I can'r believe that. How can anyone think allowing puppy farms is a good idea FFS.

Your daughter comes cheap.

I think Mrs WPT will vote ALP.
Oldest likely Greens or ALP lower & greens upper
Youngest likely ALP / greens upper
Moi: ALP lower & Fiona Patten upper becuase she needs the primary votes as she could lose out to a party who might gain 3 and a half votes like the shooters, hunters and pig f*ckers party due to preference swapping.

I'm going Greens lower and toying between Greens, Reason and Socialists for upper. I'd vote Patten if I was in her district, but unsure about the candidate in my area. Will probably go 1. Victorian Socialists 2. Reason Party 3. Greens

I cant remember the name but at least 1 member either has a share or owns a puppy farm. there was also a prominent vet that was aligned with them that got fined for the conditions in her puppy factory. the oscar law site is very good, they do amazing work. When i struggled to find a suitable dog to adopt i contacted them and they gave me links to reputable breeders.

The Libs would like to put us all in puppy farms if they could. :P

I'm in a safe (with Green preferences) Labor seat so I 'll decide when I go into the booth whether to draw a big dick and balls on the sheet or vote Liberal or vote for a minor party with a catchy name.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Interesting that Matty and Danny had a debate on SKY, that must have been enthralling for the 100 viewers.

Bayswater seems to be becoming a safe Liberal seat.
https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/ElectoralBou ... ofile.html
Labor folk might want to ask themselves how a place full of factory workers ends up voting for the Tories.

My choices are Liberal, Labor, Greens or the Animal Justice Party.
So I'm guessing it's "four legs good, two legs bad" for me.

A vote for the Libs is a vote for people to die should the Liberals be elected. They have said they will close the safe injecting room in Richmond. Drug users have not died in Richmond to the significnt extent they did since the advent of the drug trial.

The number of Ambulances going to Richmond have dropped significantly meaning ambulances are more available for other urgent matters.

Vote liberas then you are voting for people to die in the first week should they be elected.
