Welcome to a forgotten corner of the ancient forest.
The Green Man got flamed last time he posted on this topic and, not being one to learn from previous experience, decided to reventure down this path. So which is the really dumb state in Australia, well either dumb or apathic anyway, it is, of course, New South Wales, as all Victorians knew already. (And based on the last post of this nature, some certainly have no sense of humour either.)
Please refer to the table of informal voting at the last federal election below. You will notice a standout candidate in the informal voting stakes. The New South Welshmen just can't or won't fill out a ballot form properly.
