I'm in mallee which has been held by the Nationals since forever so basically my vote won't count.
 
Sky Exit Poll says 62% believe LNP will win, 19% Labor, 19% uncommitted.

Looks bad on the surface as you wonder if it reflects the way they voted.

However 39% of Labor voters think LNP will win and 40% think Labor will win.

So using a roughly 50/50 TPP split, this seems to be just the conditioned caution of Labor voters causing that exit poll expectation.

72% said Health and Medicare were very important factors in deciding their vote. Not sure how to read this, except surely that is very good for Labor.
63% say Education Policy and Spending was very important in determining their vote. Again, surely that is in Labor's favour.
26% say Company Tax Cuts were very important. I guess this is relevant if it is a larger issue and those 26% are included in the above two issues.

Health and Medicare 72%
Education 63%
Budget and economy 51%.
Super Changes 37%
Negative Gearing 27%
Building Unions 27%
Company Tax Cuts 26%

We should make a drinking game out of the ABC coverage (and if you're not watching the ABC for election stuff you're doing it wrong imo)

I would say take a shot every time Antony Green has trouble with the touch-screen but we'd probably be smashed 20 minutes into the broadcast.
774 ABC has the Jon Fayne election party. Sounds worth a look.

Throw out all your remaining alcohol if Eden-Monaro loses its bellwether status.
I believe it will lose its bellweather status this evening.

I just hope that drug cheats that hold our society back for self gain are irradicated from our lives. Yes irradicated. Like weeds.
 
If it's a hung parliament it should be decided by mixed celebrity jelly wrestling, Piers Ackerman,and Rita Pahini, against David Marr, and Clem Ford, refereed by Laurie Oakes.
Or a ganja smoking contest with yourself to adjudicate:D
 
At the next election the AEC is really going to have to drill it into their staff that they need to tell people to vote for at least six above or twelve below in the Senate. I suspect there's going to be a lot of exhausted ballots this time around.
Was it as least? Did not realise that.
