joegarra said:Have to disagree, her voting pattern earned her the nickname of the 6th Green. Presents very well and will initially engage until you raise a point contrary to her stand and suddenly silence.
DavidSSS said:Some interesting upper house results, a few regions with 2 seats going to minor parties. Libs got smashed, 7 seats - what a mess. I suppose the Nats got 4 but still, very bad result for them. Labor won the election convincingly but still have no majority in the upper house, but of a check there and reflects almost 43% of first preferences in the Lower House, but 39% in the Upper House. Just shows people do think about their votes if there are a fair proportion voting differently in the upper house, now they need to be thinking about their preferences too - above the line preferenceing is essential.

ALP 52, me 26, Libs 22. Preference distribution stopped as someone hit 50. Guesstimates are something like 57-43, so took about 9% off ALP.KnightersRevenge said:How did you finish up Doc?

mrposhman said:Personal viewpoint is we have State and Federal governments for a reason. The states are best served to decide what they want to do infrastructure wise. Matters of federal policies are for Canberra but feel the states should get to do as they plan not how the feds want them to. Ie the states request funding for set projects not the feds stating that they want a different project.

At the Dump in R12 while both teams have the bye in R11 on their own.Did I read that correctly? The Andrews government spent a quarter of a million $ of taxpayers money to have the Saints/Port game that was due to be played in China, rescheduled from to Melbourne. When it was probably always going to be played in Melbourne anyway.
Yeah agreed as well.
There is one change I would make. And that’s water being a national resource and not being state run.
