Aus post is a government-owned enterprise and it made a profit before tax of $23.6m for the six months to December 31. Surely it could pay someone to do a few hours a week. | |
Not every Australia Post outlet is owned and operated by Australia Post. | |
Many are LPOs or CPAs. | |
Dalgety is a CPA. | |
Probably 1 Labor 2 Nationals last Liberals | |
I thought 1 Nationals 2 Labor 3 One Nation 4 Antivax party 5 Liberal 6 greens. | |
Why would Clubs NSW suggest putting Liberals last given how much money they donate to them? | |
The Greens want to get rid of pokies within 10 years. For sure they’d want them last. | |
> Why would Clubs NSW suggest putting Liberals last given how much money they donate to them? | |
Because the Libs have had a couple of attempts recently to try and take them down. | |
They donate to the Libs because they're a major party and want the influence. | |
Don’t miss out on today’s Democracy Sausage https://democracysausage.org/ | |
Just another tip if you polling station has a question mark you can click on it and they will say what your chances of getting food there are.. | |
I went to a public school and got my democracy sausage. However the line to vote was 150m long. Ended up leaving and went to another place in a side street (wasnt too far to walk). Place had no democracy sausages and had no line whatsoever. | |
Is it really a democracy sausage if I don't have an option? | |
I LOVW YOU THANKS! | |
I had the choice of mustard, tomato sauce, bbq sauce or sweet chilli for my sausage. | |
Hey guys, just wondering when the things like "preparing for the driving test" and the declaration of completion has to be complete before the Ps test. | |
Make sure your logs are completed and signed properly, your hour/page subtotals are right, and you genuinely have the right amount captured. | |
Make sure all the supervisor declarations and stuff are signed OR make sure your parent/supervisor is with you in case you miss any and it needs to be signed before the driver tester can take you out. | |
So yes, get it all completed or they can't sign it off and take you on the road. | |
Thanks I appreciate the help | |
Was told by a Liberal vote botherer when I voted today that it important that i only number 1 box. | |
Infuriating | |
I really annoyed me to the point I'd like to report it. | |
Guess who didn't get a number? | |
They can say that. And you can ignore it. | |
What's the crime? | |
[deleted] | |
I call them parasites - the *"not really people"* who bother everyone going in, and I largely ignore them. Except for today. I had fun telling them where to stick their paper-wasting flyers. :D | |
Liberals don't even try to maintain the illusion they are the good guys | |
Consign the party to history. The next generation won't vote for them. They're done. | |
So I suppose if they told you to put your head in an oven do you want them charged for attempted murder? As it seems that you don't have any capacity to think for yourself. They're suggesting voting options it's up to you as an Australian citizen to KNOW how to vote! | |
Any pictures of the perp? | |
There's actually nothing wrong with this. Ive worked with a few left wing parties and have suggested the same thing to voters. | |
It's sad but if people attempt to number multiple boxes their chances of fucking something up dramatically increases, and theyll end up with an invalid vote or put highly preference a party they didnt really want. | |
Every liberal that approached me I told to bugger off | |
[removed] | |
It wasn't too much me i was worried about. It was the frail old lady they were badgering about it to behind me. | |
[deleted] | |
I voted the opposite ! One Nation 1, Libs 2 ... etc. The more right wing, the better for the state and country. | |
But now the Rum Corp has been voted out. Big sigh of relief 🥳 | |
Why would photos be needed. It's best not to victimise | |
It's very much not. | |
I'm not sure why you got downvoted. I think you're right, I think it might qualify as misleading or deceptive voting advice which I believe is an offense. | |
[deleted] | |
Good one. | |
I should have bet on it | |
But the odds were 1.01 lol | |
A bully is not a victim. | |
Yet somehow, all liberals are victims/= | |
Lnp voter? | |
It doesn't - hence why those black and white signs are outside each polling station. | |
What is illegal is what I posted to the daily thread where a Greens volunteer was telling people that if they didn't number every box then their vote would be invalid. | |
A bully can certainly become a victim - especially if the "punishment" far outweighs the "crime" | |
Doxxing is almost never the correct response and certainly not to a minor error in a casual conversation. | |
No, it's just not illegal to suggest that it's important to only vote 1. Just like it's not illegal to suggest that you label every box. Both are equally as sensible as the other, depending on your ideal preferences. Even in a world where a majority of voters didn't vote for major parties, in major v major seats (which are most of them) if you vote 1 for Labor or LNP, no further votes are necessary. | |
If people want to vote for every box? Cool. If people want to just vote 1 for a minor party, that's also cool. But there is no need to exaggerate something and say it's illegal, when it's just obviously not. Saying 'Just vote 1' and 'Number every box' is well within the established rules of the NSWEC, as is essentially every other variation of these statements. Short of saying it will literally invalidate your vote if you don't just vote 1 or vice versa, it won't be against the rules. | |
I'm not sure they're substantively different in nature, but I'll concede the technical difference of claiming invalidity is a more obvious violation. | |
In fairness, that information is correct for Federal elections. Could be an easy mistake to make. | |
So you vote lnp | |

Or I've actually read the rules. | |

Telling someone it's important they only put one vote above the line should be a violation too, for precisely the same reason, it encourages the voter to run with party preferences rather than casting them how they want and impinges upon the expressivity of our preferential voting system. | |
The only differences are the semantic difference between 'must' and 'important' which are quantitative but not really qualitative. | |
Show me the law then | |
[deleted] | |
"Important" isn't really qualitative (or quantitative – how important?), but "must" means it's mandatory, and suggests it will be invalid if you don't. | |
Most of these legal requirements whilst stated in the Electoral Act are ordinarily deferred to the onsite NSWEC Returning Officer via regulations related to the Act who are functionally in charge of endorsing the Act. The RO will ordinarily direct the offending material removed if they believe it violates anything, however if the Party/individual refuses, they will document the evidence and flag it. If the RO disagrees with a proposed violation raised by another party's volunteer, the claimant can document the proposed violation and make a formal complaint with the NSWEC who will assess it after the election. | |
As detailed in the Act, handouts are highly regulated and must be registered but signage and other forms of advice (ie verbal) are quite deregulated outside of the following: | |
Placement (can't be on public grounds etc) | |
Lying or misleading information about candidates (Candidate X is a crook or anything like that) | |
Directing someone to vote informally or incorrectly (Don't vote, just draw dicks on the ballot. Vote 0 in all boxes etc) | |
Bans on impersonation of NSWEC staff/signage/handouts (NSWEC says your mum smells or just generally pretending to speak on their behalf) | |
The relevant section of the Act is below. | |
https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/act-2017-066#pt.7-div.14 | |
I question the obviousness of the context, but I accept the rest of your argument. | |
I personally wish we disallowed parties being anywhere near polling booths and that we made clear how to cast a null ballot should you wish to. | |
It's my assertion that the average person will treat "You must" and "It is important that you" in the same way for any activity where there is not immediate risk. | |
So it is illegal | |
When there are rules that can make something totally invalid if not followed, most people won't. | |
You must: your vote will literally not count if you don't do this. | |
It is important: this will make sure your ballot is the most accurate representation of what you actually want. | |
"It is important" is like "should". People don't treat "should" and "must" the same. | |
I (M18) need some resource to be able to contact emergency services abroad for my partner (nonbinary they/them) who has attempted to overdose. They're only a few months underage (17 but 18 in June) and can't call poison control or an ambulance for fear of getting abused by their mother in retaliation. I live in america and can't get transferred from my local emergency number and none of the chats or numbers i've tried to call take international numbers or will call on my behalf. Can someone please help? I don't know what to do now and it seems really really urgent. | |
​ | |
Update: They're in the hospital now thank fuck | |
Crosspost to r/sydney and maybe someone can ring for you with you on a voice chat. That sub is more active than here | |
They need to get themselves to the hospital, it's really important. I hope they made their way there as I see this post is 2 hours old. | |
Do you have an update? | |
Hope they get the help they need. | |
Sending my best wishes. Love from a spouse to a transperson | |
