Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!

A man of good sense!

I dunno - he's hopped right into bed with two other nutjobs - bernardi and lejdyjohn so I'd question his sense - plus he's supposedly a bigger nutjob as roberts.

But the real fun is that hanson is claiming he quite, he says he was dumped from party The story with the latter is they wanted him to stand aside so having renounced his British citizenship roberts could be slotted back in and said no.

Jesus. I'd consider running m'self, but I am a dual citizen. At lwast I know. Where do they dig these people up from???
Also, Lambie has just resigned.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Do you think we need to have a referendum to fix this problem?

 

[Mr Soak]

Australians support a move to make life easier for politicians? Hardly.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

TODAY'S THE DAY !!

 

[Miss Chicken]

Keeping my fingers crossed that someone had and unexpected doesn't happen.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

AND it's an overwhelming and very satisfying YES!

 

[Miss Chicken]

YES! YES! YES!

Fantastic!!!

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

Great decision. 130 out of the 150 - yes. All states yes.

Full results

 

[Australis]

Sorry my neighbours in Western Sydney dragged the vote down a bit. Aside from that, most satisfying, especially when Abbott's electorate had one of the highest yes votes

 

[Miss Chicken]

Is that because there is a high migrant or religious population in Western Sydney?

Very happy (rural-dwelling Christian) Yes respondent here.

As someone pointed out in one of the zillion or so articles I've read on the subject today, the result of this otherwise absurd survey has made it just about impossible for any parliamentary nay-sayers to challenge whatever bill finally makes SSM legal in this country. The numbers don't lie and can't be spun, even by the hypocritical pseudo-Christian usual suspects.

It's nice to be able to be proud of (most of) my fellow citizens for a change.

 

[Mr Soak]

Yes here by 52.something to less. Suck that Barnaby.

Oh, whats that? There's a slim chance you won't be around at Christmas?

Double win!

Also, WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,WorldCup,etc.

There's a second bill being put forward with even more discrimination relaxations being put forward for the Conservatives, but no one seriously expects that one to go anywhere.

Migrants from countries that are mostly conservative and religious. The data breakdown is fascinating, I think it's on the ABS website.

Amen to that. Made a terrific day even better.

This forum hides from me. Unless someone has recently posted in it and its on the 'home' page I can't find it. Doh.

See you next time I fluke a sighting...

So what do people think of the first Ashes team. Feel sorry for Renshaw, but he has been out of form and Bancroft has been in form. Paine is also an interesting decision. Thought Nevill would return, but Paine has been making runs.

Likely Squad: David Warner, Cameron Bancroft, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, Peter Handscomb, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird.

Haven't found an age breakdown yet as to who voted what, have you? A;ll I've seen is who, by age, actually voted.

 

[Australis]

They would have by electorate, I believe, not sure.
