Apparently Galaxy is going to release two more NSW poll (Reid and Gilmore).
Both I would imagine are possible Labor gains.

Nah not yet. They're releasing a poll every hour at the hour.
Reid, Gilmore, Herbert, Forde, Dickson are to come. Dunno the order.
The SMH and the Guardian are reporting two Rwandans allegedly responsible for the murder of eight tourists in 1999 were settled in Australia last November as a result of the Turnbull-Obama refugee swap deal.

That's a fucking wild headline two days out from an election, especially given the government's opposition to the Medivac bill on the basis murderers and rapists might get in!

Remember when the call between Trump and Turnbull leaked and Turnbull admitted that they have nothing on most of the people they're detaining? This is bonkers.
Don't waste your vote. Although it might seem like all politicians are the same, the choices this time are very different. Please look at abc vote compass if you're not sure and see where you stand, then vote based on that. Some seats were decided by a few hundred votes last time, you could make a difference, don't throw it away.
No because I'm not naive enough to think that it doesnt make a difference
Yeah that will sure send a message to those... AEC employees just trying to do a job. As someone who has scrutineered , it doesn't get even the faintest reaction. They just say "informal" and put it in the appropriate pile. It's about as much of a political statement as putting an empty chip packet in a post box.
In a lot of countries political action happens with bullets. Just vote ffs.
I just feel like my vote doesn't really matter and it's just a waste of everyone's time. But that's just me I guess haha.
So our preference system does a good job to make sure we never really waste our votes but even beyond looking at the explicit results our votes make a tangible difference. Once you pass a threshold (I think it's like 2% or 4% something low) the candidates start to receive electoral funding for every vote they receive, so if you decide to do a funny and vote for a racist POS like Frasier Anning cause there's no chance of him winning, you're financially supporting him, or on the flip side if you look into it and find which party or which person closest aligns with your ideals and you preference them you're supporting them in real terms.
Definitely worth putting in at least a minimal amount of effort to make sure your preferences go to someone you deem worthy, or avoid giving it to some cunt.
Exactly, even if there are 4 uninspiring candidates and three trash candidates, there is a benefit in actually voting to put the trash last.
If you're going to do that, you may as well just pay the $20 non-voting fine. You're wasting your vote if you draw on the ballot paper (if you don't know, it becomes informal, which is invalid), so you may as well not waste your time.
IMO since I've gone to the effort of going to a polling place to vote, I feel I may as well put in the effort to make it count.
Last election, it looked like a sure thing for Turnbull but as the night went on it teetered on the edge of being a minority government.
I think it's very unlikely that the Coalition does better in 2019 than in 2016.
Thought I'd try and save time saturday and get an early vote in today. Apparently everyone else in the area thought the same too. Had a good 25 minute wait in a queue.
And RIP Hawky. Legend. I'll pour one out, but that'll be a little later, and the only way Bob would have it

Abbott was actually more kind to a convicted pedophile.
Also, lmao at him getting ratioed this hard. Maybe there really is a chance that he's going to lose his seat this time round.

eh, doubt the ratio has much significance, but i'd place more weight on the Steggall campaign eating into his electorate support visibly over the past few months
Obviously Steggall eating into Abbott's support is a large thing but Abbott really showing his ass like this two days before the election keeps the idea that Abbott is actually a huge petty idiot fresh in the minds of the people.
Everybody knew Bob must have been pretty crook when he wasn't at the SCG this summer sinking piss.
