A direct appeal to 50% of Australia's population, from easily the best PM we have had this century. 👍

We have had a woeful list of PM's over the past 22 years. I don't rank any of them highly, maybe the best of a bad lot.

Some of them were shockers. Hopefully the next one does better.

Neither will those left hanging on the end of a phone as a result of having COVID, wanting to vote then give up seeing their phone credit disappearing quicker than Whistler was able to extinguish fires in the rural fire brigade.

Stop drinking, it shows in your posts.

Bag me all you like, but if you bag what the RFS stands for you are a total low life. You would not dare to even try that in any public place in Australia, pull your head in.

there is phone voting in Australia for people with covid, would you deny them a vote on a toll free number?

Go back to sleep, statts - and when you wake up (?) polling day will have started in Oz.

Meanwhile, 4 million+ have already voted in pre-poll voting, including UM's own far right-wing pundit, Sport.

Yes he was. But he wasn't slagging off the RFS badge that was unreasonably whipped out as a defence.

BBC News is carrying a live feed on the Australian elections:

More information on Australian news and the election can be found in BBC World News, Australia section:

Ashamed to be English since 23rd June 2016 when England voted for racism & economic suicide.

Disgusted that the UK is “governed” by a squalid bunch of economically illiterate, self-serving, sleazy and corrupt neo-fascists.

UPDATE.

Huge swing to the Greens, Climate Change has been the number 1 issue (sorry sport, well not really, you got it wrong big time)

Potential outcome. in order of likelyhood

1. Minority Labor win with Greens and Teals holding power in cross bench (40%)
2. Slim Labor majority (40%)
3. Coalition minority government (3%)
4. Coalition to retain government (2%)

The deathnell of Australia thanks to the slimey greens. Not over yet though, a lot of counting to be done. Climate change is still a load of rubbish.
