Australian politics thread

What time do polls open? I've got study to do all day (hence being up at this ridiculous hour), and CNN has nothing on it so far . . .

Not expecting results at 8:00am - just general shenanigans.

[not tyson]

They opened at 7 I think.

I'm waiting till 11 and they better not have run out of sausages, or I will fucking stab someone.

Why 11:00am, specifically?

[not tyson]

No idea, that's just the time I usually leave the house on a Saturday to get booze/food.

Makes sense, actually.

Probably not necessary for any Aussies with access to a TV, but pretty fucking awesome for anyone not in Australia.

[not tyson]

My plan worked perfectly, in and out no worries.

Trying to beat the rush by going in early is for idiots.

[The Boss]

You're a genius.

I had to mute the feed for a while there. It was too distracting while I was trying to pull big words out of my ass.

[The Boss]

Fuck, even the Abos are going Liberal.

I'm seriously going to consider my options on finding a career in NZ.

[not tyson]

I'm really not going to be watching the coverage until 6 or 7, that's when the heavy hitters come on and the count begins.

It's gunna be a ruddbath.

Stayed up all night thinking about that one, didn't you.

Man, haven't heard the Aussie accent for a while. Ugh.

[not tyson]

I've been saying it all week, that and a ruddslide.

Blender's drinking beer and watching it on TV. The bastard.

[The Boss]

Blender and I have turned this into a drinking game.

Gold.

[not tyson]

Scull a beer everytime you suck a dick?

No.

A key element is drink whenever they say "bellwether".

That kind of thing. I chose "trend". Bad idea.

[not tyson]

I'm going to watch one more episode of the new series of peep show then tune in, it should get interesting from that point, I'm hoping.

Should have choose 'marginal' imo, stomach pump material.

I nearly did "swing", but I don't want to die.

"Bloodbath" is another we've chosen.

[The Boss]

It's over.

Looking at overseas positions in NGOs, and "regular" jobs in New Zealand.

I'm not joking.

[not tyson]

LMAO

It was over on Friday brother, if not a week ago.

Please tell me you weren't watching this in hope Abbutt wouldn't win?

I'm watching this because I'm a political tragic.

Oh btw, NZ has a conservative government.

[not tyson]
