One Nation has its foibles - and they are legion - but at least they don't fill my SMS inbox with their political spam.

The message has been forwarded to ACMA. Aren't there rules about political advertising this late in the piece?


Might as well use your dick instead of a key to unlock your front door, same result.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Just voted. 3 of the pencils broken and the other had just enough lead to scrawl a couple of dick pics.
On the way I had to run the gauntlet of the party spruikers with the how to vote cards. Most were pretty good when I relied No but the Labor one harassed me all the way to the front door and wouldn’t take no for an answer even after telling her I wasn’t from her electorate. She was a sitting MP

I voted last night after work, full host of card pushers swarmed on me.

Gave them a "nope" and kept walking, they were all pretty respectful.
my yes be yes, my no be no

The problem tomorrow is going to be the number of 3-4 way contests where the issue is not going to be who wins but who actually gets to the final two and therefore how preferences are distributed.
There is every likelihood that you could end up with four candidates in some country seats all sitting in the 20-25% 1st preference range and therefore who gets knocked off* and their preferences are distributed could see some interesting results.

But yeah Booney's call wont surprise me but I'm somehow hoping the Libs can avoid a total disaster as we can get some semblances of a viable opposition as good democracy relies on a strong opposition to hold governments to account.
