What time do polls open? I've got study to do all day (hence being up at this ridiculous hour), and CNN has nothing on it so far . . .
Not expecting results at 8:00am - just general shenanigans.

They opened at 7 I think.
I'm waiting till 11 and they better not have run out of sausages, or I will fucking stab someone.

Why 11:00am, specifically?

No idea, that's just the time I usually leave the house on a Saturday to get booze/food.

Probably not necessary for any Aussies with access to a TV, but pretty fucking awesome for anyone not in Australia.

My plan worked perfectly, in and out no worries.
Trying to beat the rush by going in early is for idiots.

You're a genius.
I had to mute the feed for a while there. It was too distracting while I was trying to pull big words out of my ass.

I'm seriously going to consider my options on finding a career in NZ.

No.
A key element is drink whenever they say "bellwether".
That kind of thing. I chose "trend". Bad idea.

I'm going to watch one more episode of the new series of peep show then tune in, it should get interesting from that point, I'm hoping.
Should have choose 'marginal' imo, stomach pump material.

I nearly did "swing", but I don't want to die.
"Bloodbath" is another we've chosen.

Looking at overseas positions in NGOs, and "regular" jobs in New Zealand.

It was over on Friday brother, if not a week ago.
Please tell me you weren't watching this in hope Abbutt wouldn't win?
I'm watching this because I'm a political tragic.
Oh btw, NZ has a conservative government.
