Yay its election time.

Its time to make some really great choices.

Firstly - Do I listen to all the ads every 3 minutes of how good they are and how bad the others are or do I turn the radio and telly off and drive a nail through my eye???

Mmmmmm not sure which is less painful yet?

pretty much what my housebound old man says... pooor prick only has the tele for entertainment. for the next 3 months its hell..

I would suggest those who are thinking of voting for the ORP take a look at the LDP (Liberal Democrats) as they are the party behind the ORP. They have some scary policies like no minimum wage....

Yep, Already fed up with the bullsh!t adds and crap.

Thankfully, whatever happens, comes Sept 8, the ads stop,.......... whether the bullsh!t does or not is highly unlikely.

On reviewing this list, I'm torn between
australian sex party are their meetings orgies?
Australian fishing and lifestyle party
Shooters and fishing party
Smokers right party
Coke in the bubblers party
Or the pirate party.

To hard me thinks.

Actually the good news is that the ads will stop on 5 September as there is a media black out (TV and radio) for all electoral advertising from midnight the Wednesday before polling day.

At least that is something to look forward to. It doesn't stop all of the crap filling up your mailbox though.

Cheers

If they saved all the money on postage, I reckon they'd actually be able to do something worthwhile !!

The problem with elections is that every one thinks, lets run for parliament.

We have enough idiots in parliament now stuffing things up ( both parties ). They promise everything then change their minds once they get in. They do it every election (both parties) and the scary thing is that people keep believing them. ( both parties )

Did you read the fine print in their policies, these are the 'highlights'. Not very well thought out if you ask me.

• Repeal of marine parks declared since 1995
• Bag and size limits but no fishing licences
• No harassment of young drivers or "hoon" laws
• Allow dogs (under control) into National Parks
• Repeal of 'bikie gang' legislation
• Repeal of terrorism laws
• Voluntary voting

Hardly call that a list of highlights, more like popular statements for the lessor educated. Bit that I like is the Marine park thing, there is good evidence to say marine parks give an increase in fish stocks, Kiwi's lead the way in this, so much so that fishermen asked for more parks.
As for the caper of letting hoons back at it, that is stupidity for sure.

If you want to vote for a single issue like outdoor recreation, a vote for Katter or the Shooters and Fishers Party would be a far better bet (Katter has a great deal more policies than that, fwiw). They already have people in parliaments and an established framework for governance. The LDP are a bunch of lightweight nobodies trying to be somebodies. A vote for them is a wasted vote as they simply won't get anyone up. By splitting the vote, you reduce any chance of being heard on outdoor policies.

Katter gives preference to labor, no thanks

KAP president Rob Katter last night confirmed the meeting with the LNP, but dismissed rumblings that a deal had been struck with Labor.
"I can give you an unequivocal no," he said. "That is scaremongering from some disgruntled ex-candidates or the LNP."

Least the ads will stop in 4 weeks time. Unlike endless cooking, home renovating and talent shows dominating our Channels!

I cant remember the last time I sat down at night to watch TV... I gave up on it years ago when reality TV took over.
Rather play the Xbox shooting people.
