Hawke dying would've had an impact, I'd say Labor in a canter but with a bare majority. Senate is anyone's guess, but I'm hoping Bernardi's mob and the LDP get a seat. Hanson with the balance is hugely preferable to the Greens; you want a mob to counter the Government's worst tendencies not give them worse ones.

I understand the LDP love, wokko, but you don't strike me as the kind of bloke who wants religious nutters telling us how to live.

There's some things about them I'm not a fan of, to be honest none of the parties strike every chord with me. They do hold many libertarian values though, especially small government and individual liberty. I also have a place in my heart for Christian morality, despite not being one myself. I think our society has degraded significantly, particularly families, due to moral relativism.

Something I like about the preferential Senate voting system, I can give my vote to all of the libertarians, nationalists and conservatives and then stop there :lol:

Handed out how-to-vote cards for the Greens at Black Rock primary this morning. Freezing! Can’t wait to get my sausage and go vote myself. :mrgreen:

Grabbing your sausage in a primary school sounds like an arrestable offence.

Thankfully I'll be voting at a high school.

I voted Thursday but went down to the Primary school this morning, just to grab a sausage.

Sounds like some United Australia Party supporter in Sydney was showing his sausage to all and sundry.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.
