My election day...
* Half hour queues
* Having wasted paper shoved in your face when you know what you are voting on
* Sausage sizzle, cake stall and coffee truck strategically placed along said queue with no money
* Not enough voting booths and another wait
* 3 people in their 70s trying to find your name, asking for your address again when your wife just got ticked off
* Interminable time to sign and handover both ballots (I did that very job at the same booth in Kevin 07 and no it just gets done cos it always has and is informal if it isn't)
* The struggle to get to the end of the Senate paper to vote for the Sex Party AND now having to number another 5 boxes
* Hitting another sausage sizzle as you leave the hall.
Please, please, please why don't we spend the dosh for online voting?
Our internet couldn't handle it.Quote:

So I had to do it early.
Located the place via the internet and it was an unused building in the Industrial estate on Hillsborough Rd
Went out and done the deed on a Monday
Rocked up. Parked 3 metres from the door.
Walked in there was one other person voting. Got the name ticked off and done the deed and was out the ****ing door and on my way within 3 mins
No ****ing around at schools or what not and parking 3 blocks away after driving around for 10 mins unable to find a ****ing park
The parasites handing out the how to vote shit are less keen
Since that day I make a point of voting early
I just tell them some Bullshit
Like I working
Like I going overseas
Or some other useful excuse
They don't check up on you
This election i voted a week and a bit before. Was getting blood taken at a pathology joint at Charleston Square
Spotted the ****ers across the road. Blood taken and straight over and done.
This was just opportunistic this time
Do what I did... go interstate. The booth in Hunter Street was basically empty. Same experience as the member. Parked out front, straight in and straight out.
Definitely doing that or pre voting in future.
I early voted Wednesday last week after work at around 4pm. There were a fair few people, more than I expected, doing similar. There were two 70+ elderly couples doing it then too. One of the elderly ladies complained about how busy it was and that she pre-votes to avoid this "hussle & bussle" on the actual election day. The other oldies agreed and frowned at all of us. I then told said lady that she probably should vote during work hours because she probably wasn't doing anything then anyway, where the rest of us in the place all had work uniforms on. Lady was shocked, appalled, said something about "young chaps these days" and I'll probably never see her again, because I hope I actually gave her a pretty good life tip.
the more I listen to them the more I'm convinced that One Nation/Xenophon and Hinch in the senate will be a good thing for the country.
There is a good chance they will vote legislation on its merits and do it in the best interest of the country.
Well I read up on prepolling and it looks like the secret is out - the AEC won't check your excuse and are actually happy for more people to use the flexibility. In fact - 2.5 million voters went prepoll this time, which is why it is of such interest in a close election.
A prepoll in Qld says it sold over 700 sausage sangas at PREPOLL ! So it looks like more will be using it from now on and it won't be as quiet.
dear god the state of some of the gronks telling us they don't want to be oppressed or ridiculed for voting one nation.
same with hanson herself. stand by your hot takes, no matter how wrong they are.
Oh man if you want a laugh and to get a better understanding of her appeal/ridicule go read her policy on both marriage equality and Islam.Quote:

i do giggle at Lib voters looking down their noses at Hanson yet just let Corey Bernardi sit over there spitting hot fire out his ass.
It's ok - Corey is launching his own RWNJ movement because the Libs aren't quite conservative enough for him. But he "isn't quitting the party".
Will be much like the Republican/Tea Party schism over in US except with less NRA.
Wilkie and mcgowan have agreed to support libs on supply and confidence.
Also, Americans and guns. :sigh:
nah man.Quote:
