Assuming... Cathy McGowan go for the Coalition

Considering she's mainly known for running against and beating (now twice) Lib Sophie Mirabella, that's one hell of an assumption.

Libs could probably rely on Katter, Xenophon is a wild card but going with the Coalition will likely kill his career. Anything less than 74 Lib seats is basically unworkable for them, and even that might not be enough.

Do abbo's not believe in bras or basic hygiene? I know they used to drink petrol but I wasn't sure if that still held true.

I am a tad concerned in relation to your experience in regards to our abbos (niggars). Most of out abbos (niggars) wear bras and wash regularly. None of our abbos (niggars) drink petrol, a propottion of our abbo (niggar) youth SNIFF petrol, but it is droppiung as we breed the abbo (niggar) out of them.

Most of our abbos (niggars) are well behaved, I think you have no idea how our abbos (niggas) act and you are causiung trouble for our well socialised abbos (niggars).

And no further counting now until Tuesday.

AEC had Coalition leading 66, Labor leading 72, Greens 1, Katter 1, Xeno 1, Independents 2, and 7 undetermined at the close of counting. Postal votes usually favour the Liberals but it's the Liberals who lost most of the Coalition seats so anything could happen when those are counted.

Liberals mightn't have a choice. The budget won't get passed if they don't have a majority and blocked supply is a double dissolution trigger. It's what happened during the Whitlam years. They can't form government unless they can convince the GG they will actually be able to govern (which means getting money bills passed).

And yes, much as I dislike Shorten, Labor would be fools to dump him any time soon. It's not like people love Albo.

When pauline hanson first showed up howard was wise enough to capitalise on her popularity and taking on the xenophobia as it was clearly popular. Pauline hansons senate votes show a large amount of the public dont think we're being xenophobic enough and likely the major parties are gonna have to ramp it up a bit to get the anti-immigration vote back.

“The greeting I got was 10 out of 10,” Mr Dastyari said. “The signage was 10 out of 10. It was very clear I was purchasing halal products — something that I know many senators on the other side are concerned about. The sauce: fantastic. The chips, the meat, the packaging, the styrofoam container … incredible.”

The anti halal thing dosent stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever how can people beleive it and not do the slightest bit of thinking about it.

No company is gonna make their poo poo halal for the sake of it then pass on the price to the consumer, they make it halal to get a larger market share and make more money.

I like living in a big country with a small population. It gives us flexibility. East coast gets wiped out? No worries we can just move 50km inland and we're golden. If we start letting in every reffo with a paddle where's that free space gonna go? Where's our flexibility?

You made a fair point and believe me when I say some of us welcome efugees and immigrants with open arms.

3 factors to consider though
1.) The typical FYGM mentality in certain Australian populations
2.) Our desire for sprawling houses and big gardens (seriously big compared to some European dwellings)
3.) Look at the map posted above and look at the green bits on the SW coast and the east coast. That is the livable land

These factors make australia much smaller then the geography would indicate
