Australian DUers, where are you?

[gemini_liberal]

I mean geographically. Where abouts are you posting from? (And don't say Australia! :P)

I am in Adelaide, South Australia.

So yeah, it'd be nice to know...

[Esra Star]

1. On the bay in Brisbane

[Matilda]

2. Sydney ...

Northern suburbs.

[gemini_liberal]

3. Oh god, you get to choose between Iemma and Debnam...

lucky you! :sarcasm:

[Matilda]

5. Tweedledum and Tweedledummer.

Green is obvioiusly the only way to go.

[Violet_Crumble]

4. Canberra n/t

[anakie]

6. eumundi, qld

[Djinn]

7. The People's Republic

[Random_Australian]

Normally? Sydney.

Both of these places are in NSW.

[hot_ice72]

9. Melbourne

Melbourne, The Land of Bracks

[Expat Sue]

10. Melbourne

Brunswick to be exact.

[Esra Star]

12. Yo Suzy, welcome to DU!

Expat huh. From where?

[Expat Sue]

13. what a long strange trip its been...

Grew up in VA, some time in TX (during Anne Richards reign; had to leave when Bush was installed), grad school in Portland OR, and a few yrs in Humboldt CO, CA before coming to Oz.

[oscarmitre]

11. Adelaide here too n/t

[gemini_liberal]

14. Awesome! Where are you?

I'm in Thebarton at the mo!

[oscarmitre]

15. Look north !

Para Hills West - safe Labor state seat of Playford and hopefully federal seat of Makin about to go back to Labor :)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

16. Trish Draper is retiring, no?

Can't remember the name of the new Liberal candidate there -I think it's Bob something. Is Zappia running again for Labor?

[oscarmitre]

22. Yes I would think Tony is going to run again

well I hope so, he is a fine man and well liked in the northern suburbs. Bob Day is replacing Trish Draper. Day is a millionaire builder who has a big electoral office at his business premises in Modbury. Day is a builder. The interesting, perhaps wry point, is that if interest rates go up, as the pundits suggest they may, that this very sensitive area in the mortgage belt (Makin) may do in Bob the Builder. I can but hope!

[Aussie leftie]

17. Mollymook NSW

Could anyone advise me if there are any planned demonstrations during Dick Cheney's visit next week.

[Djinn]

[Esra Star]

20. We are all going to fart in his general direction !! (exclaimed in

a Peter Sellers french accent).
Of course we hope his chickens turn into emus and kick his silly effing head in.

[no safe haven]

18. I'm in Sydney

in the beautiful northern beaches.

[melliyna]

21. Hobart Tasmania most of the time

I'm currently in Charlottesville Virginia (USA) though having fun on an exchange.

[biggles1]

23. That bastion of good taste and social responsibility - the Gold Coast!

[velvet]

24. I'm lurking

and shirking in the Hunter Valley bush

[uriel1972]

25. I'm in Adelaide too

Hillcrest to be exact only been here a year don't know what seats I am in, was in Magill before that with that smirking prat Pyne for my federal member

[oscarmitre]

26. Okay

You're in Torrens for the state seat. Sitting member is Robyn McGeraghty (sp) Labor.

Bad news. You're still in Pyne's seat.

[uriel1972]

27. Well

At least I can have the pleasure of voting against him once more /sigh

[Esra Star]

28. Christopher Pyne. The rod up his arse has a rod up it's arse.

He reminds me of a school prefect who just studied all the time,
and sucked up to all the teachers. Is he in a safe seat or
did he have to win it.

[gemini_liberal]

29. I used to live there

There are not many nice words I can say about Pyne...

Labor would need an almost 7% 2PP swing against him to take the seat - maybe if Labor can keep this lead it has into the election (highly doubtful) it could happen. However, even if this year is a Labor landslide, don't hold your breath for Sturt following the trend. There are an awful lot of Bible Belt voters there who will fight to keep Chris, no matter what the cost...

[micraphone]

30. I'm in NZ - can we play too??

Hehehe no NZ on DU - yet!

I'm in the capital - Wellington.

Having a real good laugh at GSK Ribena no vitamin C thing at the moment too - although it has not even made any ripples at the MSM anywhere but OZ and NZ:

[Violet_Crumble]

31. I wonder how many Kiwis there are at DU?

I've never seen many, though nowadays I mainly hang round in the very placid and quiet I/P forum and don't visit the upstairs forums much at all, so I wouldn't know if there's many New Zealanders at DU....

[Esra Star]

32. I think they've taken the bat and ball and gone home. nt

[Matilda]

36. The I/P forum is placid and quiet?

Slow-moving at times, but I always have to take a deep breath before visiting and occasionally
posting.

I find it the most exhausting forum, mentally and emotionally.

[Violet_Crumble]

41. I was joking. It's anything but that :) n/t

[Esra Star]

33. Yes, this sandpit is big enough. Welcome to DU.

:hi:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

34. I think I've counted about four altogether (including yourself)

in the five years that I've been on DU. Unfortunately none of them seem to post on a regular basis -although one or two came out for the last New Zealand election. But I haven't seen the original two New Zealanders I knew on here for about four years

[Andrushka]

35. Melbourne

To be exact, Wonga Park via Ringwood North via Mitcham via Glen Waverley via Glen Iris, but now in Japan. Which is nowhere near any of those places.

:toast: Nice to meet youse!

(Got some Diwana (Aussie torrenting site) invites by the way, if any of you are into BT. Drop us a PM)

[Esra Star]

37. ??????????

"Got some Diwana (Aussie torrenting site) invites by the way, if any of you are into BT"

Ploys Exploin??????

[Andrushka]

38. Let moi exploin then

Hey Esra! Yeah, a tad vague. It's a site with torrents(I assume you are familiar with Bitorrent?) that are all Australian or NZ TV shows. A load of sport, too (no AFL, mind you). They have good stuff like Four Corners, Chaser's War, and Clarke and Dawe, too. diwana.org.

Just thought that it has been good for me, being an expat OS and all, and that any other DUers might be interested.

[Esra Star]

40. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I have heard of it, but not

familiar.
Cheers

[iangb]

39. Tasmania--------rural (n/t)

[Bear down under]

42. Sydney

In Newtown.
