Are you saying they took away her in private votes but no one elses? Did they give justification, and how do you know this?

Because over here you can get into trouble for rigging contests.

Yeah me too. Never mind though. She still might get a prize. :)

I know they took hers away, but I don't think she asked if that was going to happen across the board, and I suspect it didn't, because no one else's votes went down, and they should have, because private browsing is pretty common these days.

They said they could have disqualified her and all sorts of stuff, but they didn't.

I think they've made a mistake in how they've handled this, but my friend doesn't really see it. At the moment she just feels grateful to still be in the running for one of the minor prizes.

I'm thinking about sending them a letter after all of this is over suggesting that they did the wrong thing and why I believe they have.

Send a letter to the local paper... or the station who sponsors the event.

Just a quick update.

My friend ended up winning the prize for our state, which includes a visit from Matthew Hayden on Australia Day, and about $2200 worth of power tools for the garden.

So a big thanks to all of you for your votes. I think it was worth it in the end. :)

Great!

Booyeah! I'll take that as a good result. Yay Cellar. And them pesky kids on that bookface thingy.

Oh, yay! :notworthy

wooT!!!

Woo Hoo! PArty at HER house

I know where there is a really neat passenger ship that could take
all of the voting Dwellars at one time for cheap $...but one side is sort of damp.

I heard the cabins are kind of messed up......

But earlier, you said you were making up a ToDo list.
Maybe this one time you could include just a few more rooms ?
Bring your best mop and biggest pail.

Just think of the warm, balmy weather in Brisbane at this time of year.

Yeah, it's pretty nice here this time of year. A bit wet this week though, which is good. The lawn is loving it.

When we were talking about going down under, we meant the equator. Not the surface of the water.
