For the Australian Election. From the Australian Labor Party.

Really tiny writing and hard to see if you are looking up the poll. They were spotted in Talbot Street and near Custom Quay in prime backpacker territory – the Irish Labour Party have been helping their sisters and brothers out it seems. (h/t to Alexia for the pics!)

I assume they will be taken down quickly?

The Australian Electoral Commission website is an excellent resource for the psephologists amongst you.

In case you are wondering ballots are still being counted including those cast in Ireland, voting in Australia is compulsory and Broadband is a huge issue in the negotiations to form a minority government.

My weekend spent resting was also spent watching Election coverage on ABC and Sky News Australia (not as good as ABC, no change there then.) The Australian Green Party spent the weekend looking happy with themselves. The nation has their own version of Jackie Healy Rae – no comb-over or flat cap but rural and looking for wonderful things to be done for his area in exchange for his vote. And they have a 20 year old conservative elected who really reminded me of Wicklow’s finest – Simon Harris.
