@Digital_Archivist https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/liberal-tim-wilson-relaxed-as-aec-orders-partial-recount-in-goldstein/2v3il1hos

A partial recount will look at all the first preference ballot papers for Wilson and Daniel, as well as all informal ballot papers.

A partial recount is more limited than a full recount, which would require the AEC to complete a full distribution of preferences.

The AEC said a full recount was not necessary in its view.

"We are satisfied that there was a very high degree of rigour throughout the distribution of preferences process," it said in a statement. #auspol

@Digital_Archivist Fingers crossed 🤞

@Digital_Archivist The other one is "every man must know their limitations" iirc. Classic films

@Digital_Archivist Well do ya, do ya feel lucky, punk!!!

@Digital_Archivist Probably sacked from the department of silly walks; so had to improvise

@Digital_Archivist Possibly, but there were irregularities (claiming "errors" and "votes moving to and fro in the final stages of the count") and the 100 auto recount was when electorate population sizes were smaller. Will be interesting to see what happens... fingers crossed

@Digital_Archivist Maybe; though I wonder if AEC will grant her recount request?

@Digital_Archivist Been tired most of this week, so hope things get better for the weekend.

@Digital_Archivist Is the Diving Pool (same author) worth reading? Only book available by same author at my "good" library.

@Digital_Archivist Finished Housekeeper and the Professor; sad ending but thoroughly enjoyable.

@ash I used to use Pocket but switched to Instapaper. Latter gives free highlighting of up to five articles a month and has better free font selection. Downside is Pocket was good at providing suggested articles to read.

@Digital_Archivist That is me! Also tired, need to go out for groceries though. Best get ready ... tardis snacks to be refilled

@Digital_Archivist Indeed; still no response. Finished with them! My Coffee gets Cold large print book reserved has altered to "Placed" (different library). I hope it moves to in-transit and maybe I will get the book next week! I read chapter one via eBook but got confused with all the names 🥲
