4thofelevenAt the polling station, Phil Barresi and the Liberals seem to be continuing his policy of bombarding the electorate with advertising; two large banners, a handful of posters and three people handing out how-to-vote cards, utterly drowning out the much more subdued Green and Labor advertisements.
(For that matter, I was still getting automated phone messages from the Barresi campaign at five PM last night. God, I hope he doesn’t win back this seat.)
No sign of Family First whatsoever; I guess whatever momentum they once had has finally died.
Did manage to convince my mother to vote for the Sex Party; their opposition to internet censorship persuaded her to give them a shot. Hope they do well; it’s an issue that didn’t get much discussion during the campaign.
Then again, not much of anything got discussed during the campaign, with both parties adopting small target strategies and the Greens marginalized by the media.
Not sure if I’m even going to bother watching the results come in.
