FYI the senate white paper is over a meter wide and had 110 candidates for NSW.
I just remembered that you guys vote for individual seats instead of individual parties...

When I voted a week ago, all I did was find the sheet of paper with the name of the party I wanted to vote, fold it and take it with me to the box. No writing, no chance of mistakes, no "lazy vote"...
