UPDATE: The government has given the Country Fire Authority board until 5pm to accept the controversial deal with the firefighters' union — or face dismissal.

The ultimatum was delivered on Friday afternoon by Deputy Premier James Merlino, as he was announced as a replacement for former Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett.

I believe there's also a court injunction preventing them from meeting to accept the deal until Tuesday 4:30.

And its still stupid, because its not like the LNP doesnt have a plethora of other walking talking attack lines. Anyone with half a brain could come up with decent talking points to crush the LNP in the polls.

That's why the ALP is trying their best not to defeat any LNP members, they don't want to miss out on their attack lines

The more I think about it, the more I think that's actually their strategy. They're not pushing that hard in marginals, and seem more focussed on shoring up their current support base. I'm starting to think that some senior strategists have decided that a better long term strategy is to throw this election, let the LNP ruin the country both economically and socially, then come in and pick up the pieces. It destroys the Conservatives' stranglehold over the rhetoric of economic management and unites and mobilises the marginalised behind the ALP and Unions, at the low, low price of destroying the lives and livelihoods of millions of working class Australians and losing what little of the moral high ground the ALP still had.

if they actually believe this they're even dumber than I thought. The LNP will never blame anything other than the gigantic debt labor left them with and we don't have any journalists to contradict them.

Preference deals.

Looking at the HTVs for WA:

Liberal:
1 Lib
2 Nat
3 Aus Christians
4 Shootybangs
5 LDP
6 Family first

Aus Christians:
1 Aus Christians
2 Family First
3 RUA
5 Democratic Labour Party
6 ALA
7 Libs

Shootybangs
2 ALA
3 RUA
4 One Nat
5 Christian Dems
6 Libs

LDP
1 LDP
2 PUP (lol)
3 Nats
4 Sex/Hemp
5 Family First

Family First
1 FF
2 Shootybangs
3 Aus Christians
4 Democratic Labs
5 ALA
6 RUA

So the first 4 preferences on the Libs HTV are all sending preferences back.

The LDP and FF aren't preferencing the libs, but Lionhat and Bob "A Water Balloon Full of Piss" Day have voted with them on something like 85% of the legislation that's hit the senate.

There is a pretty complex preference exchange between then and all of the nazi/libertarian parties which should alarm the gently caress out of anyone seeking to vote for them.

anyone seeking to vote for them is too hosed in the head to be worried about their vote going to literal nazis/libertarians.

A virtual media blackout at the remote republic of Nauru is set to be temporarily broken, after tabloid television program A Current Affair announced it had gained exclusive access to the island's offshore detention centre.
In a statement on Friday, the Channel Nine program spruiked an episode to run on Monday night from "inside Nauru's detention centre", claiming the story would "stun Australia".
Foreign journalists must pay an $8000 visa fee to visit Nauru, which is not refunded if the application is rejected.
"We'll take you inside the Australian-run regional processing centre ... it marks the very first time that a television crew has been granted access to the controversial facility," the statement said.
"Our cameras will bring you exclusive footage on how asylum seekers and refugees are really living".

The other about how the brethren are big donors to the Liberal party.

Asked about it Malcolm Turnbull says:

Malcolm Turnbull says he has "no criticisms or complaints" to make of the controversial Exclusive Brethren and is happy for the extremist Christian sect to continue donating to the Liberal Party.

Lion Hat got 0.66 of a quota last time on first preferences, which would be more than enough to elect him in a DD even if everything else went against him.

It's generally too hard. You can look at who is up for re-election and make some broad guesses about trends, but picking who wins the 6th seat is impossible at a normal election. Throw in a DD reducing the quota and the new rules and you've got an even bigger mess.

Lionhat got 0.66 of a quota because he was in first spot and people thought they were voting Liberal

THAT Jewish community does. It's the foundation of the currently-sitting member's support base, and basically the only part of the electorate that likes him. He's been doing his best to paint the Greens as anti-Israel just to galvanize that section against us, and that part of the electorate's been by far the most difficult and painful to actually deal with in any way.

How to deal with meeting people that think we're anti-Israel is literally the only specific advice and instruction on a single detail I have been given during Greens volunteering. That's how difficult that part is.

to a lot of that particular community anything short of driving Palestine back into the sea is anti-Israel. A lot of hardcore zionist support in the south east.
