Now prove it
It was a tactic aimed at pointing crap at the Libs which, in itself, would make it pretty unlikely to come from the Libs. Especially in an area like Wentworth with its large community of gays.

The Wentworth Electorate is chock full of Doctors' Wives, Champagne Socialists and the various LGTB crowd. Apart from the millionaires, there are lots of renters in the Electorate. Remember that, before Turncoat, they had Hewson ... another leftie small l-liberal.

I am not surprised that the Doctor "won", she suits the region well as there are very few "conservatives" still alive in Wentworth. The conservatives died out long ago.

Plus, it has little to do with Turncoat ... the sooner we forget him, the better. ;)

IF ever an Independent Lesbian won a ticket on the NORTH SHORE (Bradfield) , I would be very surprised, or has the North Shore become small l liberal too?

Oh ok since you are so dumb and useless...
here is one of several examples that mention it in the newspapers.
The ABC coverage, which was claimed to be an exclusive, portrayed Dr Phelps as a victim ahead of Saturday’s Wentworth by-election, and insinuated it was coming from the Liberals. The reporting also failed to mention that the email also smeared Mr Sharma, Mr Kenny said.

“If you’ve seen the full text of the email you’d know and others would know that it certainly contains vile and despicable smears against Kerryn Phelps, but it also contains vile and despicable smears against me,” Mr Sharma said.

“It contained hateful, and nationalist and vile rhetoric that should never be given a platform unless there’s some sort of compelling public interest.


“Now, I don’t know the ins and outs of it but it seems pretty clear to me that if it was a nutter as you said who’s put this out.

“And I just wonder why the ABC didn’t make the same decision other news outlets did and decide not give these sorts of views a platform and a profile because there’s any number of cranks out there writing any number of nasty things about people at any given time, certainly during the course of an election, and we shouldn’t be encouraging that, we certainly shouldn’t be amplifying those sorts of hateful and spiteful voices,” Mr Sharma said.
Gee I wonder what the ALPGREENABC were thinking?

I'm more than a little suspicious that the was a massive swing, until the "postal votes?" came in.

Where were all these postal votes held?
Who had control over these postal votes?

I don't trust the grubberments, I believe that they fiddle results
Its just that this time the swing was far too big to be fully covered by the "postal votes" they had on hand.

Remember
Grubberments are by nature criminal liars and cheats.

My hope is that in time, Islam will be nothing but a bad dream

Postal Votes apparently favour the Conservatives. They have until 2 November for those postal votes to arrive and be counted. Plus they are apparently sent "snail mail".

The use of Tory describes the Liberal/National parties quite well. They believe in the Monarchy, they are without exception invariably Capitalist in their viewpoint and they enjoy ripping off their fellow Australians with great glee.
In Australia, "Tory" is occasionally used as a pejorative term by members of the Australian Labor Party to refer to conservative members of the Liberal Party of Australia and National Party of Australia parties (who are in a long-standing coalition).[23] The term is not used anywhere near as often as in the UK and Canada, and it is rare – though not unheard of – for members of those parties to self-describe as "Tories". Chief Justice Garfield Barwick titled his memoir A Radical Tory.[24] A moderate faction of the Australian Greens has been pejoratively dubbed the "Tree Tories" by the hard left faction.[25][26]

I am unsure why some people believe it is acceptable to refer to people of the Left as "Leftards" as "Commies" and so on, when in reality they are not. If it is acceptable to do that, I see no reason why we shouldn't call the Tories, well, Tories. I could use far worse, far more descriptive words if you like? Mmmm?

Brian,

Do you have any clue, whatsoever, what a Conservative is?

They are Tories, Neferti. They are the enemy of the people. They are the Big End of Town. The Silver Tails. They like to lord it over people who actually have created the wealth they exploit. Tut, tut, descriptive enough for you?
