Green's leader, Senator Christine Milne, had six staff leave after losing more than 400, 000 (net) voters.

Bill Shorten M.P. admits rigging questions for a 'Labor Leader' debate (in a taxi) - at least he admitted it, Antony Albanese M.P. might well have done the same - sans taxi.

Clive Palmer M.P. wins and yet again calls for (reasonable) fixing of our corrupt (allegedly - just to cover myself) Electoral System - with nasty (IMHO) AEC Chief Legal Officer Paul Pirani (Piranha?) to fly to Queensland to overcome Mr Palmer's complaints (and perhaps to threaten him with legal action).

Something cute from my daughter's playgroup yesterday that my wife told me. Evelina, 14 months old, was watching some children use the mini blue slippery-dip and wanted to go on it. My wife helped her have a go on it. A little girl, about 4 years old, tried helping Evelina go up for another turn and said 'I think she likes me' and was so happy. My wife told the story better than I (and saw it happy).

It finished at about 10PM or 11PM.
Arjay.
P. S. It would have sure been nice scrutineering for another Candidate (different Seat / Division) while they scrutinised for mine in Chartlon though.

I'm sure that everyone's children are awesome, and most adults too as we were all our parents' children, but my daughter is particularly awesome :-D

Information formerly on this page can be found here, new information shall more likely than not be posted on the page before filling up and being moved to reduce the screen clutter.
In a war of attrition and retaliation capabilities between Big Government (at fault) versus the Little Guy (myself) then I guess that I am destined to lose.
As there is no Media Uproar (although I appreciate the story being published by at least one newspaper) - I have been told that the most I could expect is for the AEC to be sent a letter from the [name with-held for the time being] saying that they mistreated me. No disciplinary action against AEC Employees. No recall of the election. No S Election as when a Candidate dies during the election. No By-Election.
I'm off to the beach for some R&R before re-taking up the 'good fight' - although I am very disappointed in the whole situation and the government's supposed 'oversight', 'justice', 'procedural fairness', 'accountability', and our 'Freedom' & 'Choice'... among other things.
