I don't know where they will take that bin to empty.
Just about every dump is full up with potatoes.

Luckily on the entire Sydney water front one party which you would think would have every single seat, doesn't has a single seat. Melbourne is a backwater.
Disclaimer, I own 3 water front properties.

While handing out flyers for the Greens I had one voter who said to me 'I wouldn't touch you with a 40 foot pole'. I said you 'better make that 80 feet'.
The people with money in Sydney are doing our best to help the rest of you poor sods.

Wawt, your recent effort is bovine excrement personified. The inescapable fact is that the opposition's policies did not resonate with the silent majority, note the word majority.
Crying in your caviar will not make it taste any better.

What policies. They had none except the same old stupid slogans delivered by a total dunderhead.

I think you may need to read up on what "preferential voting" is Magnarc, old chap.
It means that the candidate was preferred by the electorate. It has nothing to do with who gets the most primary votes as your second choice also counts. Just because one only gets 35% of the primary vote does not mean the majority don't want that person elected. Of the remaining 65%, if the majority place that candidate second on the ballot then that candidate is elected.
In the Senate where there is proportional representation, each candidate only has to reach a quota of about 14% then the votes apply to the next on the party list and so on. Some senators that may be third or fourth on the list have been elected with just a handful of votes.
That is the reason why "first past the post" system is unfair. If you have, for example, 100 people voting in an election and 39 favour one candidate and another attracts 40 votes, then the person who attracted 40 votes would be successful even though 60 people didn't want that person. With preferential voting, the second choice comes into play. Obviously, if one candidate gets over 50% of the primary or first vote, there is no need to go to preferences, that candidate has been successful.

The way you citi-centric mob are treating us "poor sods" in the bush, you may soon have to eat your money to survive.
There will be no food left.
Cut off our water, cover our productive cropping land with glass panels and wind turbines.
Push real estate and in turn rural land prices through the roof so it is no longer feasible to buy and produce on farm land on an asset cost to income ratio.
At 10 grand a hectare now it is not possible to turn a profit on the land.
Maybe you could try a cheese sauce on the next $50 note you will have to munch on.
Or, due to severe shortages, we could cut off all food deliveries at the Great Sandstone Barrier and keep all the tucker for ourselves.
Think of it this way WAWT, look how much weight you will lose and your diabetes and stroke risks will lessen markedly.

I just believe how now the Jokes section has to contain political comments.
Any wonder people get the sh**s with what goes on here
Hi Everyone, Just a quick reminder that political discussions are not allowed on this forum. Experience has taught us that these kinds of topics lead to bad feelings and, ultimately, personal attacks. We created this forum to be a positive place to discuss the grey nomad lifestyle. Thanks.
I am so glad it is gone !!!!
