tl;dr: whoever is elected won't really impact your day to day life anywhere as much as anyone suggests it will

Unless the greens, because the greens.

I'd love to see what actually would happen if the Greens got in.... but in a parallel universe I could return from kinda way

[Birds]

I feel like the results would be so awful they would actually carry over to the other universe through some sort of Christopher Nolan-esque wormhole

[UNR33L]

Yer I'll probably just vote greens anyway

Some friends are trying to get me to help handout sex party fliers on election day. Apparently they were just talking utter nonsense and people were happy to grab fliers. After an hour they binned the fliers and bailed. Then huge pissup in the city with free booze and their area won a sex party seat so all these people were thanking them and congradulating them. Ahhh politics

What ever happened to that motorist enthusiast party?

[Odium]

Its still around, I saw on facebook that Juliette was out four wheel driving with Ricky Muir on the weekend...

The question is, what's he done since he got in, other than being the token joke senator every time theres a news story about how stupid some of the parties are.

Well they came to our website once...around election time...asking us to vote for them so they could help represent us. We might get another visit from them in the lead into the election.

Don't see this guy turning up to meets at car clubs or CAMS events and promoting motoring enthusiasm? Then again, I haven't really been paying attention cause politician.

I'm telling you when the sex party wins the whole country wins, unless you don't like sex

Motoring party was so last year, hunting and fishing party is where it's at in 2016. 2018 Will be year of the motorbike

On a serious note, I do like a lot of their policies...religions no longer exempt from tax...voluntary euthanasia...no internet censorship...rehab instead of criminalising drug addicts...

On 19 November 2014, Muir voted against changes to financial planning laws on which the Abbott Government and Palmer United Party had reached agreemen

Occuation: Sawmill Worker

Muir's senior adviser was electoral consultant Glenn Druery, however he was sacked by Muir less than a month later and was escorted out of Parliament. Muir stated that Druery did not "get along with the staff". Muir also hired former New South Wales state politician Peter Breen to advise him on legislation, but also sacked him on 6 August 2014. As of November 2014, five members of Muir's staff had resigned or been sacked.

It's tax time bruh

[Down_Shift]

Tax time, performance review time, bonus time...

[Odium]

Speaking of tax time...

Monday was, 3 days after we transitioned our accounting system to Xero, a day for Payroll to do their fortnightly thing... Got an email that went to everyone saying "Please be advised that there appear to be some anomalies in the tax being withheld and the accruals if sick or annual leave are taken. This is resulting in you receiving a slightly higher nett amount of pay this week. We endeavor to have this resolved shortly, and will be adjusted in the next pay run."

Fine, I've got no issue with that...

Nekminit, my Group Certificate shows up on my desk. So next pay run is actually next financial year... Fail
