Not very hard.

I hope we see some changes for the better...

    This is a disaster for The Greens in Canning by election.  with Abbot still in the chair we could expect quite a few liberal conservatives to vote green.  That will not be as likely under Turnbull..

    Andrew Muhling  Think of it as taking one for the good of all Australians. Okay, maybe that isn't much of a consolation.

    Hastie seems to be an Abbot man. He was involved in setting up Border Farce. Maybe Turnbull wasn't sure of his numbers.

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child.

All of these have be proven to be possible in every practical and theoretical system proposed to date.  This is ignoring the problem of d) - if the voting is not occurring in a public place, how do you prove that t...
