal votes)

Does a really close final result not trigger an automatic recount?

The libs can grasp at straws and ask to have it recounted a dozen times, it won't change the results. The AEC took their sweet time to run through the votes. I'm sure the results are valid.

The longer this goes on, the more I think it's unrelated to any Islamic organisation and it's just a few amateurs with a flag. Usually a Islamic organisation would release a media statement claiming responsibility by now.

The News LTD papers will still try to spin it as ISIS MASTERMINDS ATTACKING TEAM AUSTRALIA! Then wave a bunch of Australian flags to make people happy, while the Government passes new security laws in the background.
