Donation drive

Time for the Poll Bludger’s bi-monthly appeal for donations, which have a way of drying up once the excitement of a federal election period is out of the way. The bills keep coming in though, one novel recent addition being a non-trivial imposition from Google for my use of their mapping in my results pages and election guides, which gets applied once a threshold of their bandwidth is passed. Coming attractions to the site will include coverage of the New South Wales state by-election for Kiama in a fortnight’s time, which will feature the usual live results and projections treatment, and the return of BludgerTrack, which I hope to have in action at around the same time.
