omg, those are some huge swings to Lab. I think it's the trump effect. We don't want cunts like that or cunts who support trump in.

I did the vote compass quiz thing, just to see where I land. Smack bang between Greens and ALP apparently lol.

I saw there is a rep for a Libertarian party in my seat, so I went to their website to check their policies and this gave me a chuckle

Stop treating me like a CHILD! I want to RIDE HORSES and PROSPECT in Victoria's National Parks! I'm an ADULT and I want THE GOLD RUSH AGAIN!

Edit:

meme time

The same person would be complaining of they saw what the masses would do to it, once it's gone it's gone.

We have surplus land that doesn't need protection from unrestrained greed.

I always forget that the seat of Bradfield exists.

The Bradfields are my people. There has been at least one famous one

I've been thinking about cleaning off the consoles and setting them up around my desk; my second monitor is actually a small TV so I could plug them in. Mainly because I want to play the original Ratchet and Clank trilogy, and Halo.

I think, out of all the Halo games, my favourites are ODST and Reach. I know it's silly, but in Reach I could play as a female Spartan and that was fucking awesome to me.

Another video of an option boss I took down.

The music in this one is pretty awesome, I love the soundtrack to this so much.

Expedition 33 - Chromatic Ballet

Sorry if Iโ€™m being annoying with these.

I usually have white noise or something on while I sleep. Last night was too lazy and my dreams were amazing and vivid.

Then I got woken up

If an Independent senate candidate (eg Liz) reaches a quota after counting of first preferences and she is 129 votes in excess. Which 129 ballots get preferences distributed?

Not explained in this video.

For some totally non-election related discussion: what is your preferred style of bed? I'm seeing a lot of fabric covered bed heads around, and I really don't like that idea from a cleaning/hygiene perspective.

I'm looking at a dark stained wood frame bed, a fairly minimal design with raised legs and no footboard. My current bed is nearly 30 years old, the options have changed considerably since then.
