    its hard to say just yet.

    Might take a couple of weeks for all the postal & absentee votes to trickle in to decide if we are real or not.

    hopefully exiting was not in referendum because this could develop into a long and opinionated thread!

    :)

    I believe Australia is voting to leave Asia. They used be their own Continent, but that was before football and they merged. :D

    Just came back from there, that would be impossible.

    Chinese is a second language there, much the same way that Spanish is in many parts of the US.

    The newspapers I saw called it a dead-heat between 3 parties.

    Sounds familiar.

    I am told that they want to leave the AU. - the country will then be known as Stralia, or Straya in the local dialect.

    That's the problem with a democratic society, you end up with a Senate full of nutters all pursuing their own agenda.

    Can you imagine listening to her voice for hours in an enclosed space :eek:

    I have a Question.

    Can you have a spoiler with no outcome? Maybe this is just an Australian thing.

    Guess who won? Who? Nobody! Oh! You just spoiled it for me!

    The worst thing about a 3 way tie is you'll have 3 sets of politicians claiming a "mandate from the people".

    Funny as the biggest talking point on the day was

    One politician ate a sausage on a roll the wrong way (first bite in the middle)

    And

    The other didnt even buy one (too toffy to eat a good old peasants sausage on a roll)
