Could you tell who is who?

[catsnknots]

In general Labor is red and Liberal is blue... that is usually what it is on all their web sites, campaign t-shirts, signs, logos and anything else that is used to let the public know what side of politics you are on... 

Usually there will be the word Labor or Liberal on your material as well. 

This usually made it very easy for a person to turn up at the voting venue and get a how to vote card. If you knew what party you wanted you went for the right coloured t-shirts.... 

hm.. lets not forget the Greens.. they are always green as well. (don't want to forget anyone) 

So knowing that bit of information can you pick who is who from these images?

In other countries (NZ for one) there is no electioneering allowed a week or so before the election. No billboards, TV or print advertising, nothing, certainly no people at the voting venues handing out how to vote cards.

How do the poor elderly get on in those countries when they go to vote? No coloured t-shirts to head for.. lucky elderly Australians having the right coloured T-shirts to head for outside the voting venue.

You have entirely miss the point...we DON'T consider ourselves elderly...it is your assumption that elderly people are somehow lacking in basic smarts that has offended people.

Yes, that is it.

lol... obviously I have upset some people on here that consider themselves elderly... 

funny thing is that I did say I won't put an age on the word yet you still seem to crucify me for my comment... 

facts are I don't know anyones age here and I don't consider any of you elderly... let me just say I have noted those that seem to take the comment personally and I will forever consider you an elderly person rather than a fellow forum member... 

Yes, I consider myself elderly and I am upset. Elderly should NOT be a pejorative or condescending term it should simply mean someone of senior years and since I am 72 and Mr Elephant is 76,  I guess we qualify.

Your first post simply referred to 'the elderly', as if we were all one amorphous mass. you only qualified it when I pulled you up on it.

You can pigeonhole me in  whatever way you like if that's what makes you happy; but consider  this: I believe there are at least one or two posters here who have indigenous heritage. When interacting with them I never consider them as anything other than fellow posters, but if you had posted  I am also concerned about indigenous people going to vote knowing that the team they want to vote for will be in a certain colour. then I imagine they would quite rightly have taken offence.

Your Mum is very astute.:-D

If a voter is sucked in by the colour of a balloon or t-shirt should they be allowed out to vote?

I seriously thought this thread was about zero feedback posting IDs.

Labor branch stacking & courting the ethnic vote by bribes & lies, labor telling Aboriginal people that liberals will poison their children. I have seen the lenght's Labor goes to, just like what we are seeing every day with them in power.

Roll on Sept.
