Qld election tomorrow

[snag]

How about a last-minute snap-poll on who you think will take home the chocolates tomorrow - will the much fancied "Pile O'Shyte" take line honours for the Labor stable or will she be pipped at the post by "Kingaroy Freckle" trained by the LNP? Maybe a dead heat decided by the minor placings? Will one come home like a Bondi tram or are we in for a photo finish? Whaddya reckon?

Interesting to see that the Premier made the popular decision to open the border with NSW with the exception of Sydney, one day before the election. Planned much............

I hope QLD gets a coalition formed with the Greens. Why should Victoria have to suffer alone.

DUDE..!! That's just mean

[AZZA'S HJ47]

I hope labour dont get back in however i feel a hung parliament is the best result I can hope for.

[Blr243]

Never been a labout voter but I do like the way labour subsidised cluster fencing to help some graziers in Qld. ...and I liked the idea of Qld being kept safe by tight borders .....and now I like the fact that the borders open again because I want to go hunting in nsw

[Blr243]

And I did a postal vote so I don’t have to visit some stupid polling booth when I’m busy ....I don’t really like those nutters waving vote cards in my face

it certainly was

but l'm hoping for the opposite for QLD, you need us sicktorians to come up to the theme parks so you get jobs

The major parties get $9 of taxpayer cash for every '1' they get on a ballot paper, tomorrow is going to be 4 years worth of Christmas for ALP and LNP.

One of them will end up in power but don't give either of them your primary vote, they have both already sold out all of us to big corporations and other major donors and neither will do anything to fix the badly broken firearms laws.

i voted early , i'm in the waterford electorate and voted for kim miller, the one nation candidate . he's a bloke from the bush and from what i've heard from him , makes good sense . vote for the independant of YOUR CHOICE . a two party system is not democracy. quite often the independants put in terms and ammendments on bills that benfiet the little guy

i reckon deb freckle will do more for regional queensland , that's where my sympathies lie . she's been mentioning the bradfeild scheme of late which would be great for queensland . hope she gets in

is it any coincidence that "green" strongholds are in the major cities

Voted yesterday for the one nation candidate. I’m in the safe labor seat of Lytton just 10 minutes from Belmont range, unfortunately my vote won’t stop labor from winning.

Very disappointing result. Sad day for QLD.

It’s a beautiful day jimmy, I just had a hard physical week, arthritis and aching muscles. sunburnt , rain and hail ..now on a Sunday morning after walking my dog I lay with my feet up and a coffee . The birds are singing slim dusty is on the radio. and the sun is shining .. I might just go down the road for a big fat breakfast too

Seems the old Labor addage of "Vote early, vote often" has made a come back. Doing the boards this morming and there seems to be a awful lot of people remarking how they were told that they had already voted when they showed up to put their mark on the ballot paper.

Voter fraud on a large scale, if it can happen in the US, why can't it happen in Australia.

Yarp, and with the new QR code, scan and vote, system brought in by the QEC (at the behest of the Labor Party), to combat voter fraud, what could possibly go wrong? Pretty good system too, print off the card with the details of the voter along with a QR code to be scanned at the polling booth, whack it in the post to the voter, and, OH yeah we'll save some money be not even putting it in an envelope. I mean, if you can't trust Austpost workers, who can you trust?

Add to that, now, the numbers of people remarking that they didn't receive their postal vote kits. Will be interesting to see how many of the approx 1.1 million people who applied for postal voting didn't get their kit. I have a feeling this is going to get real messy, real soon. Or the QEC will sweep it under the carpet, to which they have a track record of doing.

voter fraud LOL Trekin ?? seriously mate if you have evidence of it then report to the electoral commission otherwise maybe quite the hydro and try the out door stuff

Mate, complaints from 'we the people' of QLD are already piling into the QEC, but thanks for your suggestion anyway.
And the QR code system, implimented at the behest of the Labor Party to combat voter fraud, does nothing to combat (in fact it helps facilitate) electoral fraud.

Ah Bill - how it must be so wonderful to live in your ignorant world where everything is perfect and govt is true to its citizens...
Have you seen the corruption charges across the board of all levels of govt of late ??FMD...it’s rife.

[Bugman]

Not a Queens Lander meeself...but have rellos there and a daughter. I guess after the result Ms Pilashit will now have to change there motto to "Queensland......1 hour and still 25 years behind". Hang in there all you good people.

[Farmerpete]

I keep saying this every time I see someone surprised by a Labor win in Queensland, take a look at the electoral map there's 50 seats stacked around Brisbane and the farther away you get the bigger the seats get.
It wouldn't matter if everyone outside the south-eastern corner votes against them Labor would still get in based on the Brisbane idiots support

[Bugman]

Yep. A bit like Sydney

[Bill]

Everyone carries a mobile ph so recording evidence of Election Fraud would be pretty easy one would think ??, seriously claims of widespread election fraud in Oz is delusional.

You, of course, would know what your looking for (and turn a blind eye to), but how many others do? As I said, complaints are already piling in to the QEC by the people themselves who were gipped out of a vote, and the Party's will start adding to that once the full results are finalise on the 10th. It will then be upto the QEC as to weather they wish to be seen as the independant electoral governing body, or take their usual stance as the Labor Party's lap dog.

[Quirinus]

The QEC using Chinese software wouldn't allow people to vote twice, would it.

My point exactly.... this is not a third world country that it can happen. Plenty of media and people with phones looking for their two minutes of fame.

What is shocking is that lots of people didn't get their mail in votes posted to them till the last few days. But i think the postal votes have a later cut off date.

What's shocking is what happened to one nation, even mad katter got three seats and greens got 2. Maybe you were hoping for ONP to win 30 or 40 seats?

Yeah, maybe you two could take photos of not recieving your postal ballot kit! And as we are not yet Chinese owned, there are no security cameras at the polling booths with facial recognition AI, yet. The media rarely cover any backwater polling booths, even in any electorate that might be worthy of a story, and even than they don't show up until at least 1 to 2 hours after opening. I have been voting for 40 odd years, and in my younger days, Labor were very open with their "vote early, vote often" mantra. Saw it at every State election many times over when handing out HTV cards in my younger days, it was an excepted practice back then to try to get rid of Joh.Did I report, no of course not, why would I, as back in my younger and stupider days I was a union delegate, and stauch Labor supporter.

There’s a lot of us in Brisbane that aren’t idiots. Labor’s main voting block/support has always been the unionists unfortunately they and “green” sympathisers have the numbers
Thanks to all those words of support from some of you guys . Another term of Palace-chook and her socialist cronies is almost too much to bear
