The site's kinda running again now, albeit a bit slowly. Don't all go clicking at once now. :)

I'm not sure what special functionality would be needed for silent electors.

Yes, this site's good too. Had I known it existed a few weeks ago when I started working on mine I may not have bothered. ;)

I think it might be illegal to encourage people to vote informally though!

If you're really keen, then the list of candidates that the AEC publishes includes telephone numbers for all of them, and email addresses for many of them. In case you can't find any useful information online, you can always ask them their position on the issues you think are relevant.

If I could ssh to the machine, I would. :)

OK that didn't take long. The site seems to be slashdotted already. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea for it to be serving 500KB @font-face referenced fonts from my little VPS. :) Once everybody's stopped clicking the link, I'll try moving the static data over to something that can handle it, like an Amazon S3 bucket.

First female PM, sworn in by our first female Governor General, too. Also she is an avowed atheist. I think that's a first for an Australian PM, too.

That's a good point, regarding the election promise for it to be an optional filter. Do you have a reference for that? I want to ensure my facts are correct for my question.

I'll be in the audience. Suggestions on the most effective way to point out flaws in the proposed censorship regime welcome. :)
