LIVE Federal Election Coverage 2016

[Azul]

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.

I voted 14 above the line.

Hopefully that doesn't exhaust.

 

[dumb]

i numbered all 116 boxes below the line, and spread the last three quarters of them out for good measure.

They said 6 above the line or at least 12 below the line at my polling place.

Missing the crucial words 'at least'.

Was it as least? Did not realise that.

Yes. You can number every box above or below the line.

 

[The Speaker]

Depends on which parties you voted for above the line.

Well done Tony Windsor, has banned News Limited from his headquarters.

I switched over to seven for a second
Abbott doing an interview with Allan jones saying how tough his daughters are doing having to pay rent and could be about to go under
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Do they pay per hour at the AEC?

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Missing the crucial words 'at least'.

Yeah I know but I didn't want to question her openly, they were very busy, long lines, only had 3 people checking the rolls and not enough voting booths. I figured close enough. My preference was going to stall at a major before by 6 so I didn't really care, plus I'd been waiting in line for at least 1/2 hour.

If only that could be expanded.

Annabel Crabb can monitor my poll whenever she wants

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Exit polls suggest 18% for Nick Xenophon party across SA. That sounds like a lot less than predicted.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

roughly what time should i switch it from footy to election results to catch the juicy
part.

I expect a fair bit of variation from seat to seat.

 

[The Speaker]

Morrison and Wong are generally disliked by people who disagree with them, but I have the feeling they will be good sports.

I hope it is bad enough for the Liberals for Morrison and Ulhman to crack the shits.

One ballot missed!!

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Annabel Crabb is crap. Guess she's there for the mum audience who watch cooking shows.

went to vote at 3pm..... place was bloody crowded.

Probably had to do with the need to number 1 - 6 for the senate clogging up the process

Think the long queues everywhere were people having to think of 6-12 in the Senate.

 

[The Speaker]

wow they really nailed that tipping of the ballot box

 

[Pessimistic]

Kroger on sky looks very grumpy and is declaring Daniel Andrews "gorn"

He might be if he, in the state libs could find someone half competent to run

 

[The Speaker]

One ballot missed!!

Antony spotted it!
