If you are 18 by then, who will you be voting for?

 

[0bs3n3]

Liberal.

Almost obligatory.

 

[annabackwards]

Hmmmmmmm

Tis a tough call for me, i'm so tempted to vote Liberal and most likely will seeing as the 3 stooges are still in Labor >.<"

[Name_Taken]

Liberal.

Almost obligatory.

Heh. +1

 

[Tangent]

wait wtf is the state election this year? thread title wrong?

i'd vote for the libs, but in terms of fashion stakes i'd vote for christina kenneallyhottie cos fuck she's such a milf. Seriously there should be a thread on barry vs christina

yeah, last election was in 2007. The government gets 3 year terms.

Tis the state election we're talking about

I'd never vote for that douche, Mad Monk.

 

[volition]

I will be spoiling my ballot because voting changes little to nothing

Hate to burst all your bubbles, but you're going to have to wait another year before venting your love or hate on the ballot. NSW state elections are on a fixed-term, four-year cycle. Last election was 2007. You do the maths.
Unless you're discussing some other state. You know, one that no-one cares about.

...what moll said. i really should read the title properly.

only fed elections this year. and my point still stands

 

[M3riJaan]

liberal party definitely. The labor party failed to achieve many of its promises during the election.

Is this really news? Find me a party that DOES keep its promises!

 

[moll.]

this is such a fail thread. As moll eluded to state elections are 4 year fixed cycles. Used to be 3 but we voted for 4 year terms. Ffs us voters are idiots.

THIS IS WHY HAVING A HEREDITARY, CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCH WORKS. NO FUCKWlT REDNECKS TO VOTE FOR THE SMILING DUMBASS.

Indeed, but i skipped the thread title and just read the actual opening post XD

Seriously, my plan to solve the Republican-Monarch debate in Australia:
Grab Prince Harry, give him an Aussie bitch, make him live here and tell him he's king of Australia and his granny can go fuck herself. Two generations down the line we get a monarch that's virtually pure Aussie.

I wouldn't consider myself a liberal supporter but seriously, labor has been in power for way too long and seem to have lost touch with the electorate to an alarming degree, not to mention that every public project they touch seems to wilt and die. So I'm going to vote liberal.

Better yet, why not abolish state gvt altogether, enlarge councils and share state powers between fed and local gvts.

Shit yes last sentence. "Million citizens councils". 22 states.
At the very least either fucking abolish the State Senate because a bicameral system for a government which doesn't even have any powers is utterly useless, or make it so that a certain (reasonably high) percentage of federal party MPs cannot be elected unless they have served a term in State government (Independants are exempt). Because let's face it: Who the fuck aspires to being a Premier?

One who sees themselves above the unpaid rabble of local government but who does not have the acumen or raw political talent to succeed where it counts - in Canberra.

 

[yoddle]

There are two state elections this year, both on March 20, despite the fact that no one cares I will just say that I am going to vote Green, because both Labor and Liberal are like the shittest of the shit in Tasmania and act like they were freshly plucked from a Grade 7 debating team.

Tasmanian politics is actually so pathetic right now, it angers me, which is reflected in the latest EMRS, which puts Labor (government) at 23% and the Greens at 22% statewide, which would have to be some sort of record?

 

[postnatal]

what happened to getting rid of fixed terms? wasn't there a petition to get rid of it?

 

[killer-cupcakes]

When is the voting? (Just curious as I'm not eighteen for another three months) And I really don't care
