Vic State Election

^ If so, that might not be such a bad idea. But I share Stui's scepticism – suggestions like these are often vote-winners, but whether they actually work in practice seems debatable at best.

What's that got to do with Health Australia Party your everyday friendly naturopaths who want ? ". "

It is a dumb as National Service. The military boffins hate the concept of National Service because they get involuntary participants. When Gough got in hundreds just walked out and threw kit bags on the floor and it took years to sort the admin side out . A mate (Pies member for 60 years) was in Bandiana and he said was like herding cats.

These punks won't listen to parents etc, they are not going to listen to some Pollyannas and will just refuse to either go or do anything when there.

Ms Jamil told Mr Guy and reporters she had to sell an extra 700 coffees a month to keep up with the rising cost of power. Well I would get pissed off too when I bypassed the meter to cultivate my crop and actually never paid for power in the first place

Anyone getting a read on where this thing is headed? Common wisdom seems to be a modest Labor win with a motley crew of randoms holding balance of power in the upper house, but would be interested if anyone’s noticed a shift in mood over the last week or so.

[Culprit]

With the amount of people voting early you and current polling it suggest a close run race. The LNP have the crime card, is that enough to win Government? I think it's going to be one interesting election night.

It's a sad state of affairs if Guy is seen as any chance.

He's basically had no media presence as the opposition leader up until the last few weeks outside of the infamous lobster with a mobster headline and has zero charisma.

Guy being elected Premier of Victoria would be akin to making Corey Gault Captain of Collingwood.

And with that thought someone pass me a bucket.

[David]

^ I was thinking more making Michael Voss coach.

[stui magpie]

Guy isn't exactly captain Charisma, but then again neither is Dandrews and his government has been a bit of a bag of liquorice allsorts.

I expect Labor to win, but I also expect the trend of the 3 main parties primary vote reducing and small parties and independents increasing to continue.

[Dave The Man]

I voted today

The boot camp idea went well for the Adelaide Crows.

LOL.
