The Left appropriated the term "woke" from black jive talk of 90 years ago. That's a smug term and it definitely is a major gripe by MAGA against the Left.
It would have been better to use the term compassionate. I know it is four syllables but the Right couldn't ridicule compassion.
If an Independent senate candidate (eg Liz) reaches a quota after counting of first preferences and she is 129 votes in excess. Which 129 ballots get preferences distributed?
Although my intention was clear I don't think my vote will count. This is what the AEC says when I practice, numbering only 5 boxes.
I was hoping it would just say "you risk your vote being exhausted".
And in the section on "vote saving provisions" it says:
For Senate ballot papers the requirement for a formal vote is that when voting above the line, at least the numbers 1 to 6 shall be marked in the squares on the ballot paper (see subsection 239(2)).
For voting below the line, the requirement is that at least the numbers 1 to 12 are marked in the squares printed on the ballot paper (see subsection 239(1)). However, there is a vote savings measure that can operate where only one square is marked above the line (see section 269), or where voting below the line, at least six squares have been marked 1 to 6 using consecutive numbers (see section 268A).
An email or SMS seeking to influence your vote or opinion is rarely covered by these rules – they do not need your consent to send it, and do not need to include an unsubscribe.
One friend was getting multiple spams on his phone each day from Clive (from different numbers) with no way to legally stop it.
People here probably don't need the warning but the Trumpet of Patriot policies are sleazily disingenuous
He is almost sounding Left wing.
As if he wants to tax his own iron ore exports 15%. He refused to even pay his workers their entitlements.
Free education from Clive?
Cutting number of immigrants is unlikely since he wants to exploit them. All right wingers after like this: They are not interested in sensible intake numbers, only in stoking racism and division.
Even the net zero thing could be naively interpreted as: "we won't promise but we will try for net zero".
The superannuation thing could massively be thought to imply: "we will strengthen pensions instead".
He definitely won't raise minimum wages or NewStart to ensure families don't go hungry.
My friend repeated the process and this time got a sensible result (ToP were suggested last).
He confesses that what may have happened the first time is that, because ToP have scored the top position on the lower house ballot in his electorate, he might have kneejerk reacted to the order of appearance rather than suggested numbering.
Ah.
