We really should have had a thread on......

1) The Australian Elections.

So much scope for craic and so much more interesting than our dull affairs.


Here are the Australian Sex Party's candidates:

What positions would they take in Government?

And here is the Australian Motor Enthusiast Party website:

I wonder will they win a (car)seat?

Imagine a coalition between the Car Enthusiast and the Sex Party?

How did we miss this?

Then here is a list of statements made during the elections:

The winner Tony Abbot: "If you want to know who to vote for, I'm the guy with the not bad looking daughters."

From the link above:

Jaymes Diaz deserves a mention. When asked about the party's six-point plan to "stop the boats," the election candidate failed to name the other five.

.....unlike Stephanie Banister who withdrew her candidacy after making a series of jaw-dropping comments, all within one interview.
"I don't oppose Islam as a country, but I do feel that their laws should not be welcome here in Australia," Banister told Seven News. She went on to confuse "haram" with the Quran and said Jews followed Jesus Christ.

Mining magnate Clive Palmer, perhaps better known outside Australia for his ambitious plans to build a replica Titanic, shocked morning viewers by making some stunning accusations on live TV .
"Rupert Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng is a Chinese spy," Palmer said. "She's been spying on Rupert for years, giving money back to Chinese intelligence."
"Clive, have you lost the plot?" asked the visibly shocked presenter.

Meanwhile Julian Assange of WikiLeaks ran for election but his running mate pulled out, citing a lack of transparency and accountability.

Sorry forgot rule 1:

The winner Tony Abbot: "If you want to know who to vote for, I'm the guy with the not bad looking daughters."
