Update from the electoral commission.

Tuesday 5pm - first batch of Absent votes added and Hulett polled poorly. Waiting for a preference count, but based on preferences already counted, Labor may have taken a narrow lead.

Last update around 7pm @ Fremantle.
Mcgurk leads by 32 votes with 68.5% of the vote counted.A lead in the primary vote of around 1200 votes.
The Greens in 4th position are chasing  the Libs in down in 3rd spot.

Wow. Kalamunda tightening up too. Kate Hulett might have to redact her victory speech.

Good luck getting any tree hugger to redact anything.

While on the subject of idiots, what a master stroke to get a private company (one that was a donor to the ALP) to organize and run the staffing and management of election day. A complete clusterfuck, insufficient and poorly trained staff, insufficient voting slips for starters. Many voters were turned away and told to go to other polling stations, many were unable to vote due to the miss management so have lost their democratic right to vote.

So if you choose not to vote you will get a fine. Given the hopeless mismanagement, can someone with the means to do so please sue the WAEC, it's incompetent Commissioner, the state government and the company responsible for taking away some peoples democratic right to vote.

SS this is the story right across the Civil (State)and Public (Federal) Service. There are actually very few employees who employed under the (let's call them) Public Service legislation. They are largely contract workers who are there for the short term. As for the senior staff they are the same, contracts not employed under the proper legislation and not accountable under that legislation.

As for the use of an employment agency with ties to the government find me an example where this not in play whether this is the left or right, it is common practice and is driven by people like Dutton et al who reduce the number of public servants and the employ contract staff, commonly called hide the sausage!

Kalamunda looking like a Lib pick up, postals still to go though.

Sounds dodgy to me.

What is the latest news on Fremantle?
