May 18th, also known as pick a dickhead day.
It was interesting that one of the election propaganda packs we received which included the postal vote application, had a reply paid envelope with a different address to the AEC address printed on the postal vote form. Presumably so that said candidate can obtain additional contact information from your form before forwarding it to the AEC and then spam you senseless with more campaigning.
I returned my letter with plenty of junk mail and other miscellaneous items, ensuring that it was bulky enough to ensure that said political party was charged for a parcel rather than a letter as they received my rubbish.

Reminds me of an angry customer we had at work once, they sent a brick back with the faulty product. :)
My "favourite" part of election day is dodging 10,000 papercuts as you try to enter the polling both.
I hope it is a day of torrential rain. We need it!

But if it rains, who will cook the democracy sausages? We need sustenance after rushing through paper cut passage.
That's one positive about the state elections here in Tassie, they aren't allowed to harass you at the polling booth. The most they can do is hang a sign up and wear a candidate's t-shirt and hope you ask them a question
