by the Liberal Party after her previous - Islamophobic - comments emerged. More than 500 Tasmanians have already voted in that seat. Whelan is no longer an official Liberal candidate but is now standing as an independent. In the unlikely event she is elected, the Liberal Party may benefit from her vote.
Rodney Smith, professor of politics at the University of Sydney, believes the lack of announced policies is a significant downside to voting early - though you are far more likely to run into candidates at pre-polling than on election day. If you pre-poll, you’ve only seen a tiny smidgeon of the policies of the parties. Seriously, the Labor launch was Sunday in Brisbane . The Liberals are not until next week.
Of course, pre-polling takes a bigger toll on independents. They don’t have access to the fundraising machinery of the parties – so when their supporters hand out how-to-vote cards at pre-polling all day every day for three weeks, it’s for ideology and love, not money. That kind of personpower can be hard to marshal for three weeks.But there’s one other really important reason to save your vote until election day. At the last federal election, I pre-polled at the Sydney Town Hall.
Plus there are never any democracy sausages – or falafels or lamingtons – at pre-polling, which, as Orr points out, also affects those institutions hosting the voting. You don’t get the sausage and the schools don’t get the income.
and sadly most of the people voting are dumb as cement
Yeah so don’t vote labour and your children’s future will be prosperous, labour wants your children’s children to pay for there over priced BS. Don’t let them bankrupt this great nation!!
