So i fullfiled my civic duty today

[Wullie]

Slick seems more intolerant, a bit grumpy, and off his game today.

Hangover or lack of fiber?

[callmeslick]

bored by idiots, wullie, and especially so in light of the fact we were able to maintain a couple of threads this week on a civilized, intelligent level. Then, of course, the cretins from Texas roll in.......

[Wullie]

Aww, now you're down to name calling.

Cretins, idiots, etc.

Life in the lib lane gettin' ya down?

Have a gin and tonic and eat a big salad.

[Pudfark]

Slick, just hang out in the bible thumper thread....you can say anything you want there and ya don't have to prove it.....it's a safe haven for ya....and it's the only civic duty, your qualified to perform....

[fatman]

Translation for Bearkiller: Fattie voted today. The election was called by the recently appointed Prime Minister, a woman who took control over her party away from a dull turd with zero public relations skills. The more conservative party, which currently holds a minority in their House of Reps, might end up winning the election, thus sending the woman PM packing.


have I summed it up OK Fatman??

The potential of a hung parliament in Australia, following yesterday's
election, has raised questions about the constitutional situation.

The final decision of how many seats each party has will probably not be
known for some days but, once all results are in, if it is found that no one
party has a clear majority, negotiations will commence with the Green and independent members to enlist their support.

The Governor-General is vested with constitutional powers to commission a person to form a government but, by convention, these are never used in an arbitrary sense.

The duty of the Governor-General is to commission the leader of the party which can prove it has sufficient support in the lower house of the
parliament to survive a vote of no confidence. Until then, the incumbent
government continues in caretaker mode.

If, in the future, those independents who had pledged support, decide to withdraw and support the other party, then the Governor-General will, upon being certain that the other party would survive a vote in the House of Representatives, commission the leader of that party to form a government. If the situation is likely to continue to be unstable, then the
Governor-General will seek a consensus on holding an election.

The number of electoral votes gained by any one party is, in a
constitutional sense, immaterial - although it may influence the non-aligned members. It is all about votes of elected members in the House of Representatives.

The whole process is based on providing the country with the most stable
government possible.

With regards

Philip Benwell
National Chairman

Bummer..

On the other hand..

Yeah but atleast the dude can do his job unhindered and what ever happens it will fall at his feet

He currently has the support of most of both of our houses.

We hope to screw that little party up in November.

He'll blame Bush and slick will blame Ruggy and Pudfark.
