Australia - 7 September 2013

Does anyone think the new boat buy up policy of the coalition will change anything? Also I wonder if the Two Northern Territory HoR seats shift to both being Country Liberal? Katter talks a good game but he will only be a force in the FNQ, also it looks like the Green Rep in Vic. is out based on preferences by Liberals.

Yeah I agree that Lingiari will be hard to predict, but looking at the Territorial Election, the Bush seats are the ones that Labour suffered the most in. It will be interesting to watch.

It will be interesting to see if any thing comes of the squabble between the Nats and Liberals, I doubt the two will split but they are bickering over cabinet seats (which is a bit presumptuous). It would be interesting to see if the two start to show some more sunlight between them and what that means for the LNP.

I was having way to much fun on the Senate Election Calculator, in NT, if AFNPP gets around 5% of the first preferences then they could surpass the ALP and Greens, it seems that everyone preferences AFNPP over the Greens, when Greens are eliminated, their preferences go to AFNPP so AFNPP will get elected. As long as Labor gets below 33.34%. Got to love how the Aussie Senate works.

I am skeptical of polls. All over the world they have been off. I do expect Labor will loose but who knows how bad and the Senate will most likely be a hung parliament.
