An election enquiry is current (03/09/25) and wants to hear from you:
Bradfield Representative: Formerly a "Liberal seat", there were two contrary results in the election period. The legal challenge by the losing party to overturn the last result has done two things: lost, and endorsed our processes. No stolen elections here! or hanging chats; or rigged machines; or dodgy pens; or fake battalions...

HOWEVER - our system and its workforce have improvement opportunities! Post in process 25/09/25 - slowly....
The voters have made their choice and the election is over (apart from the little detail of the scrutiny = the count of every ballot paper). There will be many envelopes to receive and open - it will take a few days.
I went to a busy polling place on the Saturday and saw the crowd and the congested footpath. I also saw the strength of our democratic process. (That word, "democracy", is originally about the "ordinary" people having power.)
