I'd advise '65 to just go catch his own Barra....preferably by hand.....in an estuary.....

The polls are saying it's going to be close (50-50) and it must be given the way both sides have all of a sudden amped up their negative campaigns and the media asking Di Natalie today what he's going to do if there's a hung parliament.

The seat-by-seat polling is crazy. Large swings in marginals (7%) from poll to poll (mind you they are from small samples so they are hard to believe). SA is a total unknown given NXT.

Unless the polls are completely wrong (like they were in that last UK election), it seems the LNP will hold onto power in the lower house (losing 8-10 net seats) but disaffection with the major parties will have the Senate even more controlled by minor parties and independents than we had over the past 3 years. Essentially defeating the purpose of Turnbull calling a DD election and giving us more of the same for another 3 years  :P.

lol no problem with opening the wallet for good food, not that run of the mill crap though.

I'm surprised at your low standard in food taste Dan.

How bout not bout not being a tight arse, opening your wallet and trying Char, for some top notch food ( caveat, havnt been for over 12 months)

you can find better food than Tims garbage at a number of pubs around the traps.

Even the chew and spew you get on the wharf is at least on par with tim's

true top quality food is hard to find in Darwin though.

Minolis can be good, but had average as well.

you can get lucky at various places down at cullen bay, does seem to be hit and miss

Just ate at Char. Had the nicest vegetarian meal ever.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Coalition to be re-elected with a reduced majority = will lose a number of seats

Though wouldn't be at all surprise if end up like we did a few years ago, hung parliament or minority govt  ;D

Senate is the one that I'm really interested in

Will the 2 main parties "bullying" tactics (read the changes to voting to try and limit the number of minor parties & independents) give them what they want? I doubt it  ;D
