Melbourne, Sydney, it's all the same in the end...

You'll need to move to Bankstown if you want your vote heard.

Yeah, I live in Plibersek's very safe Labour seat - my vot will make little difference, beyond giving some of the smaller parties a boost.

I don't think I'll be voting for any of the major parties.

You can get one of the independents election money next time if you can help push their primary support over 4%.

I actually quite like many of the policies of the Sex Party, however they have a huge branding issue, and will never appeal to the larger population.

I would probably vote NXT, if he was running anybody in my electorate.

Or Warringah. I hear that one is up for grabs this time.

What's with parties being named after the party leader? Not quite ego mad like PUP but I don't agree with it.

I live in Malcolm T's very safe Liberal seat. There's Labor placards on all the street posts around his office which gives me a giggle everytime I pass it.

I think demographically Wentworth is probably a lot like Higgins ("blue ribbon") here in Melbourne where according to polling Kelly O'Dwyer is at risk from the Greens. Malcolm could end up in a similar predicament by the next election I think. His 2PP vote was in the low to mid-50s% in 2004 & 2007.

Not really sure its the right demographic for the Greens. That said there are a lot of the youthful crowd around here so maybe you could be right.

I heard recently that the most common language spoken in households after English is Russian.

Here is the Labor candidate. Interesting fella

White middle class. Not a chance.

GarryP

Not easy, but two thirds of his electorate said he shouldn't be standing again.

And the sheer explosion of schadenfreude should he get kicked out would be a delight to see.

Good decisions ....... poorly explained.

"We've stopped the boats" ........ no you stopped thousands of deaths at sea.

"We've stopped the brown people ........ I mean boats"

Some were black. But if you want to racially profile and colour code people, go ahead. I won't be partaking.
