Here are some photos of electioneering fun in the Federal Electorate of Casey in the recent federal election. This was one of the longest campaigns I can recall. The election was announced on 8th May, 2016, and Election Day was scheduled for 2nd July, 2016 - a campaign of almost 2 months mostly in the depths of winter, The result of the election is still not clear as I write this. Whilst the ALP did not win the election or the seat of Casey, we are still waiting to see if the Liberal/National Parties can form Government in their own right. As it is there is still counting in 6 electorates which are all on a knife edge. If the current government does not take the majority of those seats, they will need to rely on 4 Independent MPs to Govern.
