Yep, it should have been North Sydney.


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

Yeah North Sydney is bad enough.

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.

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

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.

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