Election update: the run home.
This will cover most everything up to the close of the poll. As the market seems to be moving around a bit - to be expected as the picture should be clearer (and people begin to actually put their money where their mouths are) - I will put in more detail on the prices on offer.
I have show n/a for Eden-Monaro in the last entry as for some reason Centrebet had stopped fielding on most seats by that time. The only NSW seat they showed was Bennelong where unfortunately Maxine McKew looks to be being done like a dinner by John Alexander who some people reckon was a reasonable tennis player and it is possible that a few folk reckoned he was a tolerable tennis commentator. I see him as a suitable inheritor of the cloak of weasel skin. Tough luck Maxine.
By the afternoon of 20 August, poor Catherine Moore in Eden-Monaro was out to $251.00. On checking around some candidates were over $300 so she was far from the worst off.
I went over to Bungendore to help hand out How to Vote cards (and to vote). The handing out went fine despite the presence, for part of the time, of the aggressive female from the second session at the pre-polling. She must have been back on the tablets as she didn't offend anyone today.
Voting was a schemozzle as the queue was huge (about 70 people in total) and in two parts. I took less than a minute to vote, whereas some people seemed to be there for an eternity. I presume they were attempting to vote for the Senate below the line, so Mr I N Formal should come in second! I didn't hang around to see how many people from the Mudchooks game (on the opposite side of the street) subsequently came over and vo1.33ted.
