Not really, very hard and thin, overly sugary but with a bitter aftertaste.

Here's a cool little tool to make your own 'How to Vote' card for your electorate.

Here's one I prepared earlier for Ballarat.

Watching Lil Bill on the Project. Waleed went him on Adani and on some gas pipeline they have planned, using the simile of the coalition being behoved to certain interest groups (business) and compromising on climate change and Labor being in the same position with unions who want these projects built and also compromising.

Credit where it's due, I'm not a fan but he answered that really well and articulated a sensible transition plan from dependence on coal to renewable energy.

No bullshit or green rhetoric, it was a pragmatic and realistic approach.

Colour me impressed.

So couldn't decide the "what me laugh thread" "the WTF thread" but decided on this one!!

Pauline Hanson has scored a spectacular own goal after branding Senator Fraser Anning a racist before saying he was trying to be more like her just moments later.

Both the Magpies and Labor should both win fairly easy tomorrow, in my opnion.

My prediction for the House of Representatives:

Coalition = 66
Labor = 80
Greens = 1
Other = 4

The Senate is too difficult to predict in my opinion.

Combining all the polls since the election was called, these are the poll numbers on average:

Primary vote:
Coalition = 38.38
Labor = 35.89
Greens = 10.01
One Nation = 4.41
Other = 11.32

TPP:
Coalition = 48.62
Labor = 51.38

Gawd Jezza, your gunna get ulcers !

Voted a couple of days ago, forgot to postal vote, and they had a bloody sizzle and pamphlets people! They got the death stare! Like I’m going to change my mind while I’m in the queue

Most senate predictions I’ve seen are that Labor and the Greens will fall short of a majority and either the Centre Alliance or One Nation will hold the balance of power. I have no issues with Xenophon’s mob being in that position, but if it’s Hanson, god help us all.

If you believe the Polls, this could end up being close, if you believe the bookies, Sco Mo should have already contacted the removalist to get his stuff out of The Lodge.
