The Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians
May 24 is the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. This is an important Feast in our country because Our Lady, under the title “Help of Christians”, is a spiritual Patron of Australia, along with St. Mary of the Cross MacKillop.
The title “Help of Christians” is of very ancient lineage, with Saint John Chrysostom, who died in 407, having used the title in a homily. According to Fr Johann G Roten, the invocation of Mary under the title of Help of Christians is part of the oldest prayer addressed directly to Mary, the Sub tuum praesidium, found on a papyrus dating from the third century. The prayer was initially associated with the Coptic Orthodox Christmas liturgy.
Under this title, the Virgin Mary is also honoured by many Chinese Catholics, particularly at the Shrine of Our Lady Help of Christians of Sheshan, in the Diocese of Shanghai.

Duncanm,
Er, no.
Chelyabinsk was 65 feet diameter and yielded 0.5 megatonnes. The 350 giraffes one is 5800 feet diameter. So around 90 times the diameter. Volume is then 90 x 90 x 90 times the volume of Chelyabinsk or 729000 times. Assuming the same velocity (everything comes in at at least escape velocity or higher) and density as a first estimate, that gives you about 729,000 times the mass and kinetic energy, multiply by 0.5 megatonnes or 365 gigatonnes yield. Or around 6400 Tsar Bombas.
It won’t buff out.
Fat Clive denies knowing the little liar from Geelong’s Neighbourhood watch council.
Please let 350 giraffes hit canberra but only when parliament is sitting.I dont mind taking one for the team and its going to hurt a lot less than reading Ken Worth reminding us why he’s a failure, not that we needed reminding. I hear the furniture shop is down for remedial work after someone strolled in for a look see. Faulty should have spent a bit more than the 10 or 20k that he claimed.
Also, “2000 Mules” is unsupported nonsense.
https://www.readtangle.com/otherposts/2000-mules-fact-check-stolen-election/
For a start, no photos in the movie show anyone dropping more than 6 ballots at a time anywhere. Would any of you that have watched the movie care to confirm that?
The idea of “mules” came from only a single anonymous witness, which is strange considering they claim to have the cellphone IDs of the people doing the dropping and there are 2000 of them to talk to.
“How to make ten million dollars out of MAGA chumps in 2 weeks” might have been a more accurate title.
Which makes sense in the grand scheme of things. The more time that has elapsed since a controversial event, the less chance there is that any authentic evidence has remained undiscovered, and so the probability that new claims are unfounded goes up.

Genuine questions – why is the CHRISTIAN part of these sites so important? Does it add extra credibility? Are they Gospel sites or something? What makes the sites CHRISTIAN?
If said sites are the batshit tunnels/pizza/koo dettat/hiding in plain sight/you just wait/blood turns to jelly ones, and a reader correctly identifies the content as wishful thinking mixed with bullshit – does it suddenly make them un-Christian to point that out?
Very clever.
Instead of defunding the police, our very own geniuses in NSW simply charge potential cops $17,000 to join the police.
Hence, no-one joins (except for KK’s son).
NSW Plod have cancelled the next scheduled training course for new officers.
Way too clever.
Correct me where I’m wrong;
The ID (i.e. privacy) of cellphone users was not released, only the tracking data.
Thus they don’t have the ID of individual cellphones, only the tracking showing where each cellphone travelled & the timing.
I haven’t seen ‘2000 mules’ yet but they have footage of the same people making multiple drops and visits to GOTV locations, and the like.
For some people claiming to be Christian is merely a marketing tool.
Apparently barnababy is in leadership trouble.
Not climate changy enough.
Petrol prices on high rotation.
That’s an abbreviation for “I’m making this up”.
Which is fine if it is posed as a hypothesis, but you didn’t say it that way.
They don’t just have tracking data, they also have video surveillance of dropbox visits to cross-match with the former.
Making people pay to join the police seems very American (always reading about people doing police courses prior to getting recruited*).

The voter turnout numbers from the AEC site are astonishing.
Nearly 30% of Australian voters boycotted the election.
The lowest turnouts are in the inner city seats consecutively, look at the comparisons to 2019:
Electorate, Turnout %, Enrolled, Marked Off, Turnout % Relative to 2019
Melbourne 61.4 114447 70270 -28.22
Sydney 61.83 125421 77550 -24.47
Brisbane 62.46 125241 78223 -28.05
Perth 62.63 122719 76856 -26.9
The highest turnout in all of Australia was just 86% in Page.
Just look at these numbers, a blood bath!
and on, and on, and on, not a single electorate isn’t impacted.
Somebody had better say something about this because this is historic, and if no explanation is offered people are going to start theorising about the election.
From old Fred:
CDP doesn’t exist anymore, Monty. Try to keep up.
There was a bit of squabbling in-house and they went into receivership and were disbanded by the court. Fred Nile (yeah, he’s still alive) is too paranoid about potential successors stabbing him in the back, so the old dinosaur keeps stuffing things up. Though the cynic in me wonders if the Libs just didn’t need them anymore, with Optional Preferential now being a thing (they likely would have propped them up, otherwise).
I do know a few religious types who didn’t know who to vote for without CDP or FF. Which is odd, because they were never that great.
Anyway, LDP was always going to split the vote with Clive and Pauline, but the big surprise was the Legalise Cannabis party. They outpolled LDP significantly, despite it being a policy of LDP to legalise it.
In Australia, personality politics or single issue is what gets you a senate gig. LDP might have to change strategy when they change their name.
Someone here last night mentioned CBA Term Deposits at 2.25% for 18 months.
AMP is offering 2.9% for 12 months (minimum $25k).
Those numbers ARE astonishing: turnout in our compulsory voting elections is usually above 90%.
Twostix’s post should be a standalone post. It tells us much about the historic disengagement of Australians in this election and the unpopularity of the establishment parties.
It’s also breaking news: I haven’t read a word about it in the establishment media.
No they don’t. They have phone data of people going to multiple drop boxes and footage of people who they geo-traced, acting suspiciously at single drop box locations e.g. going early in the morning, coming from interstate, taking photos (proof for payment) and dropping off multiple ballots. However they do not have footage of the same person going to multiple boxes.
This is the flaw that lefties use to debunk the movie. D’Souza claims they don’t have the footage from some states because they either (illegally) didn’t turn the cameras on, or the state refused to provide it. For the places where they did get footage, there wasn’t enough provided or it was unclear. He rightly claims that it isn’t required because the geo-data is irrefutable.
I cross referenced the turnout numbers against the voting numbers. They’re identical and those turnout numbers are up to date, seats like Moreton are 100% counted are reporting only 65% turnout.
So don’t let anyone say they “just need to update the figures” or something dumb. No.
Wow. That is unbelievable. 30% of Aussies not worrying about a fine! Pull the other one.
I’m calling shenanigans. What was the previous record?

so I take it the DLP is kaput too? Too much infighting I suspect
My theory: unvaccinated and covid state power aggrieved people boycotted the election.
I know two people that did. I held my nose and voted for Chaos but ultimately put LNP before Labor at the bottom – but it disgusted me to do any of it, I fully understand them, I couldn’t have cared less about the entire thing in the lead up.
The establishment problem, if they address this and confirm that people stayed home en-masse….uh-oh!
1. Mandate? lol!
2. The number becomes a rough proxy for how many unvaccinated people there are….a lot more than 5%.
2a. But the lies Feb 2021 – Feb 2022! A rotten state and system from top to bottom, it must fall, surely!
3. Why has nobody said anything about this historic event straight away? Very sneaky are our overlords as they weave their sneaky narrative of a New Leftwing Australia without mentioning that 4+ million people boycotted the whole thing (absolutely allowing the green win in Brisbane and at least a couple of teal wins) – there was no magical surge, there was a boycott, a loss of votes from the system creating the illusion of an increase in others.
5. They have created millions of militant activists who now reject the entire system.
I dunno, Jupes.
The AEC is historically remarkably lenient if you have an excuse to present when they drop the ‘Show Cause Why We Shouldn’t Fine You’ slip in the mail.

I think they run afoul of new naming legislation much as LDP did. LDP used a loophole to run and will simply change their name for future (likely back to Liberty and Democracy Party). DLP just didn’t contest. I suspect they’ll come back in some form. They even spelled Labour properly, but still got whacked.
Good news about banks finally offering to pay for having your money to play with.
I might mosey on down to my local branch and see what they are prepared to offer. Even if I agree, I’ll keep half of it back for the even better offer which will be forthcoming.
I had a similar notice for NSW council elections. The fine for council election is higher than that of missing the state election, which is higher than that of the Federal election. The more useless the election, the bigger the fine.
Anyway, I just sent back as my just cause that, “I didn’t know there was an election”. This was apparently sufficient, as I didn’t hear anything else on the matter.
And yet he’s never advocated for violence against others.
DLP had a Senate from Vicco – John Madigan. Unfortunately no longer with us. There was some big bust up between him an the DLP. The smaller parties just can’t afford this sort of nonsense.
I think it’s worth voting in the senate- considered spoiling my ballot for HoR but voted formally in the end.
Maybe their votes went missing, Two stix.
We’ll wait for Sancho’s verdict once he consults Koshie.
I mean it’s just about the percentage the freedom parties looked like getting according to poles.
You don’t boycott when there are parties pushing for freedom.
Yes there is. All the footage shown was cross-matched with the geo-data. Often the mule was the only one there because it was in the middle of the night. One woman shown had even crossed state lines to visit multiple drop boxes.
Fail! Try again.
I replied to an AEC “please explain” letter very simply:
“I voted” was the text.
No further communications.
I suspect if you don’t incriminate yourself, they won’t bother to proceed.
Twostix,
Cool your jets.
I have a candidate explanation.
Those turnout figures surely must be the in-person Election day turnout, which does not include the other ways of voting. If you get the General Declaration Votes by Division data, add the Declaration votes, Pre-poll votes, and postal votes into the turnout from that first sheet, you get average 90.8% participation. Slightly lower than previous years, but not by much.
So now to test this hypothesis by finding what they define those columns to be, what actually do they mean by “Turnout”.
Under the FCS, the Government guarantees deposits up to a cap of $250,000 per account-holder, per ADI.

AEC results for ASTON, VIC
Top right hand corner has this:

Turnout:72.33%
Informality:3.19%
Near the bottom there is an analysis of the vote by booth.
In the prepoll analysis, for all electorates, the number is 0.
So assume these are counted as a poll day vote.
It does say 100% counted TPP in every seat I looked at.
The turnout is closer to 80% across NSW but 70% elsewhere.

Jupes sums up 2000 Mules well.
I have not watched but seen it reviewed by Robert Barnes on Viva Frei and also a good detailed interview of Dinesh D Souza on Megyn Kelly last week where Dinesh goes into the footage issue.
One of their criteria for the geo tracking was looking for people coming from certain “get out the vote” organisations. Can’t remember where I saw it but one mentioned is the Stacy Abrahms led one in Georgia. Dinesh mentioned the mules taking off gloves after doing this drops. This was apparently because of a mule being arrested somewhere based on his fingerprints.
It is not a problem most places to drop your own or family members votes but it is illegal to do it for others in most places. $10 per ballot was mentioned and can see some of the mules taking photo of their drop as need to prove they have done if before paid.
Apparently the budget for getting the geo tracking info etc was US$2m. Some may recall Steve Crowder did a great segment soon after election by checking voter roll against actual physical addresses, Google earth and whether courier company said could make a delivery. Got a student to visit over one hundred dodgy addresses in Las Vegas.
Can’t remember which podcast mentioned it but Trump pulled in over $100 million after the election to fight the result. A bit more funding of geo tracking stuff and street work might have got a result.
However difficult to do in the several weeks from election to swearing in of Biden.

He thinks not, of course, but the hypocrisy and venom seeps out at times.
Heard a second-hand story, from a bloke I’d trust, about a Navy camp in upstate Georgia being locked down for a week after their ballot boxes were counted as 90% Biden.
I suspect the 30% comprises voters who either voted by mail or came early. The answer’s not obvious from the spreadsheet. But an implied 40% refusal to vote in the electorate of Melbourne (for example) sounds implausible.
I’m happy to be proved wrong. In fact, I’d be delighted to be proved wrong.
the hypocrisy and venom seeps out at times
that’s for sure
The turnout figures are astonishing at first glance. As I mull over my own attitude to this election, I become less astonished.
Perhaps voters have preemptively disenfranchised themselves rather than waiting for some bugger to do it to them. The last politically decisive act they can make.
It’s all stops out by the marxist establishment in the US to completely destroy the place- socially and economically. They are very angry that Americans didn’t vote for the lesbian bitch in 2016 and this is their punishment. Of course it was always their intention to the destroy the place.
DC- district of corruption. Very true.
Anyway, I just sent back as my just cause that, “I didn’t know there was an election”. This was apparently sufficient, as I didn’t hear anything else on the matter.
Presumably this would work given that the AEC probably didn’t fulfill the notification requirements?
The question is: will the ABC run a boat score card like they did with Abbott?
1. If I hear any more remarks from commentators or pollies saying that the Libs have to reset their policies to appeal more to the working class/ middle class vote, I’ll throw up. I don’t want to vote for people who can reset their policies. I want to know what they believe in and be confident that they will follow their convictions.
2. Reported that 12/18 of the poorest seats are held by the coalition while 7/8 of the wealthiest seats are held by left parties/ groups.
3. I’m told that the Nats haven’t lost a seat for ten years
4. Very “healthy” discussion here. A lot of posts coming in the bag the right/centre right. I suppose that is why they visit the site.
5. BTW, I’m a great fan of Dinesh D’Souza and some of the critics here should watch more of his lectures especially at YFA.

That’s a long shit the sneerers are taking all of a sudden.
No idea. This was back before council elections were synchronised – and I genuinely had no idea there was one.
“the Libs have to reset their policies to appeal “
The Liberals don’t need to “reset” their policies. They need to revert to their policies….you know, such policies as free speech, individual liberty, religious freedom, small and medium sized businesses….all trashed under Morrison.
If the ON, LDP and UAP preferences flow the way one would expect, the coalition looks set to return three senators. Good chance The Greens could pinch a senate spot from Labor.
Such an irregularity is grounds for a challenge in the court of disputed returns. Not voting is an “illegal practice”, and there is a risk that potential voters were intimidated.

The voter turnout numbers from the AEC site are astonishing.
Nearly 30% of Australian voters boycotted the election.
Let’s do some Numbers numbers.
AnAl got a touch over 30% of first preferences, say 32% to allow for sloppy counting. Only a little over 70% bothered to vote, say 72%, same reason.
So AnAl got 72% of 32% of the total electorate as first preference, which is a very light touch over 23% of the total electorate prefer him. What a convincing (NOT) mandate!
guilty
So the theory behind 2000 Mules, you’re telling me, is that legitimate votes were dropped off for $10 a pop, to bypass vote restrictions put in place by Republican officials who were trying to suppress the rights of voters. So each of those votes were cast by real people, you are saying, so morally they are legit even though you can point at some stupid regulation applied by partisan hacks for the express purpose of denying basic human rights.
Even if what you set out is all true… there is no actual problem here, just GOP ratfscking.
It is interesting to compare postal votes and election day votes
Most seats have labor, national and minor parties much the same, but the liberal election day vote is down by about 5% compared to postal votes and the green election day vote is up by as much as 10% compared to postal votes
As Sumner Miller would say, “Why is it so”
So what is the accusation?
That the difference between the noted “turnout” figure of, say, 70% and a normal turnout of around 90% is largely stolen Fweedom votes?
Is that it?
For those fulminating about ‘turnout’. If you look at the turnout figure at the top of the AEC page (First Preferences by Party) and compare it to the counted votes total at the bottom, they are the same. So the figure they are reporting is the number of votes counted (currently 73.49%).

If nothing else it is sloppy use of terminology by the AEC.
Their own glossary describes Turnout as
If what you say is true, they are not reporting turnout. They are reporting “votes counted so far”.
Of course, that is the same number when they are all counted.
Good practice would be to do a control total of ballots cast on election night to ensure they had a number to balance back to as votes are “counted” (or more correctly “classified”) in ensuing days.
This control total would be “turnout”.

I don’t know which way the ON and LDP Senate preferences went but there were no preferences to the Liberals, Labor, Greens or Nationals on the UAP how-to-vote recommendations. Their preferences were limited to the “freedom” parties and the Christian Democrats and they expired after six above the line votes.
Yep.

In May, the Shanghai government coined a new phrase that terrified residents there: indoor disinfection. It means entering private homes to disinfect and kill bacteria.
If the owner is at home, it’s lucky because the owner can try to intercept the spray or move things around before the spray. If the owner isn’t home, then the home will not only be sprayed without any direction and made a mess but cash and belongings may be missing.
In the name of reducing the risk of spreading the virus, residents are prohibited from group phrases. They can only receive government-allocated supplies or buy unusually high-priced food or even poor-quality or expired food from designated platforms.

A gas seller that supplied 7% of the eastern Australian market has collapsed due to soaring global gas prices, the first significant casualty in the country from the global gas supply crisis due to sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Any other information on this?
High gas prices force out NSW retailer Weston</strong>
NSW’s Weston Energy has become the next casualty of soaring wholesale energy prices, losing its gas-retailing licence after being put in what managing director Garbis Simonian called an “untenable” position.
The company will cease its gas-trading operations immediately after becoming unable to finance cash flow requirements of its trading portfolio after gas prices tripled since the start of the year, including over 180 per cent since April.
“Rapidly rising energy prices have put hundreds of Australian businesses, and thousands of jobs at risk,” Mr Simonian said in a statement.
“The fact that Australia is the world’s largest exporter of coal and gas and yet our domestic prices are at unprecedented high levels, highlights real policy failure.”
The exit of Weston from gas retailing follows the demise of small Queensland electricity retailer LPE, which last week told its 20,000 customers in Queensland to go to another retailer, as it struggled with cash flow requirements.
Several smaller energy retailers have been caught in a squeeze caused by soaring wholesale electricity and gas prices, which has increased the cash needed to satisfy the surety needed to secure their trading position. Weston typically offers customers wholesale-based prices rather than take-or-pay contracts based on fixed tariffs.
Spot gas prices have been trading in the $30-$50 a gigajoule range for weeks, driven higher by increased use of gas for electricity generation amid coal power outages and lower than usual renewable energy generation. High international prices for gas are also thought to be having an impact. Domestic gas prices were trading below $10/GJ for most of last year and early 2022.
Some gas-based manufacturers that rely on wholesale prices have warned they may have to shut down their plants should current high prices be sustained.
Mr Simonian voiced frustration at the inaction of successive governments to rein in gas prices for east coast domestic industrial users, particularly when Australia is one of the world’s biggest exporters of LNG.
“The circumstances now buffeting Australian energy markets have been foreseen for some time, but little has been done to prepare Australia’s energy producers and users for this impact,” he said.
Weston said it is working with the Australian Energy Market Operator, the Australian Energy Regulator and the Essential Services Commission to ensure gas supply continues to its customers.
The news comes just days ahead of the AER’s release of the default offer electricity tariffs that will apply for households and small businesses on standing offers as of July 1 in several states.
The default offers are expected to rise from last year, despite the former Coalition government having promised lower prices under its watch.

Fair point. I’m pretty sure that LDP recommended Libs 6th for above the line Senate voting. Seems to me that, if you are correct, the UAP wasted their Senate votes by not including a potential winner in case the minors failed.
2. Reported that 12/18 of the poorest seats are held by the coalition while 7/8 of the wealthiest seats are held by left parties/ groups.
But, but, but, eeevilll capitalists can’t get those seats, they belong to the noble maaaaates of the rich.
LPE set to exit retail energy market as customers depart
LPE, the small Queensland electricity retail company, will become the first casualty of Australia’s energy crunch, shedding retail customers as it struggles with cash flow requirements, though its CEO denied the company had mismanaged its risk and was instead a victim of a failed energy market.
A jump of 140 per cent in the wholesale cost of producing electricity has stoked fears about the capacity of households to cope with bigger bills, while the viability of smaller retailers has been questioned.
LPE on Thursday told its 20,000 customers in Queensland it could not compete against its rivals, sending shares down 15 per cent.
Chief executive Damien Glanville told The Australian Financial Review on Friday the company expects to entirely exit the retail market as its customers heed advice to seek alternative suppliers.
While some analysts have accused struggling companies of failing to prepare, Mr Glanville denied the company had mismanaged its risk, insisting it was hamstrung by the soaring wholesale electricity price.
“It’s cash flow. Our hedged positions are brilliant. It’s really about how you manage cash flow and your obligations to [Australian Energy Market Operator AEMO] and the only way you can do that under the archaic method is to retract your customer numbers to support it,” Mr Glanville said.
“We’ve been supporting it all this time, but the market keeps getting worse and worse and at some point you conclude that it is safer to retract than grow.”
Mr Glanville said LPE’s hedging strategies have consistently been in the money, but these would pay out five weeks after the company was required to pay daily credit to AEMO, which were linked to the wholesale electricity price.
“We had $10 million in cash sitting with AEMO, which for a small business is a lot of money,” said Mr Glanville. “And it can vary, Monday it was a million dollars, and today it was $220,000.”
Finger pointing at state government
Mr Glanville said the root cause of the LPE’s cash flow issue is, however, the soaring cost of wholesale electricity.AEMO’s daily capital security is linked to the wholesale prices, which have rallied significantly in parts of the country most dependent on coal for its generation.
AEMO last month said Queensland endured the highest average wholesale electricity prices in the first three months of 2022, totalling $150/MWh. AEMO said this is the second-highest average price recorded for that region in any quarter since the NEM began.
Much of the rise in wholesale electricity generation prices stems from soaring prices for coal amid a global energy crunch fuelled by Russia’s war in Ukraine that left much of Europe looking to switch away from Moscow’s gas supplies.
The situation got worse when some 30 per cent Australia’s coal power capacity was offline as the country’s ageing infrastructure requires regular maintenance and suffers unplanned outages.
“Why did Annastacia Palaszczuk let this happen? If the state government owns the assets, and they wanted to keep them to make sure energy prices were fair and competitive, what is she doing wrong?” Mr Glanville asked, referring to the Queensland premier.
Mr Glanville said he expects other smaller retail companies to also announce a contraction as wholesale electricity prices show little sign of abating.
The two main political parties have tried to sway voters, saying they will cut power bills, although analysts insist little can be done in the short term to reduce bills, and analysts said it will expose some companies.
“Think we’re about to find out which electricity retailers have been skinny-dipping,” said Dylan McConnell, research fellow at the University of Melbourne’s climate and energy college, citing a quote from Warren Buffett about only when the tide goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked,

Yeah, and I think if they meant only physically in person they would not have put “turned up” in those scare quotes and they would not have doubled-down by saying “via any method”. https://tallyroom.aec.gov.au/HouseTurnoutByDivision-27966-NAT.htm
National “Turnout” of 73%.
So that’s where the protest vote went. The 27% of refusers is more people than the total of every ‘minor’ party and the Greens combined.
Two-party preferred, ALP: 5,068,668
Two-party preferred, LNP: 4,647,690
First Preferences, LNPs: 4,009,201
First Preferences, ALP: 3,737,779
Refused to participate? : 4,566,356
The refuseniks are more than the 1st preferences of each of the 1st and 2nd place parties.
That definition again…
Not final, yeah, but what are the chances they will go up 25% during the week?
More AEC figures…
Enrolled electors: 17,228,900
Turnout (??) : 12,662,544
Number of postal votes received: 2,071,085
National average postal votes: 5.25%.
They’ve received back 2 million postal votes. OK, how does that add up? There should be 664k postals if that’s a 5.25% of votes, or it’s 904k postals if percentage of all electors, and yet the received count is more than double those?
Okay, so one possibility is they have a bunch of 1,400,000 postal votes that are still in envelopes and haven’t been counted. Does that also mean they haven’t been examined to determine which voter to tick off the roll and so they have not been counted as ‘turning up’ yet? Because even so that is still 2.2M who didn’t bother to vote.
You sound like that moll who interviewed Jordan Peterson. Just as wrong too.
No. I am saying that (Democrat aligned) NGOs ILLEGALLY collected ILLEGITIMATE votes from aged care homes, universities, letter boxes and the like, then distributed them to 2000 mules who dropped on average 190 ballots each at multiple drop boxes for payment.
munty
So the theory behind 2000 Mules, you’re telling me, is that legitimate votes were dropped off for $10 a pop, to bypass vote restrictions put in place by Republican officials who were trying to suppress the rights of voters.
No stupid, that is not what is claimed, much as you might like to pretend that it is. Read again, and try (difficult for you, we know) to comprehend.
Monty’s throwing his lot in with the lobsters.
LOL. Yes but decided to drop them all off at a couple of dozen different drop boxes in the same electorate. While wearing rubber gloves.
Nothing to see here.
Ah crap, I posted in wrong thread. Here we go again:
Turnout by state, as per https://tallyroom.aec.gov.au/Downloads/HouseTurnoutByStateDownload-27966.csv

Is… is that the final turnout figure?
Looking at the candidate votes by type, prepoll columns are zero. In fact, all but normal and postal votes are zero. No idea what that means… other than that the data isn’t final?
Even if it’s not final, if turnout swing is a mere 2% less than normal, then the swing to “None of the Above” was greater than the swing to ALP.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DruXykiH5V8
No they’re not you fucking retard.
Moreton is 100% counted and reporting 65% turnout.
The same data for Moreton in 2019 reports 91% turnout. Have they not finished counting 2019’s votes yet you midwitted clown?
You are by far the dumbest person on this site. Dumber than m0nty even.
These votes were legitimately cast, you’re telling me, but they were “illegitimately” delivered according to some stupid regulation. In other words, you are supporting the disenfranchisement of these voters through meaningless red tape put in place by Republicans specifically to disenfranchise these people.
Even if this scheme was real – which is an extremely long bow to draw given the scant evidence for it – it would be delivering votes from real registered voters and would be righteously supportive of small-d democratic principle.
It is possible that numeracy and literacy are not high on the AEC’s list of employment qualifications.
But London to a brick, I’ll bet they’re inclusive . 😀
As I expected. On AEC site the voting figures have just been update to 73.59% turnout with a matching 73.59% total count. Touche.
100% counted of those returned?
Don’t give AEC too much credit for how they report.
The purpose is to seed as many contra-narratives in early as possible so as to destroy the incoming government throughout its term.
“If you’re explaining you’re losing” they love to say as they unleash another fabrication.
1. Electoral boycott.
If that resolves simply move onto
2. Labor only won because of the Liberal civil war and the liberal blue blood millionaires threw the election to them.
Don’t worry about details, logic is power’s muzzled gimp.

Try scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page you linked to.
They still have over 14,400 envelopes yet to be opened, which is 13k postals and 1200 declarations. That’s more than the Greens vote in Moreton.
As of 12:46 (latest update) The AEC reports 65.16 of the vote counted in Moreton. That figure would be based on the total enrolment as they are yet to discover how many voters voted.
On AEC site the voting figures have just been update to 73.59% turnout with a matching 73.59% total count.
Rather absurd tracking two different terms that will apparently always have the same value?
No, you stupid moll. They were ILLEGITIMATE. The ballots of dead and demented people stolen from aged care homes where they are still on the rolls. Ballots from students stolen from unis where they no longer attend. Ballots stolen from letter boxes. Ballots from illegally registered deros.
In some states, every registered person had a ballot sent to them. Many people went to vote and were told they had already done so. The Democrats have been vote harvesting for years. In 2020 they increased the operation massively in targeted electorates.
Gee the United States disgusts me now.
@twostix
Before one goes around abusing people it often helps to get hold of a few facts.
In Moreton the booths have been counted. All in.
Absentee votes 0% None
Provisional Votes (whatever they are) 0% None
Declaration Votes (whatever they are) 0% None
Postal Votes 8.6%.
Let’s have a bit more courtesy. No one is going to be convinced to vote for a party represented by numbskulls.
They have geo-tracked 2000 mules going to a minimum of 10 drop boxes and a minimum of five NGOs. But they were just dropping off a couple of votes for Grandma right M0nty?
You idiot.
mutley just can’t face the hard fact that the left is a corrupt kleptocracy
In new government news:
Marles reports OSB has turned back their first boat under Labor & will continue to do so.
Chalmers reports inflation has a way to go yet.
Gee the United States disgusts me now.
Australia disgusts me now.
Here’s the rub.
Drop kicks like Sancho believe all is above board.
Yet who counts the postal votes?
Have you guys heard of initial scrutiny, or the dirty count, followed by the behind closed doors fresh count…the count going on now?
The count only done by AEC public servants, obviously all militant lefties, and that must be assumed…..counts the postals and Re -counts what the scrutineers see on the day.
The count arseholes like Sancho know are happening.
Is that open to becoming a problem?
I’m only an average joe, but at least I ask fucking questions, knowing the criminality of government.
This is from the police force who can’t get enough recruits because they want to charge $17k for training:
The NSW Police force is considering changing the iconic light blue uniform currently worn by officers to a darker shade, the NSW Police Minister Paul Toole announced on Tuesday.
Details of the possible change were outlined at the Police Association of NSW Biannual Conference being held in Wollongong where the Minister said there was a committee currently looking at the changes and expected a decision in the coming months.
A number of prototypes have already been manufactured and trialled by officers with a new dark navy blue shirt with mesh sides lining the garment from the hip to the underarm, the most likely option if the change is given the green light.
Minister Toole said it was a colour that was a “key feature of the uniform … which flatters all body types.”
He added that a committee was working on the uniform with more details to be announced in the coming months.

Not in Victoria they didn’t.
I used theirs as a guide and shuffled the Libs in to prevent the vote exhausting. Plus juggled Clive’s boy down and pushed PHON up.
Exactly my point above. No matter how much the Libs have been a let-down, I refuse to wave through a Greens/ALP senator. And that is exactly what you are doing if you vote six minors and none of them get near a quota.

I stand corrected.
Declaration votes include votes in person outside your registered electorate. I am enrolled in Curtin but voted in a Swan polling station.

I was speaking with a woman at hairdressers today she owns a childcare business . She said they are barely surviving after Covid and flu and would go under if wages went up . Many small businesses would suffer same fate.
These votes were legitimately cast, you’re telling me, but they were “illegitimately” delivered according to some stupid regulation.
Stupid is as stupid does. munty will never, ever, accept that the DemonRats have ever fudged a single vote.

Check out the AEC website results HoR by division.
Postal and Ordinary are listed for my division, and the sum of those two matches the numbers in twostix’s list. There’s zeros for “Absent”, “Provisional” and “Declaration pre-poll”. There’s a separate page listing the declaration pre-polls received, so it isn’t zero.

May 24, 2022 at 4:17 pm
Good vid, Zippy. Thanks for posting.
Here’s a guess as to why PrePoll columns are 0.00:
A Booth might only get 1,000 votes, counting and the 2 candidate Preferred figure are done and dusted by 7:30 pm.
At a PrePoll Voting Centre there may have been 17,000 votes cast and PrePoll has been counted on the Saturday night at the last 2 elections, Sunday Morning in 2016, and Tuesday onwards before that.
Since the DRO won’t have the figures for PrePoll until maybe 10 o’clock, he has to take a punt on which 2 Candidates he instructs the ROs at the Booths to distribute Preferences to.
This is possibly what happened in Hinkler, the DRO didn’t have the PPVC voting numbers so he instructed the ROs to distribute preference4s to Pitt and Jack Dempsey, who was presumed to do very well against Pitt.
The same probably happened in Griffith, preferences were distributed to Roberts and Butler, since they’d finished 1 & 2 in 2019, but in reality
Chandler Mather for the Greens had finished First , Roberts for the LNP 2nd, and Butler 3rd.
If Prepolls are counted Saturday night in NSW and Victoria, then it’s possible that the same mistake was made in the Seats the Teals ended up winning.
I expect they are called Declaration votes because before the Internet you were required to declare you were on the roll of your home electorate (which the AEC had no way of checking at the time). Now the roll is electronic and can be seen at home and away polling stations.
@Sancho 5:45
For Senate I vote below the line. In NSW LDP had Libs 6th on the above the line HTV. I voted 1 LDP first choice; 2 ON first choice; and 3 Molam 3rd Lib and and 4 UAP first choice . After that I went to Shoebridge, No 1 Green and gave him 75 and then worked my way up.
Twostix has a series of very interesting comments I’m going to compile into a guest post after dinner. I’m only just catching up to comments around 3.30ish.

I wouldn’t mind betting LDP bumped the Libs out of the top six in Victoria because of their pathetic opposition to Dan Xi Man.

They should do a simple tally of votes cast on the Saturday night.
That gives a control total to balance to as votes are “counted” (ie allocated to candidates).

Anti-working class vote of the elite fuels teal victory
LILLIAN ANDREWS
In the mountain of commentary about the billionaire-backed “tealslide”, nobody has picked up a glaring fact: the animosity of the most affluent electorates towards the Liberals is not because of climate change or women’s equality.
Those are the excuses that make them feel good about their vote. Underneath, it is because the Liberals have started to speak more about the daily lives of the working class than the pet causes of socially smug doctors’ wives.
Since the days of John Howard’s battlers and Labor’s lurch to the loony left, we have been witnessing a slow swap in the traditional ground occupied by the two major parties, akin to the reformation in the US of the Democrats from the preferred choice of southern slave owners into holier-than-thou, Hollywood-approved luvvies. Wealthy phonies despise this shift.
Liberals being unseated by teals, and to a lesser extent Greens, reveals a sector of exceedingly well-off Australians who cannot stand to be confronted with the daily lives of people who are not like them. They do not want “their” party to heed the views of those beneath them. You know, those grubby little people who have to worry about things such as making ends meet for bills, food and daily survival.
Despite their fake sincerity and motherhood statements about wanting a better world for all, the cashed-up elites care more about pandering to their own luxury concerns and neuroses than dealing with regular old blue-collar issues that affect people they strenuously avoid having to have anything to do with. This is no different to the days when the born-to-rule class sat in grandeur, looked down their noses at the peasants and could give them a swift cuff around the ears without fear of retribution. That is the society the platinum progressives want to recapture, with themselves safely ensconced at the top of the social order where they believe they belong.
Couple this with the so-called women’s vote, and this points to a real likelihood that the inner-suburbs affluent vote – which apparently is meant to make our country into a kinder, more caring place – is being driven by upper-middle-class women. These blue-blood types desperately want reassurance that they are still the most important people in the world. They secretly yearn for the Liberals to cosset them the way their mothers and grandmothers enjoyed, but instead get social work degrees so they can tell their friends how they’re helping the less fortunate. Then they vote for anybody who allows them to shift their attention away from the people who may make them realise what being less fortunate really means.
What we are seeing in Australia’s most Scrooge McDuckian suburbs is a dirty, relentless class war, hidden under the guise of progressive politics and greater equality. The silence of platinum progressives when struggling businesses in Sydney’s poorest suburbs were going under and families suffering during Covid restrictions is a case in point. It is the ultimate piece of hypocrisy to pretend to care about progress and equality while doing everything possible to hurt the poor and demolish the social structures, relationships and institutions that the commoners still care about.
If the Liberals had a clue, they would realise what the platinum progressives are really after and let the teals, Greens and Labor eat each other over the inner-city vote. That fight is only going to hurt Labor elsewhere – as we are starting to see. The Liberals could continue down the path of becoming the new party of the ordinary people and revamp what were once core Labor values of protecting the working class and defending their rights – but without becoming lunatic socialists or captive to the increasingly irrelevant unions.
They would recognise there are many Australians who still care about things such as being able to say what you like without fear of somebody being offended. They would understand that the wellbeing of the working class goes hand-in-hand with the spread of liberty and would unwind the increasingly authoritarian policies that have undermined centuries of hard-won social freedoms. They would support candidates who genuinely hold these values.
They would shake off the obsession with victimhood politics, and instead champion the value of hard work and genuine merit rather than promotion based on identity. They would leave fringe progressive causes behind, rather than trying to pander to them, and would focus squarely on the things that directly affect everyday Australians’ quality of life.
Most important, they would ignore screeching demands to let sulky upper-class women dictate policy and understand those women will be satisfied only with a party that places them at the top of the pecking order – never one that governs for the unwashed masses. Then, and only then, might they take seats from Labor and find their way back to power.
Lillian Andrews holds a bachelor of laws and has a strong interest in political philosophies, political strategy and social movements. She has never been a member of a political party.

That was already dealt with over the two hours between that comment and yours.
After a brief flurry of excitement provoked by Twostix, the benign facts were admitted and the ambivalent conclusion eventually arrived at by multiple people independently that the “turnout” discrepancy is explained by unallocated ballots and the AEC’s use of the phrase “turnout” is completely misleading. The figure for turnout cannot be changing when no more ballots are being cast, so it isn’t really a turnout figure. They don’t have to know who people voted for to know how many ballots have been cast, it should be enough to count the total – which they have already done, so why not include it in turnout??
To continue Twostix’ example, Moreton has had 69808 counted so far, plus 14400 unallocated envelopes(uncounted ballots), which is 84200 probable votes from 107128 Moreton plebes, so disregarding informal/spoiled mail-ins they are on track for 79% turnout.
This is quite a bit more than the AEC’s 65.26% BS they show at the moment, but much less than the 90% expected, and so a sizable protest non-vote.
This still supports the concern in this thread about legitimacy of mandates etc, just not as bad as it first appeared.
It was in todays papers

but the reality is that 71,000 have been counted, LNP has only 27,000,

So it’s hard to see how the Greens can’t be called the winners here?

Validating Postal Votes is done manually.
The process is conducted at AEC HQ, and the valid envelopes are then sent in small lots to the counting centres.
The entire process can take 3 weeks.
So, no, they don’t know how many votes have been cast until they’ve examined all the Postals that have been returned.
They outsourced the health risk to the working poor who kept the economy ticking over.
