The AEC didn't care why people were pre-polling either this election, which is a fairly substantial change to make given there was no publication of this. Did both parties know that they were going to allow pre-polling from anyone, or did just the Govt know? In effect it will probably make the full-on marketing aspects of the elections start earlier since so many people are voting earlier... yay. :/

The VEC didn't care at the last State election either, maybe they have finally woken up and realised its more sensible to allow people to vote when they want?
 
Wonder if it was rigged. Some of those seats had huge labor swings before the slow counting process began.
 
Yeah, it's a 2,000 votes lead. Even if all Animal Welfare votes went to the Greens, they'd still be short of Danby.
Whilst the Animal Welfare group ran in most electorate, can't remember seeing a single how to vote card, I think they got a bit of a protest vote, but would still expect maybe 75% to flow to Greens.

Flynn no longer in doubt, bringing the Coalition up to 75.

And then there were four. Cowan is looking more comfortable for Labor.

Cowan and Hindmarsh seem to be holding place, Capricornia seems to have gone Lib, while these aren't certainties, I'd say Herbert is the only serious question remaining for me.
 
Hey sherb, got my two in as well with Cowan just going to Labor.:)
Put a smile on my face too, Simpkin looks like getting his just desserts. Beaten by a Mussie too, that's up there with Portillo getting beaten by ****.
 
apparently 200(!) votes found for the greens which were in the Liberal pile. All over.
Green just seems to turn to blue after 3-4 hrs :p

Labor very nearly did not win Cowan. That should not have been the case. They were so obsessed with rubbing their upcoming victory in Simpkins face that they nearly gave it up through the candidate they chose.

Wonder whether Muslims have a word for 'karma'? Maybe I will just repeat - halal, halal, halal.

In all seriousness, I think she will be a good MP, spoke well on ABC24 yesterday.
 
The LNP send them out to their members apparently. And it's not "3 to 1 at least". We just posted the stats 3 posts above your's. They're getting "1.75 to 1" or "3.5 to 2" if you want to put it in those terms.

This has been corrected already. Look up.
You dont need to correct me i was overstating the numbers, labor could lose all of the in doubt seats and it will look like they havent gained as much fround as first thought, interesting tomes
 
AEC have the coalition listed at 76. Is there still a chance that they don't win a majority?
Very tiny chance, they have capriconia 0.4% lead with 85% vote countred.
 
People probably sending in their votes before Shortcake started the shitty Mediscare fear mongering.
If you believe that it isnt already happening than your just as gullible as the voters who believe turnbull. The coalition got caught out with medicare and didnt like it so threw the toys out of the cot pleading innocence. I dont buy it and so should alot of the electorate.
