Because I don't have anything better to do on June 19:

It might be worth it if she actually got sent to gaol, but unfortunately the ICAC isn't in the business of prosecuting corrupt politicians.

[Hank Azaria Chamberlain]

You and me both. I might try to work one of the polling booths to scoop a few hundred out of the whole thing (legally).

This will be fucking disaster for Labor, as Penrith was one of the very few, if not the only, seat where Labor actually gained votes. At least the Libs aren't going with Tricia fucking Hitchen again. Although it was well worth it to see the look of absolute disbelief on her face when she was interviewed and realised she couldn't do what basically every other Liberal candidate could do and take ground off the ALP.

[Emperor Fadeaway]

This is why you should never vote for an Italian.

Just got back from getting my name marked off the electoral roll. I thought the ALP's posters were hilarious- a picture of the Puppet with the slogan "A new direction for NSW". Since they were supposedly "Heading in the right direction" at the last election, where do they want us to believe they're going now?

[Hank Azaria Chamberlain]

I voted strategically, i want my ballot to be passed around and all my preferences to mean something.

I've never seen a bigger pile of uninspiring candidates since I lived in the Hasluck electorate. Even the traditional post-vote sausage sandwich was average.

Care to elaborate?

[Hank Azaria Chamberlain]

Well I didn't do it totally strategically, cause I voted Dems cause Jose Sanz was an excellent bartender at Panthers, but I made sure the Greens (that Suzie Wright must be 80 years old), ALP and Libs were the bottom 3 preferences. I wished to fill all the boxes.

[Circus Animal]

What do you mean by you want it passed around though? As in you tried to vote in ascending order from least popular to most popular?

I voted Dems cause Jose Sanz was an excellent bartender at Panthers,

The Democrats are still around?

[Hank Azaria Chamberlain]

As best to my predictions yeah, Although Dems will probably be no lower than 5th. I just wanted to make sure Dems got my vote.

This bit: "lying to the corruption watchdog''.  I'm shocked.  I'm really shocked.  Who would DO that?   

[Circus Animal]

I think you'll find that's a prerequisite for joining the Labor Party.

[Mez]

I think it's actually a prerequisite for being a politician - really, they're mostly just well-presented liars in suits.

They're only the pointy end of the people they represent.

[Emperor Fadeaway]

Lying is a pre-requisite for being an Italian, actually.

[Bookworm]

You're just jealous.
