Rainbows Green with Envy
Speculation over the Green preference system for voting has finally been uncovered. Despite leader Jo's persistent silence, a voting list was discovered detail the order each Green's party member was expected to vote. So the media has finally confirmed the mystery alliance and it appears that, once again, the media was correct in predicting that preferences would be given to Liberal and Labor. Poor Rainbows are missing some sunshine and it appears that the happy hormones just haven't crossed the Greens, as they came last on the list of voting preferences.

Labor kicked off the informal speeches with a quiet start. The audience were slow to start off with but then once the questions started firing Labor lost control of the situation. They avoided a significant number questions including policy stealing and funding issues. Kye-Ren stood in the centre but most of the other party members seemed to take the stage.======

The Rainbow's presented a contrast with unlimited enthusiasm promoting freedom for all. They handled the pressure quite well and seemed to have the audience under control. However they ignored the more serious questions or resolved them through unrealistic solutions. For example, when asked what they were planning to do about the refugees the answer was to have one big party on a mega boat and work in a chocolate factory. If they truly promote freedom and equality for all why is it that only the boat people and immigrants are the ones that work in the factories. Will the Tasmanians be happy about this invasion?

The Liberal went next and seemed to be missing some of Rainbows happy hormones. They had a logical and sensible approach to the issues. However the exception being their 25 million tree planting initiative and to let all the refugees. The logical approach failed them when they could not answer where the space and money for infrastructure and the tree planters would come from.

The Greens were some what soft spoken. They had many good individual solutions but found it difficult to pull them together into one big package. Their quote being 'Be Clean, Vote Green' was also called into question when a large amount of green litter was left behind.

** Breaking News Recap 11:00am **
Labor currently is promising to vote Rainbow second but have been over heard promising the same to the Greens. Liberal has managed to promise a third vote to both Green and Rainbows, yet only plans to uphold the Green deal with half of it's party. Rainbow are feeling doubled crossed but still intend to uphold their end of the bargain with Labor as a second preference and Liberal as third. Greens are being very secretive but despite their refusal to talk, we know for a fact that their third preference is Liberal and it is rumoured that Labor is their second.

Liberals left lonely
Yesterday is appeared that the liberals had everything sorted contracts were being signed and they had secured the Greens vote as third preference. Today however it would appear that they have been abandoned by the other parties, who have all struck second preference deals. The Liberals however seem to have been left out of the loop. They did however sound more confident when they spoke of a second preference deal with the Rainbows. Though we all know that Rainbows have allied with Labor for second vote. Poor LIberal seem to be doubled crossed at every turn. However it is the Greens we feel truly sorry for.

Though they signed a third preference deal with the Liberals, only half of the Liberal party intends to up hold this deal.

Fishing through the Rubbish
In a desperate attempt to find more paper the Liberal party has been caught fishing through the waste paper bins to find more blue paper. Leader of the Rainbow party Siobhan said "that [they] were not that desperate" and were curious as to the Green activities in ripping down tree branches. Saying "how can they be trusted to lead a country when they are not supporting the environment?"

Breaking News Recap 10:00am
Labor currently is promising to vote Greens third if they do the same. Liberal and the Rainbows have promised each other third preference. Rainbows have promised Labor AND the Greens a SECOND vote preference.

We are open!
A One-on-one chat with some of the Labor members has revealed all. In a shocking expose, when asked what do you think about the stealing of other peoples policies the only answer given was "we are open to new ideas." They were however also open with their alliances revealing that they have agreed to vote Greens third if they do the same. The confusion thickens as we wonder how Labor is going to maintain all it's promises.

We Welcome the Media! Free Hugs for All!
Through a misunderstanding from both side, Labor has expressed how they are open for media interviews. Indeed today, the Labor party has offered free hugs and have been open by giving vital information to the journalists about their campaign and other parties as well. Their efforts for the upcoming debate is tremendous. Through some warming comments and opinions, Labor has given a good impression to all media members and in return we wish them well for the upcoming debate.

Rainbow's Repentant
The Rainbow party has been repairing the damage caused recently by members. They have issued an apology to the other parties. They've returned all defaced signs and removed offensive statements as well as a written apology.

Rainbow's Story Told
The Rainbows have spoken out about the defecing of the other parties posters. Party leader Siobhan said it was "upsetting" and that it was only done in retaliation. The Greens alledgedly started the poster destruction (which they strongly deny) followed by Labor. When asked why any other party would want to tear down the propaganda Siobhan replied "I don't know. All we want to do is share the love" She did however admit certain people on their party had played a part in the poster defacing saying "some people on our party get excited but that's what what we are all about. We are passionate ... Vote Rainbows"

It would also however appear that the Rainbows are no longer in the dark and have been busy striking deals all morning. They have now struck up a Labor alliance promising to vote them second if they return the favour. This does pose a troubling question as it appears the Greens have also struck a similar deal with Rainbow. However Liberal and Rainbow have promised each other third preference. How will this work!? The web of deceit surrounding the party's is growing deeper and more tangled and the election campaign proceeds.

Jo from the Greens made no comment when questioned about what preference she'd promised to vote Rainbow. But with Rainbow already promising places to Liberal and Labor are the Greens really in in the loop or are they about to be double crossed.

Labor Slaking Support and Showing Secrecy.
On October 6th 2010, Kye-ren has been elected as the new leader of the Labor party. They have immediately launched into action and preparation of the upcoming debate but people have questioned the support the Policy managers are receiving.

There have been various negative responses from the party members towards the media, where they have been reluctant to give any information. After the media spending hours in their party room, they have only been able to receive comments and options from the Policy members and the Promotion campaign people. One party member was asked about her views on their new leader, with little enthusiasm, she tried to turn away from the media. ‘I don’t know. Go away’ was her only response.

Through a number of efforts, the leader, Kye-ren had only been present in one short interview. When she was questioned about her opinion about the Liberal party all she said was ‘Don’t go there,’ after an awkward moment. The Labor party had thrown complains about the presence of the media unlike the other parties. This makes us question whether they have any secrets that should not be open for the public’s knowledge.

There have been conflict within the party where members, especially within the Policy members. Some have show reluctance towards their manager, Aggela and her organisation ideas. ‘Yeh, yeh’ was a response that one of the members said when she commanded an order to be done. Other Policy members have been caught sleeping during preparations. ‘I was only daydreaming for a minute’ was her excuse.

What was more devastating was that the Promotion Campaign managers have been creating posters for the Labor party. Only after an hour did they realize that they have spelt ‘Labor’ as ‘Labour’ on their promotion posters. After one day of lacking support from it’s own members, will Labor be able to receive enough votes to win the upcoming election.

Rainbows: we don't feel the love!
Barely 9:30 and already Rainbows are seeking revenge for not being part of the secret treaty's. All through the corridor chaos has broken out with Rainbow party members defacing the other party's posters. One Liberal was clearly not impressed with the Rainbow party's cruel actions. "It's hurts to be abused when all we want is to share the love" and Labor member also voiced concerns with "It's hurts deep inside" and Greens member Chelsea added "so immature." It would appear that the Rainbow's, the chillest, the happiest and the most smiling party of all have now revealed their true colours.



Rainbows in the Dark?
The first day is over, and it would appear that every team has struck a deal with another party in some shape or form. The Liberals started off this dirty play by striking a deal with the Greens. See Picture above. The contract signed by leader Miranda clearly states that each party will vote for the other party as a third preference. Deals kept on flowing as the Greens then went on to sign a contract with Labor. Who then signed one with the Liberals. The question now is, do the other party members know what's going on. Chelsea from the Greens and Shubhi from the Liberals seem utterly oblivious to any deals being made. So with the party leaders busy double crossing their teamates. Where do the Rainbows figure in this game of deception? Is a Rainbow smile alone enough to win this election. Or do they have secret deals of their own. One thing for now is certain. The Rainbows have truly been left in the dark.

LOL Who's laughing now?
The Liberals have hardly had time to change their logo from the budgie (courtesy of Tony Abbot's infamous bathing suit) to LOL Liberal over Labor when it was stolen by the Labor party. Defacing their sign, Labor changed the Liberal slogan to Labor over Liberal. Liberal member Shubhi has said "This shows that Labor has no self esteem and no self control." Megan Saker also had something to say about the underhand goings on saying "Labor will always come last. Don't vote for Labor." Is the contract between Liberal and Labor now off, will people stick to it and which party will have the last laugh?



Labor's hate campaign
"The Labor party is full of liars" said Pallavi yesterday after Labor stole a certain team's slogan. It would appear that Labor enemies are stacking up as are their dirty deeds. Tension between Rainbow leader Siohban and Labor leader Kye-Ren has erupted after the Labor party was accused of stealing the Rainbow policies. Siohban was caught not smiling in a one-on-one talk with the Labor leader. Breaking one of her own teams policies; "Always smile in an interview." It would appear that Labor is the unpopular party of the moment, with Liberal member Shubhi stating "it works like this, we're neutral with Rainbow, friends with Greens, and enemies with Labor."
