robplum: oh i dunno, yes he has shady side, in my opinion includes being far to close to China however Turnbull and Key did the right thing in respect to Syria. Abbott didn't (he flew a war plane into Syria) and though i don't doubt he has tried telling truth it just isn't something he ever could do...

Federal election 2016: Independents, minor parties solidify influence

Five independent and minor party politicians who could hold the balance of power are already laying out conditions.



Negative campaign cost me votes: Dutton

Peter Dutton says a negative campaign against him, led by unionists, is to blame for his slide in popularity as he holds onto a slender lead in his seat of Dickson.
The count is close in the seat in Brisbane's outer northwest, with Mr Dutton on 50.82 per cent of the vote on a two party preferred basis, leading Labor's Linda Lavarch who has 49.2 per cent

Ms Lavarch, who left Queensland parliament in 2009, is also the ex-wife of former federal attorney-general Michael Lavarch.



Both major parties face a steep uphill battle to muster workable support from enough crossbenchers to form a minority government if, as seems possible, the election produces a hung parliament.
Two of the likely five independents, Andrew Wilkie and Cathy McGowan, have already ruled out doing a deal with either side. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten were calling independents on Sunday morning in a sign neither felt his party could form a majority on its own.



‘Islam has no place in Australia’: One Nation

PAULINE Hanson is back.
After 18 years in the wilderness, the controversial One Nation leader is heading to the Senate, where she will quite possibly hold the balance of power.
You may not agree with her, but you can’t ignore her any longer.
In her previous incarnation, Hanson was all about stopping “Asian” immigration. Today, she has turned her focus to the dangers of Islam, Shariah law and the “racket” of Halal certification.
Here’s a quick guide to One Nation’s four key policies.

chaos , might help politicians think of their voters further than election day aye Robo

5.05pm - AFP probes 'partisan' Medicare text messages

The source of thousands of partisan texts allegedly sent to voters on election day is being looked at by federal police.

The texts pretended to come from Medicare and told recipients "Mr Turnbull's plans to privatise Medicare will take us down the road of no return," News Corp reports.

But the matter has since been referred to the AFP for "evaluation", with a spokeswoman saying no further comment can be made as the matter is being looked at.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull last night called the nexts one of the greatest example of systematic dishonesty in Australian political history.

He said he expected a police investigation.

3.01pm - Voters crossed off but stopped from casting ballots

AAP reports the electoral commission is investigating an incident in which voters were crossed off the roll but not given ballot papers.

The NSW seats of Lyne and Cowper have been extensively redrawn as part of the federal redistribution.

This meant voters who used to be in Lyne had to ask for Cowper ballot papers at their local booths.

Independent candidate Rob Oakeshott, who retired as the MP for Lyne in 2013, took on coalition MP Luke Hartsuyker in Cowper.

Mr Oakeshott said polling booths in North Haven and Bonny Hills, which are in Lyne, ran out of absentee ballot papers for the seat of Cowper.

The voters were told they would be signed off the electoral roll, but not able to cast a ballot.

yes but deprived the right to vote and that's FOWL

Electoral Commissioner and his Deputy (both ex-soldiers) should be called upon for the effected voting booths be required to reopen...
Or election can be said to be invalid...

Being one of those people who does make the effort to count the votes (okay, they do pay me a pittance which is way above the Dole) I am amazed at how many people expect the results 2 seconds after polling closes.

Something like 10,000 people in each electorate decided to vote early at Pre-poll centres over the 3 weeks prior to the election. I am surprised at how many people work on that Saturday or went away for tat weekend. Now these votes CANNOT be opened until after the 6.00pm closing time on the day of the election.

However, each polling centre must ensure that every ballot paper issued is accounted for. Many thanks go to those who decided that they should put their ballot paper in the rubbish bin.

Unfortunately, not enough people are able to work from 7am until 6pm during Voting hours plus the 6-7 hours of first count and then be immediately available to continue counting for the next 24 hours.

Maybe I forgot something. Many bods from southern latitudes do not really enjoy the colder climate and migrate northwards. Somehow the Tardis Booth does not immediately transport their vote to the appropriate Electoral Office and there is a reliance on Aussie Post to dispatch their Postal Vote to the correct centre or a Regional Office to send it to the correct centre.
