"Mr Shorten has, however, presented the nation with a legitimate choice. But we believe Mr Turnbull deserves the chance to deliver on the potential that stirred the nation when he came to power less than a year ago."

Basically they hope he can improve, and are willing to forgive him for doing nothing since he became PM. that seems the mantra for most who are voting for the Libs, that and 'stability'.
not many actually praising their policies.

Yep, and thats the fault in the argument. Look at Daniel Andrews... he hit the ground running from day 1 after 4 years of nothingness from the previous govt. Now 3 years of nothingness except incompetence from this government and people think they deserve more time? *smile* to that.

Edit: 55000 full time jobs lost in the past 4 months with the auto industry jobs about to fall off the cliff.

The silver lining of the ALP inevitably losing today is it brings Andrews' transition to federal politics a step closer. Maybe the ALP itself will make a comeback, after going missing for 20 years post-PJK.

And by next election, no one should be left in any doubt about what a traitorous fraud Turnbull is. The other side of the Rudd pillow. Christ, I hope he loses his seat today.
 
Bill Shorten is not likeable and apparently has no idea how to eat at a sausage sizzle. How can he run Australia when he cannot do the basic Australian things correctly. Does he drink a beer with a straw? :hihi :hihi :hihi

In all seriousness has anyone ever seen someone eat a sausage sanga like that before?

Neither side is strong but Shorten is coming from behind and has absolutely zero charisma to try and win votes. He was done before he became leader of the labor party.
 
The eating of a Democracy Sausage is a serious test of Leadership. Shorten failed, Turnbull didn't even attempt one. Abbott showed reporters how Turnbull should have eaten one. Di Natale is asking for a royal commission on the lack of vegan sausages. Mirrabella is too busy sucking lemons.
 
OK so I've just voted.
And the AEC girl re-inforced I had to vote AT LEAST 6 candidates above the line on the Senate paper. All the parties how to vote said the same.
When I said to the AEC girl, "no I don't - just numbering 1 is enough" she said "no sir, you must number 1 to 6".
So I said the senior AEC Officer last night issued a press statement saying that just voting 1 is a formal vote.
Then the AEC girl said "oh yes, we were told that too".

Oh what a fraudulent system we have.

Give Shorten a round peg and a round hole and his wife will still say, "Ah no, Bill. Not there."

Charisma-free zone. Should work for RFC the way he tries to do/say what he thinks other people think is right without actually having a clue/the guts to do what is required.
 
Quite obvious that Shorten can't win. Today is just a formality for Turnbull to be officially voted in as PM. Nothing will happen.
 
I hadn't seen this. Mathison taking apart Bolt. If Bolt didn't barrack for Richmond he'd have nothing going for himself.

I've never seen Bolt on tv. That's a terrible interview. He seems annoyed someone is running against Tony! Then you'll notice the pause after Mathison says something. That's when Bolts producer is telling him the next question to ask.

This bit for one:
True, odds are at least one of them isn't. The vast majority though want to exercise control over other people's lives, that's why they aren't doing something else, like for example a productive job. What kind of person would prefer the former over the later?
