Best Overall Australian Blog award goes to….
Reasons You Will Hate Me
beating The Road to Surfdom on a countback when both had 50% of the vote when all other candidates were eliminated. In the round prior, Reasons You Will Hate Me had a slender, 2 vote lead over The Road to Surfdom and the distribution of votes from The Spin Starts Here what only slightly biased towards The Road to Surfdom… just enough to negate the 2 vote lead, but not enough to hand The Road Victory.

The Spin Starts Here 12.0%
Barista 10.4%
Tim Blair 9.6%
Ausculture 8.0%
The Road to Surfdom 7.2%
