March stats and recent news.
Well, following up from last month's election predictor
Who Are You Voting This Election ALP in a landslide apparently.
Another correct prediction.
Noticed this huge win in March, LG 86" QNED 4K Smart TV + 77" OLED evo 4K Smart TV + Premium Sound Bar & Sub + a Walk-on role in a Stan Original. Hopefully JMizzlin remembers OzBargain compers when he's off in
HollywoodDocklands living the big life.Noticed finsbury road sticker was a top search through Google. We love freebie stickers here it seems.
Click Frenzy starts tonight and the next shopping event are the EOFY sales.
