    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Not sure directing preferences to the Libs helps at all there - the seat has mostly gone to them in recent elections:
2013: 3.00% Libs
2010: 1.00% Labor
2007: 0.11% Labor
2004: 6.81% Libs
2001: 6.98% Libs
1998: 2.01% Libs
1996: 3.56% Libs

That said, it's overcooking it to say he delivered Robertson to the Libs - looking at the distribution of preferences, before he was excluded Labor was down by nearly 5,000 votes. His preferences broke 53:47 to the Libs, but for Labor to win by that point he'd have had to have his preferences break 75:25 for Labor, and I'm not sure he'd have been able to get that disciplined a flow. Centrist independents' preferences tend to spray.

In Dobell, similar story, except despite indicating a preference to the Libs, the decisions of actual voters meant Bracken's preferences actually broke 52:48 for Labor, but it wasn't enough to pull in a nearly 2,000 vote lead.


You posted a lot about the evils about the ETS when Rudd was PM, so I don't think you actually believe that.

Lawrie is a conservative independent - not a centrist independent. It is therefore not surprising that he put out this press release after 4 weeks where he compared what he asked for from both parties and regardless of the answers from either party his answer on each point was:-

"Only one party will be able to deliver on this and that is the party who wins the election.

.....

Taking all this into consideration, Team Central Coast has unanimously decided to preference the Liberal party."

Team Central Coast certainly seemed to be a Liberal Party stalking horse that did the Liberal Party plenty of favours - not only by preferencing them, but as a popular mayor saying they will win and you should back them for the good of the Central Coast. The delivery by the Liberal Party to their promises has also gone missing. Not that I believe the Labor Party would have done anything different. I trust neither of them - that's why I want the same commitment from both so that they can keep each other accountable.

If Lawrie wants to run for parliament - so be it - and I wish him well if he is truly an independent.

Pretty sure Lucy and her family are members and have been for a couple of seasons. No idea how many she attended but I know that much.

The grant for Pluim was great though and the facility is fantastic, a real credit to the region. Now for some artificial turf pitches!

I wonder which paper bag the funds came from.
