Nice dubs

I just started a thread, but I guess we can use yours...

>3% of the vote counted in the last 3 days
>Still only at 83% counted, 5 days after the election

So how colossally did the AEC fuck this up?

From what I've heard the people counting the ballots had no clue about what was and wasn't an informal vote. For example, they were counting votes where less than 6 numbers were written above the line as informal, when in fact they are formal.

Can we expect any significant (((changes))) to the final vote count? Especially with regard to a certain senator and her team?

fuk yeah we have one whole seat this time

AEC are fucking retards

my guess is that we will have to have a recount and then another election

Winning a seat in the lower house is actually a pretty big achievement.

I am no fan of the greens but you need to acknowledge that winning seats off of the major parties is extremely hard to do.

I hate the greens' ideology but I always have a cheeky bit of regard for how they have eaten into labor's base.

One (1) seat

yeah, i see what you mean but what the fuck are they gonna change with one seat

It's in reference to the medicare boner the Greens have.

Oi you cunts you should see this, /QA/ is getting raided.

We're getting blamed for the Easter spammer

Why does it take so long?

>what the fuck are they gonna change with one seat
Well you have to start somehwhere. Obviously they plan to build on that one seat and win more in the future.

The libs threw a psanner in their works when they decided not to give them preferences any more.

But they are now a close second to Labor in a few seats, and also threatening the libs in a couple more.

Because we have a parliamentary democracy m8

The electoral commission fucked up the count

They are in damage control, trying to restore the public's trust in them

They're having to re-count all the votes now because nobody had any clue about what counted as a formal or informal vote

>Labor and Greens gets more votes than Coalition
> Coalition gets more seats

lamo Australian democracy is a joke

They have to wait for two weeks after polling day to let postal ballots come in.

...

That's because the seats that are Labor are more heavily Labor because all of life's losers tend to congregate in the same scummy areas

on ya, mick!

>Can we expect any significant (((changes))) to the final vote count? Especially with regard to a certain senator and her team?
Apparently the recounts are favoring LNP on 2 party preferred.
Not sure if there will be a significant difference to our girl's results.

legend

Labor and the Greens aren't in a coalition and disagree on most issues

>disagree on most issues
Not sure how good a call that is m8.

the media always hype the Greens up that they and their supporters start believing in their own hype.

They didn't even come close in my seat (Grayndler) where they were widely said to be in with a shot of beating Albanese.

They plastered the whole electorate with billboards and mailouts, but they still only got 20%, which is less than the Liberal who got like 24% in this apparently hard-left seat.

NSW Greens are the shittes tin the country.

Full of trots and infighting. They always do way below their potential.

Based Mick Brown from Coffs Harbour

Greens shit everywhere in mine and they couldnt hit 8% and thats a electorate with the actual reef thats apparently dying

The Greens perform much better in Vic than NSW though. They came scarily close to getting Batman, and made significant gains in Wills.

My conspiracy theory is that we're being coerced into accepting electronic voting, they shut down poling stations and have put the AEC on a go slow for that very reason. I expect the media to carry on about the process and demand change on the behalf of the plebs they want to defraud in the future.

They did good in Higgins and Melbourne Ports too.

The votes aren't equal cunt the seats are

same, in my seat (isaacs), not even get 10% whereas labour got 44%

Really makes you think

Ignorant Brit here

Who do we want to win?

Australia is very Asian now, is anyone stopping that or are you cucked like Europe?

Europe is less cucked because atleast they practice trade protectionism

Pauline Hanson's One Nation

>Who do we want to win?
Doesn't matter, they're all the same: globalist shills

> anyone stopping that or are you cucked like Europe
No because there is literally nothing wrong with legal, wealthy Asians

enjoy your syrians and pakis tho

I won't be surprised to see them pick up at least one more seat next election. Not that I want to see that.

we want greens to win m8

We take more immigrants per capita than you do

>there is literally nothing wrong with legal, wealthy Asians
Chink detected.

>LE FUGG LE JINGZ XDDD

t. Joseph Xiangtangwang

Fucking robbed so many gooks growing up it's not funny, my city gentrified the ghetto I grew up in

>Not that I want to see that
If they win it from Labor I won't mind. It sows strife between them.

>Believing the legal wealthy Asians are good immigrants meme

They are soulless, heartless insects. Just because they don't commit nigger crimes doesn't make them good contributors to this country. They are like parasites, sucking the host dry, leaving behind a soulless, cultureless husk, leaving ghettoes in their wake.

Fuck the Chinese, especially those mainlander cunts. I have to work in an office which is 90% mainland Chinese, and it's fucking hell. The farting, burping, spitting, hawking, coughing, incessant throat clearing, loud phone conversations, stinky as fuck food. These people are rude as fuck, make no effort to accustom to our way of life, and only ever expect hand-outs. They are ALL only children, greedy little spoilt manchildren.

I FUCKING HATE CHINESE PEOPLE

Yeah but I live in one of those electorates.

>John Tawon EggFryRi Mao

>No because there is literally nothing wrong with legal, wealthy Asians
Except the whole they have no business being in a White nation and undermining the quality of life for White people.

all we need in this country is some cunt that can speak like Hitler. and a decent uniform to go with the party.
come out of fucking nowhere next election, and 2 weeks before vote date spam shit everywhere calling yourself National Socialist.
only send flyers with socialist principles to lefty scummy areas
then send National principles to coalition areas.

then get on tv and start tearing the other cunts to shreds with your godly voice.
youd win it piss easy.

then go full dictator and burn down every mosque the night you are elected

Yeah they are techonologically and philosophically deprived animals just like niggers, except instead of nigger brains they have gook brains (Makes them good at tetris and that's about it)

WHAT THE FUCK IS TAKING SO LONG

nice lad any stories? id rob gooks if i werent a christian

How can I get involved with right wing politics in North Brisbane?

postal votes m8

Well said m8. They are drones and can only function as parasites.

walk around with a half aussie half swastika flag

Sign up to the Bernardi Youth

It's on his website, he'll send you out a uniform

Or join One Nation as an actual paying member and volunteer for them, try to get involved in the politics side of it at some point

meant for

Don't fuckin join Bernadi, join one nation

Who the fuck is Bernadi? Nobody, just another fucking politician.
He'll get in line

Thanks for the advice I think I'll join One Nation.

Bernardi is a God-fearing Aryan hero, you little grub.

They're vote is only up 1.2% on the last election. They won one seat last election and barely scraped up some of the liberal loss. The greens aren't going anywhere but down in the future.

bloody oath

Well, even if libs don't get full control at least they're still in power

Also what's the bet that labor will do hypocritical shittalking if/when the tonescoup happens

>A YOUNG Perth man is feared to have severe brain damage after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning from a barbecue used to keep his bedroom warm.

>Jaeric Bukuru is unable to breathe without a ventilator at Fiona Stanley Hospital, more than three weeks after he was found unresponsive in his South Lake home.

>The 25-year-old’s family has spoken out to warn about the deadly consequences of using a barbecue as a heater indoors during winter.

>Mr Bukuru and his older brother had brought the charcoal barbecue inside the house to cook meat.

>It’s believed the retail worker, who moved to >Perth from Tanzania as a child, then used the barbecue to heat his bedroom.

>He was found unconscious the following day by family.

>The greens aren't going anywhere but down in the future.
Are you a psychic m8? You don't know shit about what the future holds.

We literally have the fairest and and most comprehensively secure election in the entire world right now. Fuck electronic voting which is proven to be unsecure.

Oh for fuck's sake. Seriously, if the Bolter is hurt there will be fucking hell to pay

greens can win my sausage sandwich, fuck em

...

He should martyr himself willingly for the cause.

Let the fire rise.

i love you guys.

Didn't this election happen last week?

Why don't they have the results yet?

sounds good mate, im in

Huh.. really makes you think.

just takes a bit
she'll be right mate

...

Katter and Hanson having a legit say in parlament is actually the best thing coming out of this election so far.

Yes there is hope for the future now.

Fucking hell aussie sheilas are trash.

Hanson is literally a comical caricature of the right. She is dumb as a brick and will only make the left stronger.

They get dried out from all the salt water. Too much beach and physical activity.

Trash is the only thing that gets my dick hard m8.

What's with all the anti-Katter shilling in Aus/pol/ post election?

Katter is one of the most based politicians out, and is 10x a better meme than Pauline 'AFP Watchlist' Hanson.

Me too, m8. Me too.

She has made the right stronger. She is the only right-wing person who has ever succeeded in this country in the modern era.

The thing that makes the left stronger is when the cuckservatives in the coalition stop standing up for right wing values.

Hanson will stiffen them up because she poses a threat to them from their right.

Thanks for clarifying, ausbro. Here's hoping the Greens can convert all those votes into seats. Would lead to better democracy, right?

I think Katter is great but his deal with the coalition made him seem like a union-cuck like any Labor MP or the other paid for independants like Lambie.

It's a lot harder to like politicians in bed with the unions, even if it makes sense for him being a protectionist.

It looks like the coaltion will win a majority regardless and toss Katter aside.

>less than 6 numbers were written above the line as informal, when in fact they are formal.
No they aren't.

You must number at least 6 boxes above the line or your vote is informal.

The reason that it's taking so long is that all the poll votes are counted, so now it's down to postals and other shit. That stuff takes wayyy longer to verify, especially with every party breathing down your neck demanding a double-check each, which turns into a quintuple check.

>You must number at least 6 boxes above the line or your vote is informal.
This is wrong. You are talking out your arse.

Why don't dumb shits like you actually educate yourselves before spouting off your bullshit?

Go read Antony Green's election blog and educate yourself.

You can do 1 or 6+, not 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Why the fuck would I read some random no-name's blog when the fucking AEC website itself tells the truth?

You can even go and read the fucking legislation - you know, the actual fucking law - if you've got doubts.

AEC worker here. A single 1 above the line or 1-3 below the line are formal. They're savings provisions brought in to stop dumb cunts from wasting their vote because they didn't listen to the idiot explaining how to vote on election day.

>You can do 1 or 6+, not 2, 3, 4, or 5.
This is wrong too. Anything more than 1 counts too.

Search for "Savings provision" m8. and FUCKING EDUCATE YOURSELF

blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/

Sorry m8, but you're wrong

Wrong also

As long as there is a clear indication of preference, and that can mean as few as 1 or as many as 20+ votes, it's a formal vote. Forget about the mandatory 6 votes thing, it's not true. Even a single X above the line is counted as formal, since it indicates a clear preference for that party.

Read up about it on the AEC website.

austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/cea1918233/s269.html

Clearly says here 1 or 6+

>For the last 32 years, a single '1' above the line has been formal, with the ballot paper then taking on the full group preference ticket of the chosen party. The new system has abolished the tickets and now a minimum six preferences is the instruction for completing an above the line vote.

>However, with 95% of the electorate having voted with a single '1' for three decades, requiring six preferences had the potential to create a huge increase in informal voting caused by voters not being aware of the new instructions.

>To avoid increasing informal voting, a generous 'savings' provision has been included in the act. Any ballot paper with a valid first preference above the line will be 'saved' from being informal. Such a vote will count for the candidates of the chosen party and for no other candidate or party on the ballot paper. A ballot with a valid first preference will be valid for every further preference completed, so a 1,2 is also formal, a 1,2,3 is formal, as is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and so on.

All wrong.

At best they are informal votes that are being counted anyway, not formal votes. Savings provisions are not the law, they are bending the law because people are fucking dumb.

Yes, I'm aware that savings provisions are perfectly legal, but they are still "outside the rules."

To cast a formal vote you must number at least 6 boxes above the line. Anything else is not a formal vote and will not automatically be counted. If you do not number at least 6 boxes above the line and your vote is not counted you have absolutely no right to complain, because any savings provisions the AEC allows are at the Governor's pleasure.

Do not number less than six boxes above the line or your vote may not be counted.

>b-b-b-but it might be counted
Yeah, it might be, if you're lucky.

Fucken oath.
