I really dislike the politics of superannuation because all the articles around it are like this, outlining the policies without spelling out how it actually affects people/who it even affects and then capitalising on the same misunderstanding with scare campaigns.. "The government is coming for your super"*#$^ * If you had disposable savings of over $500,000 during your lifetime to put into your super tax haven account rather than anything else in life like children or mortgages or nice cars or Nintendos or something # If you earn enough money from your super per annum to be taxed on your super earnings that means your super balance is sky high because you were already earning a poo poo load of money $ By the way you also know the super contributions we're all forced to have aren't even taxed in the first place, don't you? ^ Really, nobody is being affected or 'double taxed' by this except the extremely well-off who aren't going to loving vote for us for financial reasons anyway because the Libs have their number. Literally. They are probably on the high roller political donor list.

If he's known to the police box he probably makes a habit of it, and might not have anywhere else to be. Maybe they want some white coats to come get him? I don't know how many witness statements they'd need to make a case for that when he's white.

OF COURSE it's mental illness I mean what else could it be I can't tell whether you're upset that I unfairly characterised mental illness or racism but: what everyone else said. I don't even think that little police office is a proper station, they're probably working it on a rotation from the station down Flinders Lane, and they recognised him. Nobody needs to be there that often to be recognised (unless they work there), much less recognised as a serial racist pest. Even the goths/emos/subculture of choice don't really hang out at Flinders St Station anymore.

I don't feel like it's throwing the election, I feel like they're playing to the negative message and explicitly using coalition budget measures so the coalition can't criticise their choices. So they cherry picked from a rotten bunch to find something just reasonable enough to push a message of savings from middle-income welfare from FTB-A and HECS 2% from 50k is like a slow simmer towards the current 4% at 54k. Then for some reason I guess Newstart changes mean people under 25 can rot on the streets if they are unemployed?

I'd like to go through worthy minors in the senate ticket before hitting Labour and Coalition, and the hardest part is going to be knowing who to not number, or even if I should shove them below majors in some order to avoid fundies deciding an exhausted vote. Is there a guide I can look to before the election, or should I just go to Greens volunteers on election day? I've never actually taken a how to vote so I don't know if they even cover the senate. I'm in VIC.

It may as well have spat out which Friends character I was, except people usually actually know what the characterisations of the Friends were.

This could be good. Election 2016: Victorian dairy farmers in safe Liberal seat say they will take their anger to the ballot box quote:Alex Robertson, who represents the advocacy group Farmer Power, said the feeling among dairy farmers was that if the Coalition and Labor were not going to listen to them, "we're not going to vote for them." I don't expect a revolution of Greens votes or even a swing big enough for a safe rural seat to switch hands, but there seems to be a lot of articles talking up the discontent with the big two.

Yeah. I assume it was a politically strategic move, as 1 less liberal seat is 1 less liberal towards house majority, but I've got little sympathy they're getting poo poo for it. Last and Second Last is all well and good but it's Fred loving Nile.

Antony Green is running a guide on senate HTV tickets from submissions he receives from the parties. http://www.abc.net.au/news/federal-election-2016/guide/snsw/htv/ I'm confusing myself about whether I should keep numbering after 6, to outline bad to worse, because if 50% of votes (for example) exhaust after 6 preferences there could be weird poo poo with quota's unable to be passed on to further preferences. Antony Green's blog suggests: quote:The new electoral system is likely to give the final seats to the parties with the highest partial quotas at the start of the count, which is why the above table is a useful guide. But I'm still a bit fuzzy on whether that will be a good or bad thing.

Yeah, the Liberal HTVs in particular are going to make that unavoidable, but I am hoping that we are largely secular enough that even the average Liberal voter will see "Family First... Christian whaaaat ?" and make their own order.

Possibly. But I do think Family First has a lot more media recognition for their Christian roots than that. Also there are plenty of people, especially in financially conservative Liberal voting industries like IT and Engineering, who make a point of knowing which religious groups and businesses to boycott.

Yeah IMO the overall vote is second place to how many house of reps seats they are either taking or putting serious pressure on. The more this continues the more validation there is for ending the 2PP reporting model, which in turn impacts their viability because nobody votes for the greens because the greens can't form government because ....

Right now I am picturing that part of the Facebook debate where Joe Hildebrand asked Shorten if he really thought Australians would be so bad during a SSM plebiscite, then video of that guy saying death to traitors freedom for Britain a few times, then a really poor pixelated zoom in on a still shot of Hildebrand at the debate while horns.wav plays. I cbf making the video.

They are still child torturers and concentration camp guards and I'm not changing my primary vote from Greens but I am impressed with the Labour campaign and policies and would/will be very happy at them forming government. Fingers crossed they make it out of this launch without mentioning THE BOATS and ruining the otherwise solid message.

I guess most journalists earn more than I thought. My partner was saying this morning that he wished ABC News 24 had less politics in the morning and more general news. I said it's an election so of course that's all they're doing because they don't have to think of anything to say - they can just play clips of what everyone else is saying. "Oh, so it's like Australia's Funniest Home Videos for journalists then"
