We never thought we’d live to see the day when a poll at The Art Life was subject to the biggest voting rort since Queensland in the 80s… Yes, agents working for Nigel Milsom staged a stunning electoral coup by working around our foolproof anti-multiple vote widget. Although the numbers never lie, in this case they do. We therefore declare a tie for first place between Christopher Hanrahan and Sarah Smuts Kennedy.
