The eligibility reasons to postal vote or vote early are not strictly enforced.
You could say you’re travelling on May 3rd (even though you don’t have firm plans to do so just yet…) you would be far from the only one making the same claim.
You don’t need to provide proof.

Up to $55 now, not at all unreasonable, but just a little too much to justify a short style on a pension.

I’ve had to part ways with my legend of a barber-to-the-stars after his (very justified) price increases. I’m not on consultancy salary anymore.
Not every 'do at Just Cuts has been a winner, but each time I end up with something slightly different and it’s kinda fun getting a different take on a bog-standard men’s haircut. This month’s is nicely textured and sits really well on my head straight out of the shower.
Also these eggs from Aldi are so good, what a Reese’s peanut butter cup would taste like if it was made with good chocolate and peanut butter.

This is actually super interesting. Consider screenshotting it all and send a tip to the Guardian. I’m sure the Libs aren’t the only ones using these predictive analytics stuff though.
This is why political patties want your email and phone number – so they can add you to a database and enrich it with data scraped from profiling platforms, data brokers, ethnicity predictors and other commercial data sources.
It’s spooky and feels wrong.

I’ve only done privacy frosting before but the application process is the same. It’s a very easy DIY job and the film is inexpensive on ebay and I’m sure other places. All this to say you could definitely set aside an hour or two to DIY it and see the result.

Definitely a few slightly more forceful reasons why people get tripped up by this.
- Group voting tickets were only abolished 4 federal elections ago, and are bizarrely still a thing here in Victoria and Melbourne City Council. So, people’s belief in this is not totally irrational, but likely carried more by lore than facts.
- Many folks look at elections as a chore rather than a precious gift. They would rather remain ignorant about how they work. “Don’t vote for candidate X because they just send their preferences to candidate Y” is more of a meme (in the broad sense of the word) than a well researched political opinion.
- There are people that benefit from stoking uncertainty and confusion about the Australian election process. Many of them are not Australian citizens. Just look at the AEC’s Twitter “Replies” tab. Cookers and Russian agents.

It is confusing but the bonus data has always been from the first recharge of that prepaid plan (i.e. in a year). It’s still good value without it though. But by this time next year there might be a Boost offer to move back to. 😁

Expect a shitty interrupted sleep – unfamiliar bed and environment, probably not totally quiet or totally dark, nurse may need to wake you to reattach sensors that have fallen off, etc. It’s not necessary to sleep straight through to get good results though; wish I knew beforehand.
Expect to be grumpy and tired the day after, and travel home with gross electrode gel in your hair.
I’d probably bring my own pillow(s) next time.
