A bit of a PITA, but we're only a 2 minute stroll from the polling both so it's no great hardship. I don't think I'll be changing my vote -  I just hope we don't get bombarded with political ads in the lead-up.

We're getting bombarded with Clive for PM ads and, ironically, Liberal ads featuring a wrecking ball.

Weird?!.....not the descriptive word used in latest findings from High Court of Australia when deciding on whether or not WA should go back to the polling booths

my reply: per excerpt from : http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-02-20/high-court-decision-on-wa-senate-election/5272068

...."

ABC election analyst Antony Green says in his blog the ruling will be a blow to the Abbott Government.

"Of the six seats up for election last September, four seats were unaffected by the closeness of the count," he said.

"Those senators whose election was not in doubt included all three elected Liberal candidates.

"While two Senate seats were left in doubt by the count, the only option open to the court was to void the election of all six senators and re-run the election."

Mr Green says a re-election could put one of the Liberals' seats in doubt.

"Alternatively the Liberal Party could maintain its support from last September, and possibly turn the election into a referendum on the repeal of the carbon and mining taxes."
