NSW Candidate for Mount Druitt.

As I'd traveled around booth to booth, I found h happy candidates and former NSW State Members. It was a beautiful day to hold a NSW State Election and some booths had voters queuing for periods of time.
We had former NSW State Member for Rooty Hill, Mr. Richard Amery at Rooty Public School. Rumors were that Edmond Atalla, Labor Posters placed over 2 two Olivia Lloyd, Liberal Posters (without asking her Polling Staff), because the Liberals had 'Prime Position' for the posters on the fence first and the Labor party wasn't happy with that and wanted an enquiry table under the questionable sign. I must admit it looked 'unprofessional' but that is the kind of things that happen on 'polling day'! I must admit Mr Amery appeared like he was running for re-election - he was well dressed!
The was queuing at Polling Booths and this occurs at times when the Polling Booth Staff take morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea breaks as explained by Mr. Richard Amery. The queues reached outside the gate, some people could not wait and said they would come back, they had to be back by 6pm, otherwise there is that $55.00 fine for not voting.
Then there was Candidate Olivia Lloyd, Liberal candidate for Mount Druitt with Ward 4 Councillor Isabelle White at Minchinbury Public School. It was amazing the young person handing for 'No Land Tax' said she would be voting 'Liberal' - probably just helping out someone else.
At a different Polling Booth, former NSW State Member for Londonderry, Allan Shearan (in the background) was handing out for Councillor Edmond Atalla, Labor candidate for Mount Druitt (now elected) - not assisting Londonderry State seat - that is politics!
And here we are at Dawson Polling Booth.
It's funny, when you hear rumors that a when the Labor Party see good Liberal supporters, they try to coax them in joining the Labor Party. With the Party machine the Labor Party has, you would not think it needs more members.
The Labor Party machine had former Federal Member for Chifley Roger Price and his son, Ben Price as scrutineers at Colyton Public School.
It's also funny, no one has coaxed myself to join any party and yet I won't. I have handed out for 2 different parties before and current, but like everyone else, I share positive views on behalf of the community and what I vote, I reserve my right! What I will say is I was a scrutineer at Dean Park and I enjoyed it - other
scrutineers were very polite and respectable!
This is an example of scrutinizing votes look like:
The Galaxy Poll released today indicated that a Baid/Liberal Party would be win the NSW State Election 2015 and retain Government

Candidates have been working hard canvassing votes, speaking to various community groups and organisations an constituents to lobby for votes.
In both the NSW State Seats of Londonderry and Mount Druitt, there will be elected a new representative from each electorate.
Some Stats for you:
Prior to last election in 2011, Londonderry was the 38th most Labor Party Held seat as 'Fairly Safe' with a swing required of 6.9%. Post 2011 election, Londonderry is 51st most Liberal/National Party held seat as 'Safe'' with a swing required of 12.3%.
Prior to last election in 2011, Mount Druitt was the 7th most Labor Party held seat as 'Very Safe' with a swing required of 25.4%. Post 2011 election, Mount Druitt is 8th most Labor Party held seat as 'Fairly Safe' with a swing required of 6.7%
So we shall see how the true public vote tomorrow!

At Pre-poll, political parties are trying to grab the last vote from you as you enter the Polling Booth. By voting before the election, this prevents being fined $55.00,
for not voting by the election day.
At Mount Druitt Pre-poll booth, last Wednesday week, at 'The Hub' - Greens candidate, Brent Robertson collapsed late in the afternoon and was rush by paramedics to hospital. Brent contacted myself over the weekend and assured myself he was fine then. What I didn't know was both opposition candidates Councillor Edmon Atalla (Labor) and Olivia Lloyd (Liberal) had made instant decisions to take care of the situation by contacting emergency ambulance service and secondly his immediate family.
This shows from both candidates that no matter what voters think candidates are as caring as any human are, especially when placed in a difficult life threatening issue of other candidates. This shows such dignity and respect from these candidates as they gave special attention to Brent Robertson. We thank them very much on behalf of the community!
Here is the story from the Mount Druitt-St Marys Standard:
