Winners are grinners, especially for the mighty Oberon Tigers following their return to the winner’s circle with a good win over the Cowra Magpies on the weekend.
Young Trent Guinot’s $2 lottery tickets on Oberon winning the Group 10 premiership are still on track.
Still on winners, young Geoff Lawson picked up another winner last Thursday at the Penrith paceway.
His trotter Derby Downs picked up first prizemoney, thus ensuring young Geoff will be able to keep shouting a few cool drinks for all the patrons at the Royal Hotel over the next few weeks.
No doubt the big news this week was the big social day out at Oberon High School last Saturday.
Our political reporter young Paddy Foran took the opportunity to canvass voters and give us an insight into just what happened.
The biggest issue for voters was the size of the senate ballot paper - young Geoff Jones is believed to have injured his back just carrying the ballot paper from the booth to the ballot box.
Young Ashley Reynolds damaged his groin while trying to fold the paper so it would fit into the ballot box.
Meanwhile, young Bonny Harvey suggested she has smaller tablecloths at home compared with the size of the ballot paper. Mind you, she also said her tablecloths were a lot easier to fold.
Young Paddy also reports that no wonder election results are not going to be known for some weeks considering there were 42 parties listed on the senate ballot paper. Just imagine how long it would be to get a result if we had 84 parties.
Rumour has it that the next federal election may be called before they get a result for this one.
Before we close off our election report just spare a thought for the candidates that nominated for two of the 42 parties nominated - The Australian Sex Party and The Marijuana Party. Can you imagine if they end up getting elected to the senate with Pauline Hanson, Tasmania’s Jacqui Lambie and Derryn Hinch.
I, for one, can't wait for the results to be finalised.
Maybe I might run for the next federal election.
