The amount of money wasted in these elections should be declared an international crime against humanity. Not just elections, but even billionaires in California have spent ridiculous amounts pushing back against the proposition that they should be a one off wealth tax. Naturally the billionaire push back is fully supported by Democrat and friend-of-the-people Newsom.

Giving the money to people who really need it is obviously far too woke and laughably absurd for these types.

With any luck, Leon With Dyslexia can fast track his colony on Mars, and take these disgraceful scumbags with him.

The planet is already f#$cked, but at least we can enjoy our final moments in peace.

The initial expectation is that the US will head towards recession, if that happens the RBA might have already shot itself in the foot and over-corrected, it's why some thought no change was the best option.

But the good news for investors would be markets, in particular it might signal the bottom of the market for housing is right now, although I've heard some describe the coming months in housing as a dead cat bounce.

A problem Australia has is that homeowners aren't dynamic enough, they tend to not shop around for the cheapest rates, which allows the big the banks to ride out the storm and still post big profits. Maybe that changes in the AI era.

I expect super to take a hit, a lot of Aussie super is heavily invested in the USA, and it's likely a US recession will impact growth. But this is where self-managed super can have a big influence, because if they think the market is close to bottoming out they could flood back into the domestic property market. At the moment there is a swing towards commercial over residential, but a US recession would probably be bad for that segment. Chasing growth can be a double edged sword.

What odds Aussie Politicians swing back to loving China?

The whole world must be breathing a huge sigh of relief after the US mid terms.  It will take some time before the final results are known but it is clear that the Democrats will control the House and the Senate.  That means they can end the war with Iran, repeal Taco's tariffs, investigate the financial dealings of Taco and his family, restrict Taco's use of the National Guard, increase aid to Ukraine, and commence the impeachment process.

Not sure why that's occurred.
It may be as the thread starter, my vote doesn't get counted in the total.
Seems strange, but probably doesn't skew the vote to a great extent.
I've seen this before in polls I've started as well.

If I recall correctly the count error occurred early in the process, maybe immediately after publishing, I think I was able to clear it by a reset before anyone had voted. I thought it might be clicks made during editing.

Nails one, shanks the next nine 🙄

I'm backing Darcy to make the right call. Currently holds the most goals for the club and 2x 'coleman' medals.

I voted for Walsh. He signed on for 8 years. That's commitment that should be rewarded if he wants the role.

By all accounts he trains the house down has always been meticulous in his preparation, evidenced by his dedication to recovery from back surgery, and how he was when he turned up day one.  A

Obviously I don't know Sam Walsh the bloke so I can't speak to his character, but he seems to have kept his nose clean.

It's probably Cripps' job if he still wants it, but I think succession plans are good.

The girls need to work on their after the siren set shots.  While Darcy successfully ran the clock down, even a behind could have made the difference between 4th and 5th.  It would have been nice if they had nailed the torp, but a drop punt may have more chance of making the distance.
