I'm convinced that the newspapers can't afford any quality editing staff anymore. It's basically a university newspaper operation at this point

I'm terrified that being "wooed back to work" will involve lower income mothers choosing between working without benefit or eating their own young to survive and higher income mothers getting a taxpayer subsidised wet nurse.

Wet nurse for the dole?

New senate voting rules means it's Greens 1, Labor 2, LNP [this space intentionally left blank]

I would have thought that exhausting your vote wouldn't be the best solution.
Giving the last seat to the coalition is probably worse than one extra crazy in the senate

There'd be nothing binding about the plebiscite though.

Even a drooling moron like tony wouldn't ignore a 70%+ public vote, it'd be the kind of suicide that would be used in textbooks

I too enjoy undeclared donations in kind to a political party on the first day of a campaign.

Is there some kind of article or is this the tony Abbott "what do I do with this paper bag of cash" story from last week?

Didn't Di Natale say just yesterday that this wasn't happening?

this just reads like a stitch up - though if it does happen, I'll be amused.

The article says the greens will run open tickets. listen to his language, he certainly doesn't say there is no chance of a deal just no preferences to Libs.

How many people actually vote according to parties' how-to-vote cards? Do preferences really change much?

There is an Anthony green article somewhere about that. From memory it's worth around 5% of your vote at the booth but it's likely to be nullified by your opponents handing them out.

Does anyone know if the AEC has something on their website about where the polling booths are? We've had our boundaries changed again and I'd really rather not go to the wrong place, line up, and be told I'm actually out of area by 500 metres.

Border booths are meant to have both sets of papers.
The worst will be just do an absentee vote, filling out the envelope is easier than driving to a different school

Stadiums are pretty much always a boondoggle. The one in WA is like $1bn and the AFL aren't contributing gently caress all even though they will be the major beneficiary. It's not like between the AFL and the two local teams they couldn't have raised a big chunk of cash, interest rates are low and they are super profitable.

Nah, wiki says he's just flat out wrong

quote:

The 2013 South Australian Electricity Report noted that increases in prices were "largely driven by transmission and distribution network price increases".[35] In contrast, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has noted that the South Australian wholesale prices are lower than they have been since the start of the national electricity market, and that the wind “tends to depress the South Australian regional prices”.[36] The Government stated that the price increase due to the Carbon Tax was approximately half of that experienced by other States due to the high installed capacity of wind and gas-fired generation.[37]

There are two things you are voting for; House of Representatives and senate

HOR: this is your "local" representative and is voted for from you and your surrounding suburbs. Number all of the boxes from 1 (favourite) to however many there are (normally 4-7)

Senate: this is your state's representative, it's proportional and the counting is complicated . But this year it's simpler.

1: number above the line at least one box in order of preferences. Doing this lets the party choose the order they want their candidates to be considered.
2: number below the line, there is a minimum (I think 6) and you can order each parties candidates as you wish or even skip those you are not interested in.

Seems to me to just be the margin of error shifting around as some polls get more boomers and some polls get less.

Yeah, it's pretty sloppy not to mention the margin when it's within 2 points of the last poll
