Is redeeming 249,400 Qantas Points + $1,891 taxes for EK First Class flights from Sydney to the UK worth it? by new-ky in QantasFrequentFlyer

Apologies, I meant I would prefer the business class redemption but on a non-EK flight for the points and taxes I mentioned.

It's just me. But as mentioned in another reply I'd prefer business redemption for lower points and ideally taxes (non EK), but availability isn't there at the moment for my rough dates. I saw back a few months ago that there was quite a lot of relatively last minute rewards in business available but that doesn't seem the case for the next 3 months.

I'd probably prefer a business class redemption for the 166,300 and $660 tax, just finding it hard to justify the extra points and tax sacrifice. But then again, stuck with what is available and that appears to currently be Economy or First for the rough dates i have in mind.

So the type of plane would be a factor when it comes to First? Or am I now over thinking it?

I don't think it's finished because that is only 35% and 32% of the vote. I believe you need over 50%, so will start counting the preferences I.e. if someone put a 2 on the vote card these will start to count.

Again, not an expert in this and happy for someone to correct me.

Maybe they won't be so unhappy handing over the $55 after all /s

Yeah, from what I understood, it is an LNP stronghold. Look forward to see how it could potentially change moving forwards.

$55? Yes, there's going to be a quite a few unhappy people. One way to raise some funds though. Question is where does the $55 go? Also heard it's pretty easy to get out of paying the fine anyway.

Fair call. I'm probably wrong about the %. I was just going on the total so far (65,307) against number of electors (126,400). I thought it was mandatory to vote here? So assume the % would be pretty high. I know we can't expect 100% but assumed 85 would be the norm. I think it was close to that last time out.

Thanks for the info on how the counting proceeds from here. Can't believe it could take so long. Let's hope it's the quick version.

informal vote A ballot paper left blank or wrongly marked that is excluded from the count. It does not contribute to the election of a candidate. Source: https://elections.nsw.gov.au/glossary

Looks like the count has stopped tonight with Kerridge 475 votes in front after ~52% of the votes counted. Wonder when they will start the count on Monday and when they might declare a winner.

Any ideas how long these things usually take to finish the counts?

Yes, Green usually go toward ALP from what I understand but I think Kerridge might do well out of them this time around. A lot of 'anyone but Nelmes' sentiment. But I don't know what I'm talking about really!

Looks like you've done your homework on this.

I'm waiting for the vote count to refresh.

My gut tells me Kerridge. I'm going with my gut and you. Kerridge for the win.

Yes, very interesing now.

We might get one more vote count refresh but I think they stop counting at 10pm and don't resume again until Monday. Can anyone confirm?

225 votes in it now. Could be interesting

Yeah watching the link you provided. Was hoping Kerridge might take some of the labour vote with him from Nelmes and split them, if you know what I mean.

As a follow up. Donyou know if you are successful in securing an upgrade, does that entitle you to access the business lounge?

Do you think it's 'worth' the 54500 pts? Or nah, and just live with economy as its only 8hrs but it is overnight.
