It would have taken a lot, lot more well placed 'dickheads' to do that.
Might have kept the local MP in a job though (although probably not on latest results, his 14.5% margin having turned into a 0.4% deficit at last report).
It could be argued that the NSW Labor problem was too many well-placed dickheads in Sussex Street.
Does NSW not have preferential voting? If preferential the vote should have been informal unless there were only two candidates.
Optional preferential I believe.
