I think it needs to be look into before the next alection, how can this be fair the way it is, yes labor want do it, because its going there way, everyone says when the next alection comes she will get voted out,

as I see in our electric, it will be the same old same old, who really just doesn't want to lern about julia and is quite happy to vote for her just the same. this is not fair, the voting system needs changing badly.

The whole system is wrong. It should be first past the post is the winner. No preferences. If there were no preferences the Greens would hold no seats. The preference swap deal is a gateway for corruption.

In our last Council election -  because of the "unity ticket" preferences,  one bloke got in having polled eleven votes and another polled fourteen.  Yet, good independent candidates who polled hundreds of votes didn't get a look in.  (of course it's a Labor controlled council).  When I confronted the Mayor, he tried to say that those figures were incorrect and was embarrassed when I showed him the printout from the Electoral Commission website,  then the b******* just shrugged and said " oh well that's the system".  The two that did get in are just lackeys and an absolute waste of space.

HI JAN

Its all wrong, when we have people who just vote because they will get fined if they don't,  and don't know the person whom their really voting for and use the first bit of paper given to them.  And most of these women in our district vote what their husbands vote for, because they don't know any better, or have no wish to either,  and majority have that so wrong. THIS SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE FORE FRONT BEFORE NEXT ALECTION.  I will be attending another meetiong at the town hall about it and will be writting some letters also and emails, this can't go unnoticed anymore.

Thanks for that reply Leon, so mad with this stupid system, was great back in the good old days when everything was just and fair, everyone had a good moral outlook on how it should be.  But it’s no longer their anymore.  Their thinking its going our way so we won't say anything about this , as we are getting plenty of votes for nothing in this electric to support us, maybe because all these different nationalities just won't notice its all our way because they can't be botherd learning what its all about.   I will be going to the next council meeting and writing letters and emails, its going unnoticed, no longer can just sit back and say nothing, when its unfolding in front of me.

Many years ago I used to vote but I have now realised that we are not really voting for any properly identified legal person.  TONY ABBOTT MP is the person identified as the leader of the opposition and our previous labour canditate in Leichardt was an entity identified as JIM TURNOUR MP.

The issue is that these two persons do not really exist as the leader of the opposition was born and named Anthony John Abbott (born 4 November 1957) and the other clown was born James Pearce Turnour.

So if TONY ABBOTT MP and JIM TURNOUT MP are sitting in the parliament and legally representing their constituents and sending out propergander allegdly signed by Tony and Jim are these documents forged or false or are we just to assume that this is all legal and above board.

It is a scamm but you will need to look at your own names first on your electricity Bills, Council Rates notices, Bank cards and account names, phone bills and official government correspondance which gets sent in the window envelopes with no stamps being used.

 Hi to all

Am certain of it now, it needs to change fast, as I was writing a letter out to my local member found on his web site, that some people have voted 2 and 3 times over.  Is this how labor got into power?

I've had this discussion up and running way before the veggie patch and getting ready for Christmas.

and now I find what I had thought was happening did happen, and so raising this discussion again and bringing it to the fore front, as its paramount that it needs to be change in the way we vote,  don’t want labor in again by false voters.

Don’t want everyone’s hard work, even the convoy wasted or all the letter writing that has been done by people voting 2 and 3 times. I have mention this also in my letter to my local lib member.

Cheerio

Barb
