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?

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.
You are one mean old mother.

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.

Ageism is never funny, cm. stereotyping any group of people and placing derogatory assumptions on them as a whole.. How is that funny or helpful?

Well I guess you've learnt something then haven't you. I hope you don't go away and forget it.

Why do you assume it would be only people on this forum that would object to your incorrect assumptions about elderly persons (slow thinking etc).
I am also concerned that the people that do not understand what is happening, the not so politically aware or savvy , the ones that are blindingly trusting in the politicians will not understand what is going on..
Who are these people? Why are they voting if they do not understand what is happening?

would be so touchy about the use of a word... sort of like the 'ape' word scenario?
