My thoughts :

1. I think it's going to be very interesting.

2. I don't like either Lib/Lab candidates.

3. I'll probably end up voting for a minor party. Most of our family/friends/neighbours are feeling this way actually.

4. It's going to be a close finish IMO.

At the end of the day neither party will be able to deliver much given the global recession and continuing effects of rising interest/inflation rates. Australia just doesn't have the money in its coffers. And that's a sad and confronting fact.

If Labor is stupid enough to make incredible promises esp given the current economic context ...it will only make it easier NOT to vote for them.

Also regarding the ALP team....not one of them has ever held/managed a portfolio. They're coming into the fray with no experience. Bottom line? The timing to bring in learner drivers to drive the biggest economy in Australia could not have been worse. And that's a red flag 🚩

Anyway .... jump in and share your thoughts on this state election.

Cheers

No-one likes either Libs or Labs.
Both are lost causes.
Hopefully they'll 'hang' in Parliment.

I have paid zero attention so far but I just seen a Liberal add.

OMG - This creepy fella wants to be Premier of NSW.

I see a Labor win, however there will be a strong crossbench, maybe not enough to force a minority government, but certainly enough for Labor to have to accommodate them.

I reckon you might be right too.

God help NSW if Labor gets in at this particular time. Not 1 team member has ever held a portfolio. Zero experience. A bunch of L platers at the wheel. Wonderful. Not. 😐☹️🥺

We haven't seen the right wing media scare campaign yet.

I see a decline in the Greens vote (the tide is going out - that'll tear Lefty a new sphincter when they drop to about 8% if lucky) - a rise in the One Nation vote primarily over all the Aboriginal nonsenses - a slight reduction in the overall percentage held by the two majors to around 30% each, meaning one of those packs of bastards will still hold the cash seats on the gravy train and FU NSW as a whole (more adept at giving the people a serve than at serving the people - they know BETTER than the people, you see - pharken peasants) - and a few more Independents of various kinds.

HERE (flings canard in the ring):-

"It’s just been revealed that NSW Finance Minister Damien Tudehope holds $65,000 worth of shares in Transurban – the same company he sold NSW motorways to.

In 2020, Tudehope voted against Labor’s proposal to place toll-free periods on all motorways after they opened, including the Transurban-owned Northconnex.

He then sold Westconnex to Transurban for $10 billion in 2021.

While taxpayers in NSW have been unable to keep up with skyrocketing tolls under the Liberals and Nationals, Mr Tudehope has been lining his pockets.

NSW voters deserve better than a government that cares more about their own profits than whether or not everyday people are getting food on the table."

First the LNP lose...then we hear the thunder ... enter stage left Labor armed with feminism and Abo poo .....

We're all doomed .....

Well - they can't use the Abo Peril after trying to give away our National Parks.... must be a New Yellow Peril .... must be the Tranny Peril or similar.... paedophiles, enablers, and groomers riding on the backs of little children being fed hormones at too young an age to know WTF they are talking about and will forget tomorrow anyway.... that should do it......

Perrottet is another crook!!!


Quote:

Perrottet’s office has confirmed that it was Perrottet, as NSW Treasurer, who personally signed off on the $5.5 million grant to the Wagga Wagga-based Australian Clay Target Association. The Klaxon published the exposé in October 2021 — yet no major media outlets covered the news. In even more remarkable revelations – which Perrottet does not deny – his approving the grant was illegal.

Quote:

The $5.5 million grant to fund a 1,000-person convention centre at a gun club in Wagga Wagga was the only one – of over 90 grants – in the NSW Murray-Riverina region that went to a non-government entity.

One disappointment in my area is that we have a x high profile sports person standing that I lost a lot of respect for after learning he is a scumbag politician.

Premier Dominic Perrottet admits calling Health Minister Brad Hazzard when his wife was sick and needed an ambulance


Quote:

New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet has been grilled over whether he was given "special" treatment to skip the ambulance queue when his wife was sick.

Quote:

Premier Dominic Perrottet has admitted to calling NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard when his wife required an ambulance.

Mind you, I'm pretty sure all of the pollies would get preferential treatment when it comes to things like this so I guess it's not really fair to single him out... especially a few days before the NSW State election.

But, having said that, I hope he and his government get the biggest thrashing in history on Saturday. Not that the replacement will be any better, of course (as last year's Federal election has proved).

Indeed.

I don't vote for half-brain politicians, the Libs, Labs and Nationals

Besides, 37kms is too far to travel to the nearest polling booth, and to the nearest PO mailing box for a postal vote

I'd need to be compensated for fuel, time, and wear & tear to do a 74km round trip

At today's prices, out here in the bush, the fuel would cost me about $11, then I'd probably buy a drink and a muffin at the garage, another $10

There is always a high risk of kangaroo damage to the car, a roo has hit the car once already out here, causing an estimated $4,000 worth of damage

The road is narrow, hilly, twisty and full of pot holes

I'm afraid the Establishment Swamp will have to stick their compulsory voting up their fat asses

For me, it's cheaper and far less trouble to pay the despotic fine

Frank wrote on Mar 19^th, 2023 at 9:09am:

Yep!

The Libs and Labs are past their use-date, and I'm sure they are starting to realize the days of honoring themselves are coming to an end

From now on, the people will need to be honored. Not the Establishment, not the Swamp, not the Multinationals or the woke Elite, but the people

It matters not who you vote… does your vote really count?

Yes - just don't put any numbers on the forms.  If you put them all 8 or whatever your vote is simply invalid.

Just re-did the training but had to pull out anyway.... sick as ... I always do the re-training even though I know it all, just in case and to refresh, and I re-do it until I get 100% on all the quizes.  That means next time they know you know and are fair dinkum about it so they give you a better job.

I'm sure Labor or Liberal will pull out their socks to stack their votes like Aussie did in PA.
But hey, it's all part of the 'legal' system.  ;)

I voted yesterday as I was in town anyway, and noticed the 'how to vote' party faithful were gathered to waylay the voters.  The polling place was a church hall, with a walk of about 10 metres from the footpath to the door.  The how to vote mob were lined up on either side of the path so one had to walk a gauntlet with these people on each side. They were not pushy or aggressive, but even so I feel they could have been further away. Those who actually want these cards can easily approach them, not the other way around. 

I checked later and the law says they cannot be within 6 metres of the poling place entrance, This lot were right on the limit, and setting up so the voter had to pass between them very closely was not in keeping with the spirit of the law as I see it.

I did too in the Upper House but he didn't run any candidates in the northern suburbs for the Lower House, so that was unfortunate.  Hopefully he'll expand from the west and south west next time.

I'll watch it on TV. It's a pity voting day didn't coincide with the day I've planned to go to town for supplies, which will be next Mon or Tues ... ah well, I'll just have to pay the fine

It's like the old west out here, hook up the wagon, ride into town and load up with a months supplies, bring them back home and store them away safe from possums, mice, rats, and ants. Thank heavens for fridges and freezers

We couldn’t find him in the lower house either. Doesn’t matter we voted for him where we could. I reckon next election we all get behind him and start recruiting for him. I’ve emailed him already about that.

https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/one-nations-mark-latham-policies-for-nsw-election-promising-cheap-electricity-and-better-schools/ar-AA18KXrj

"One Nation's Mark Latham policies for NSW election promising cheap electricity and better schools" 

Let's have a closer look:

"The early 20th Century American President Calvin Coolidge was famous for his very short answers and lack of energy.

When the poet Dorothy Parker was told of Coolidge's death in 1933 she responded, 'How can they tell?'

This is how most people feel about the 2023 NSW election campaign. There are few signs of life.

It's hard to tell if Dominic Perrottet and Chris Minns are running to be Premier or auditioning for a future career as funeral directors.

Both are listless, lacking in inspiration and solutions to the State's[b] serious problems in energy security, cost of living and school education".

Excellent points, Mark, brilliant start to your argument....

"This is what brings the major parties down: they are more worried about imagery than answers."

Another excellent observation, Mark...so now - what about YOUR policies? Let's read on:

"The only way to keep Eraring open is to halt the transition to a so-called green energy economy".

Oh dear; withdrawal from the Paris agreement, in opposition to the latest IPCC report. Have to admire your 'independent' spirit, I suppose...but will it win votes?

"We would lift the professional standards of teaching plus pay our best teachers more to bring high-achieving school leavers back into the State's classrooms."

And how will you pay for the extra funding required to do this?

"That means Direct Instruction, phonics in literacy, strong behavioural standards, lots of testing and data assessment and individual student learning plans".

All of which means increased investment in public education, Mark.  Higher taxes?

"In NSW, we need intent, not imagery; solutions, not spin."

Indeed....

A few years ago, I think a state election? I was walking the dog early and hadn't voted yet, walked past the local school and the Greens Muppet tried to hand me a how to vote card. I had a freshly laid dog turd in a bag in one hand and pretended to hand it to him in swap for his how to vote card. I didn't but he nearly took it, all the other spruikers had a laugh.

Even a dog turd for anything from the Greens is a bad deal.

Sydney has been ranked as the second least affordable city in the world.

The NSW capital has been awarded the dubious honour for a second year in a row in the Demographia International Housing Affordability report.

Sydney came second behind first-placed Hong Kong, while Melbourne also appeared in the top 10, coming in at number nine.

Adelaide ranked 14th, Brisbane 15th and Perth 50th.

Ha! Hubby and I were reading that article early this morning and yes we were sipping our lattes. It’s part of our Saturday morning routine after taking a walk with our Golden Retriever.

Interesting hey. ALL our properties are in Sydney. And in the best suburbs of Sydney ie close to water and up high with water and district views. And 20 minutes by rail into the CBD. People cannot afford to buy our homes. They can only rent them. That’s where Sydney is at now. Our kids and future grandkids are all set up for life! We’ve done our best as parents.

But if I’m to be honest ...I have to thank my uneducated, hardworking economically minded thrifty European migrant parents who came to Australia in the mid 60’s as frightened teenagers with nothing but hopes and dreams (and assisted passage - yes the Australian govt essentially paid for them to come over). They taught me the importance of buying property and buying as much property as I can in the best possible position in Sydney. They taught me the importance in being a decent and fair landlord to tenants and how important it was to be thankful for everything. The attitude of gratitude was imparted to me. They taught me the importance of education and that meant University. They taught me the importance of planning, saving money and investing. They taught me the importance of providing for kids and future grandkids in an ever changing and uncertain world. They taught me the importance of looking out for the fatherless, the widow and for children. One other thing they taught me was this : to thank God every day for such a beautiful country as Australia because it truly is beautiful. And there’s no other country like it anywhere in the world.

Now .. whilst here why do Greens wear a lot of pink? Hot pink even? Even their hair is dyed hot pink. Or purple.

Is it because they want to look like complete idiots?

Edit : And WTF is going on with all that self defacing scribble they think passes for tattoos? And I don’t get the never ending piercings all over their faces, their heads and torsos even. I’m beginning to think they all had sus Art teachers and Textile and Design teachers at school. I honestly don’t know what else to make of such a conscientious effort in self debasing sabotage 😞🥺

Mark has been great tonight giving it to David Elliot the Nationals and Labor.

He gave it to Simon Holmes a Court as well with Teals in live interview. Latham said they need to register as a party since they have the same policies they're funded and selected by the same person.

Will he break the pastor's arm?

Dominic Perrottet just gave his concession speech.

He is quitting.

The result is in. When Antony Green calls it you know it's a done deal.   ;)

What are my predictions?

Labor will:-

. set up a state Aboriginal voice thing and pretend it's a great thing to do for everyone
. push more and more sheilas on us even when they are being paid more per actual hour worked than men
. promote further division with bringing in more multi-cultural types
. will go further than Liberals said was their idea in handing over your national parks, meaning that in the future only extreme action will take them back as nationally owned free range
. will promote the cities far more than the bush (where most national parks are) and will create a huge divide between the two

That's a start.....

So, how did Mark Latham do?

Looks like he will hold his upper house seat and be there for another 8 years.

One Nation had 2 upper house senators likely to increase to 4 or 5

We have 2 forms with voting here one for lower house the other for upper house results usually take a couple of weeks to sort out preferences

Oh and NO Federal or State LABOR govt is touching our money or our assets. Why? The Labor Leaders in office are exactly like us....experienced property investors 😂🤣😆

Yes, though Shorten had a good shot at bringing some equity into the system in the 2019 election ... and failed  because, well, 50% plus 1 win elections.

But reality is catching up with you: the public increasingly recognize the RW for the greedy s**ts they are, which is why the Coalition is now unelectable.

But Labor is in for a rough ride as housing ownership continues to fall.

Shorten - arguably the richest property investor the ALP has ever had.

So, what will change (for the average Australian) now that Labor has won the NSW election?

My guess: nothing.

For example, Chris Minns has already referred to the Covid pandemic in the past tense.

But, we should have already known that from watching what happened after the South Australian State and the Federal elections last year.

As I've said many times - there's no difference between the ALP and LNP anymore, at least for the average Aussie. Hasn't been for a long time.

Yep

Note the relief on Perrotet's face.  Like Morrison, couldn't wait to concede

Speaking of Morrison, he was there dressed up at some show biz event, along with Turnbul and Lucy, no hint of shame on their stupid faces

The NSW election might spur the ejection of Dutton now, long overdue

All a bunch of corrupt no-hopers regardless of party

Same old game of pass-the-parcel using Aussies as the football.  Sports-politics

Means nothing although I voted 1 for One Nation and wrote 'No thanks' on the small paper.  I'd vote Latham in as prime minister but doubt that opportunity would be handed us

And yet, unlike you, Shorten had the moral compass to want to bring some equity into the system, even to his own disadvantage.

Hard to touch imaginary assets  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Glad to see the back of NSW Liberals and their plans to introduce land tax

Waiting to see if Labor, despite all their promises to the contrary, try to slide it in

because we know it was not Perotete's idea

No, he was told to slip land-tax over the public

It cost him the election as he knew it would, but still he pushed it

Labor knew/knows land-tax would topple the Libs which is why they claimed to oppose it

Obviously Labor will be subject to the same orders from the same group who destroyed Perotet

so let's see what happens now

and how long will it be before Labor claim that reluctantly, they're going to have to implement land-tax

Minns will have few options
and so will NSW property owners, because by the time the next State election rolls around, land-tax will most likely be a done deal

followed by all other Australian States

I voted for the Party to stop Corruption in Politics.
...it only made sense. ;)

lol... why doesn't this surprise me?

From today's The Sunday Times in Perth.

That's not a "democracy sausage", it's more like a "capitalism sausage".

::)

He's a silly sausage of a PM if ever there was one.
He and Biden were made for each other. ;D

One great aspect of Labor victories is the corruption angle that they milk throughout the campaign. Yeah, they are going to come in like massiahs for working people and clean up government. And you know what happens? Nothing.

Labor has always supported capitalism so not sure why you think you've offered some great insight into anything. You just heard someone say something, probably by some lib who was trying to pretend he wasn't but hurt about losing on the weekend, thought it sounded good and come here and repeated it. :D

I saved a business that my then business partner had almost destroyed. I paid off over $120K in debts incurred by that partner. So I have very good reason not to consider myself a failure.

My HBS was a revelation to home brewers who had bought Packs with hardly any malt from other HBSs. It about killed me to have to close my doors but the arthritis made it impossible to keep going. As anyone who has been in retail knows, retail means standing up all bloody day every working day.

I opened on Sunday, only HBS open in the Adelaide Plains. That got me some regular customers. Unley oval wasn’t far away and late Sat afternoon when a game was on there I would plaster the cars with leaflets about the shop. That got me regular business from a guy who followed—West Torrens?—and bought up big every time his team played at Unley oval. I know some would just sit in their shop or close early, I went out and got business!

The NSW capital has been awarded the dubious honour for a second year in a row in the Demographia International Housing Affordability report. Sydney came second behind first-placed Hong Kong, while Melbourne also appeared in the top 10, coming in at number nine. Adelaide ranked 14th, Brisbane 15th and Perth 50th. Ha! Hubby and I were reading that article early this morning and yes we were sipping our lattes. It’s part of our Saturday morning routine after taking a walk with our Golden Retriever. Interesting hey. ALL our properties are in Sydney. And in the best suburbs of Sydney ie close to water and up high with water and district views. And 20 minutes by rail into the CBD. People cannot afford to buy our homes. They can only rent them. That’s where Sydney is at now. Our kids and future grandkids are all set up for life! We’ve done our best as parents. But if I’m to be honest ...I have to thank my uneducated, hardworking economically minded thrifty European migrant parents who came to Australia in the mid 60’s as frightened teenagers with nothing but hopes and dreams (and assisted passage - yes the Australian govt essentially paid for them to come over). They taught me the importance of buying property and buying as much property as I can in the best possible position in Sydney. They taught me the importance in being a decent and fair landlord to tenants and how important it was to be thankful for everything. The attitude of gratitude was imparted to me. They taught me the importance of education and that meant University. They taught me the importance of planning, saving money and investing. They taught me the importance of providing for kids and future grandkids in an ever changing and uncertain world. They taught me the importance of looking out for the fatherless, the widow and for children. One other thing they taught me was this : to thank God every day for such a beautiful country as Australia because it truly is beautiful. And there’s no other country like it anywhere in the world. Oh and NO Federal or State LABOR govt is touching our money or our assets. Why? The Labor Leaders in office are exactly like us....experienced property investors 😂🤣😆 Hard to touch imaginary assets  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D In your case Dumbarse Drunk ... absolutely! Mine are very real. Yours are the imaginary ones. The only thing that’s real about you Dumbarse Drunk is you being a fat lonely failure. Oh and an ignorant tosspot! I saved a business that my then business partner had almost destroyed. I paid off over $120K in debts incurred by that partner. So I have very good reason not to consider myself a failure. My HBS was a revelation to home brewers who had bought Packs with hardly any malt from other HBSs. It about killed me to have to close my doors but the arthritis made it impossible to keep going. As anyone who has been in retail knows, retail means standing up all bloody day every working day. I opened on Sunday, only HBS open in the Adelaide Plains. That got me some regular customers. Unley oval wasn’t far away and late Sat afternoon when a game was on there I would plaster the cars with leaflets about the shop. That got me regular business from a guy who followed—West Torrens?—and bought up big every time his team played at Unley oval. I know some would just sit in their shop or close early, I went out and got business!

It’s also why we Liberal voters aren’t too worried. The Labor PM is essentially a capitalist with an impressive property portfolio. Liberal voters love that about him. Why? He identifies with how we invest. And he will protect his interests and therefore ours.

Your egregious self-interested  cynicism is deplorable.

Your tweedle dee - tweedle dum system will come a cropper as the 2 party system disappears under independents facing up to unaffordable  housing for increasing numbers of people.

Wrong again, I'm very comfortable; I was able to buy a house when houses were affordable.

But your egregious indifference to the consequences of the current Oz housing ponzi - on the lives on many citizens - is deplorable.

No, he said he bought a house some time ago. You are the one renting, old Larry, renting a squalid Housing Commission flat.

And what exactly is it that you imagine individuals, small groups and so forth should do about that issue?  Clearly you are lost in the realm of belief that expression of a fine feeling somehow equates to positive action - cogito ergo est - and you constantly accuse others of everything wrong about our society and culture that none of those individuals is able to fix.

It's always "you" with you... "you did this and you did that" as if every individeual in our society is and was responsible for every ill over which WE have zero control or even input - yet you never once offer a substantial solution to anything, but persist with the imaginary idea that guaranteeing a job to someone who chooses to live way out in the Ning Nang Nong will somehow repair all his social ills.  Clearly the receipt of royalty money didn't resolve any issues for those flooding into Alice Springs on a binge spend-up - spending like sailors... so why would an income derived from some nominal job be any different?

Obviously, individuals can't do anything about the evil consequences  of blind ("invisible hand") neoliberal market ideology, among which is the blindly self-interested Oz housing ponzi.

But officials in charge of economic policy can. I'll let you know if my communications with relevant people bear any positive results.

See above; awareness by politicians  of the cause of the problem is the start to solving the problem, and of course the electorate also needs to know the causes and solutions to the OZ housing ponzi.

Garbage narrative.   

1. A JG applies to ALL citizens.

2. Royalty and dole money are addressed in another thread, they both need to be replaced by a JG. People working - selling their time to earn money to support themselves -aren't so inclined to piss it against a wall.
