Managed to avoid most election ads so far. Except for the local candidate posters, all of who (and I might be wrong) are promising to build a pool. In a beachside town. With a very large aquatic centre about 20min drive away.
There’s like zero brown people here so I guess they needed to think outside the box a bit.
“Everyone I spoke to at my campaign office were outraged by it, so my understaning of statistical mathematics tells me that to be 100% of the local community are outraged as well.”
And they’re going to put electrical outlets in gum trees apparently, according to some silly old duck in Queensland. Lifelong Labor voter till 2016. Queensland is a weird place.
Another thing…allegedly a platform of Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party is that North Queensland should secede…maybe from Queensland, maybe from Australia.
We might finally be rid of Leyonhjelm. Missed out on a NSW upper house seat. May try again for a federal senate seat, there’s still time to nominate, but his voter base is so low (and there’s so much competition for the hard right vote now) that it’ll be very very tough for him.
I’d say good riddance, but you just know he’ll have a regular column in the Australian and a sky news gig within a fortnight, and within two months he’ll be a regular commentator on the ABC in the name of ‘balance’.
Is that like how family-friendly Sunrise provides balance by giving a platform to two One Nation members and one of the most right wing ex-Premiers Victoria has ever seen?
