The variance in the Caulfield south booth voting is wild. 2 booths heavily favour Zoe, the other two just as heavy in favour of Timmy. Elsternwick booths favour Zoe, though there has been a swing away in one booth.

Yep, was looking at this, which I can only assume is the best indication of what votes are left. But would be very happy if there's more. I'm in Goldstein, and Libs have spent a fortune on getting Wilson re-elected, would be hilarious if it all backfires.

When will we learn the lessons from history.
Quote from Anne Frank's diary (English translation). Full diary entry reads: Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone. The Christians in Holland are also living in fear because their sons are being sent to Germany. Everyone is scared. Every night hundreds of planes pass over Holland on their way to German cities, to sow their bombs on German soil. Every hour hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people are being killed in Russia and Africa. No one can keep out of the conflict, the entire world is at war, and even though the Allies are doing better, the end is nowhere in sight.

As I watch 15 years of content on Twitter being deleted, I picture Melon Husk's servers singing "Daisy, Daaaiiisssy..."
