Congratulations to all the Aurealis and Ditmar awards finalists. Some awesome scragfight potential in some of those categories. Click here for the AA list and here for Tansy’s blog which lists the Ditmar finalists.
Hugo nominations close today so if you haven’t gotten yours in already, hop to it!
NSW is holding its state election today as well but I wouldn’t recommend participating in that unless you have to. Generally speaking, I’m a big fan of compulsory voting but this time round the field is utterly barren. The current government is bent as a three dollar note. The opposition won’t tell anyone what they’d do if they got in. Down my way, the most promising of the Indies wants to abolish the local free bus route and install a train service that runs against the laws of physics and the Greens candidate is a uni student.

I’m in Barry O’Farrell’s electorate.
Nuff said.
yeah
The competition is not appalling or uninspiring or crazy. It is conspicuous by absence. Sad 🙁
Wow, give me the Hugos to vote for over that state election, any day. My sympathies.
yeah. At least there’s always *something* in the year’s reading that deserves a vote.
Yeah.
So you’re voting “No Award” in the NSW election?
YES!!!
