The Aussie election (108)
pat8lanips: For too long both parties have relied on- we're not quite as bad as them... Hopefully this election has shown people can vote outside labor/liberal. The greens are in with labor when they're not just being dills, dunno a lot about NX but I agree with his stance on poker machines.
Now that I have managed to work for the AEC I do feel I can place a realistic comment about this.
Shorten relied heavily on the Medicare Scare complaining which did see him getting the simpleton vote. Except anyone with half a brain would have seen that this was just something out of the air that he brought forward from all those years ago that Laboring supported. Medicare needed to be reviewed as it really needed us decent honest workers to support it.
wash2u: I have a lot of issues with Unions and the Laboring Party after they decided to rob the Super fund I was in to prop up a failing State Laboring Government. Yeah, if they had not done this I would not be now relying on Government handouts.
On saying this, I do a fair bit of volunteering with the Salvos (5 days a week) and have a "colleague" who does enjoy a public housing property and its associated benefits. And he has informed me that while he does have about $250,000 invested (sorry, meant "I do not know what you are talking about") overseas he is very entitled to receive public housing and all of the associated benefits.
I am very pizzed off after working the last 3 weeks earning a semi-decent income. For some reason I am very highly qualified to count to "5" in a Division of 5 candidates. I have managed to see "10" on one paper of 5 candidates.

It's interesting that you say that about that worker Wash.
I had to produce evidence of how much money I earn a year when I started renting from a charity they didn't accept I got paid what I was . They didn't think I've worked for the company as long as I had I think it was year 15 or 16 seeing I had been employed thete longer than bosses . They weren't happy my old house was up for sale .
Then move forward five or six years I've suffered a TBI Centrelink couldn't accept I don't have rental properties demanded to know my car a 2011 Mitsubishi that raised flags something about money but I passed got incapacitated benefits that's ending in a few months .
Public housing I never could get a housing trust place they told me to buy . That was a con job by banks first home owners loan wages went up a little bit what they thought .
So how does one get a public housing place with money invested overseas seeing Centrelink are like blood hounds gee they are waiting for my pay out which is off the table
this will focus your leaders minds on you bloody voters
coalition government with 76 seats, a majority of just one.
Labor has won 69 seats.
But that could change, with the possibility of the Liberals seeking a Court of Disputed Returns ruling to void the election result and run a fresh election.

Not be surprised if your PM starts making a monkey out of arabs or Chinese to gain back some of Hanson's ground . 'bulls comment about indefinite detention for terrorist's last week could be just that .Bet an underhand crook like him would use it against a very loosely defined terrorist .Labor has won 69 seats.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party has won four seats in the Senate, with two seats in Queensland and one each in WA and NSW.
Rodney Culleton has been taken into police custody after turning himself in over an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court to answer larceny charges.
The West Australian senator was convicted in his absence earlier this year for stealing a tow truck key from a driver who was trying to repossess one of his company cars in 2014.
Larceny carries a maximum penalty of five years jail, which could deem him ineligible to be a senator.
Mr Culleton is also awaiting trial in WA later this month, the week before parliament begins.
That trial comes after he was arrested and charged for allegedly stealing a car being used by receivers from RSM Bird Cameron as they began foreclosure proceedings at a friend's farm.(**)
The senator won the 11th spot on the WA ballot, and is the last of four One Nation senators elected.
His wife Ioanna Culleton(*) also ran but her senate bid was unsuccessful.
(*) Its my understanding if he is convicted then his wife or his uncle (brother or something!) who also stood for a one-nation senate seat would be taking his place in the senate.
(**)One Nation Senator elect blocked cars with Hay Bales
