My short wishlist for today:

  • Devastating LNP loss
  • Dutton loses his seat
  • Amelia Hamer is never heard from again

Clive Palmer to have a shower slipping accident with a brass instrument

As a Malvernite, I'll be devastated if Kooyong actually votes Amelia in, too many of her signs on houses in my suburb.

All those, plus:

  • a good cake stall at the polling station

They would all be good things. I'm also hopeful that my local member, Michael Sukkar, might lose his seat as well. It was very close last time - it looked like he had lost initially, then it swung back to him as the postal votes were counted. He won on a 0.2% margin, and I saw some recent polling saying he is now predicted to be leading by 0.02%, so it really could go either way.

I have a friend who lives in that seat! It was only a few hundred votes which is crazy ๐Ÿ—ณ

YES

I'm a bit worried because Kooyong did get redistributed to include the extra rich out-of-touch boomer folks in Armadale and Malvern (?)
