Sour grapes from the alleged executive in Victoria against John Mulholland and his continuing and original Executive. The rivals publicly told everyone that there was no DLP candidate in Higgins when there really was. Case of sour grapes.

John Mulholland is recognised by the NSW Branch of the DLP.
The Australian Electoral Commission has continued to recognise John Mulholland against all written challengers.

The AEC rulings are satisfactory and are enough for me.

I thought you guys weren’t recognising him as the DLP candidate anyway.

Ooh, the reverse Donkey vote! Good work.

Um, surely any reverse donkey vote to the DLP will go to the Greens ahead of the Liberals, since the Greens are below the Liberals on the ballot?

Prediction: 50.01% to Clive Hamilton, multiple recounts called for, controversy extends into the new year

Your dreaming. The libs will come in over 50% on the 2PP.
The only help the greens may get is the sex party preferences.
The DLP have the reverse Donkey and one nation have them third so even if they pick up 3-4% each that would be 7-8% flowing to the liberals before the greens.

Anything could happen. It’s now a referendum on Tony Abbott more than anything, with climate change the second issue. Couldn’t really find any better battleground for the Greens to fight on.

That Kelly O’Dwyer is a young moderate woman, three things that Abbott isn’t, will probably help the Libs divert attention from Abbott (even if she does look like Bronwyn Bishop).
