Fresh from watching that silly television debate which was really just campaigning disguised as journalism, I decided to have a look at the ABC election site. It’s full of all the interesting facts that you can also read the Australian Electoral Commission site, but with some extra comments and details. It notes that my safe Labor seat of Throsby had the Liberals polling at 70% in one voting centre. That voting centre happened to be Marshall Mount where I happen to know at least one family. I don’t image there’d be many more than twenty families in the small farming area so it’s a good thing that 70% doesn’t damage the seat one bit.
