I'm in Calare (NSW) and the numbers here: [tallyroom.aec.gov.au] are interesting. Most of the minor party votes will end up with One Nation. The Greens and Legalise Cannabis will never vote One Nation but divide their preferences between Labour and Kate Hook (independent). Labour voters will send their preferences anywhere except current and former Nationals members. The question in the seat is where the voters for the former Nationals member sent their preferences.

The point is, a lot of seats here: [tallyroom.aec.gov.au] are in the low 50%. We won't know the result until Tuesday.

No matter what it is, someone will claim it's a crisis. It's going to be a long, wild ride in the news. If you pay attention of course. Foreign investors will. A surge of foreign money out of the economy will, depending on other factors, give the Reserve Bank of Australia room to lower interest rates. No matter what the parliament looks like, if the interest rate is 0.5% lower than what it is now, they will smell like roses. The best way to achieve that is to scrap the treaty allowing yank investors to bypass the Foreign Investor Review Board and the Double Taxation Bill.

The same thing's happening in Berowra, where I used to live, with an independent, Tina Brown. The smaller party preferences will probably end up with One Nation. The whole point of voting for them is to not vote Liberal or Labour. The Greens voters will never send their first preferences to Liberal.
