Hey WA, NT, SA, VIC.

Could we just cut NSW and QLD off? They're the worst of us. ACT, we can move you to just outside Alice.

    Victoria will need to be cut off as well in a month or so if the polls are anything to go by.

    It’s not the polls that are the concern, it’s the actual real tests in the by elections we’ve had.

    Either way the threats real, and it’s a matter of which of the two conservatives will govern down there.
