Ah yeah I screwed that up. Fixed it up above. The swing wasn't big though, and the Libs didn't contest at all.

I'm actually kinda surprised with the "talent" VicLabor pushes into those stronghold seats. It's almost like they don't get why they're stronghold seats to begin with.

You look at who the Libs have in Goldstein, Higgins and Kooyong and they're current ministers who look like they're going places or are future Liberal superstar Tim Wilson.

Labor knows the greens are contenders for the inner suburban set big time and they need to roll out candidates like Kearney, who is honestly a very big gun. Any pushing the greens can do in these seats to promote selection of "labor left" candidates with traditional ALP institutional power into them is good.

I'd have taken either in Batman. Get rid of loving Danby next. Surely that electorate can't be carried on Israel forever.

The greens only need 2.5k people to turn and they win on two party. I guess it's a race between them and rich arseholes voting libs at this stage, but I reckon it's possible... Maybe?

It's not. ALP are 2.5k up on them. Liberals easily win on first votes but Labor keeps it these days on a nearly equal greens vote. It's not impossible.

Greens probably need to stop leaving 30 pieces of silver on the local Jew counsellors desks though lmao

Oh right. It was so tight for a while there I kinda gave it away in my head. The Jewish community doesn't need to change or Danby necessarily. There's a lot of apartment growth so there could probably be another fresh 2.5k people voting any which way by the next Federal election.

You know how big the Jewish population in Melbourne Ports is?

It ain't big. They're largely down in the south, in Caulfield and surroundings; Ports is mostly the likes of St. Kilda and South Melbourne, which is a totally different composition. Jewish people comprise about 10% of Ports as an electorate, and kind of stand apart from the rest of the electorate politically.

The real difficulty with the Jewish population is not that they're big, it's that they're loud. They're a lot more ingrained and established than any other minority in the area, and have their own community interactions to the level not often seen, so they can really circulate their opinion. Additionally, because that's basically the only part of the electorate Danby cares about and appeals to, it is REALLY hard to be an alternative stance that's less pro-Israel; I'd say they're kind of entitled and self-important because of that, but I'm aware that sounds a little poor.

It's folly to consider Melbourne Ports a 'Jewish electorate', because they're not a big subset of the community, it's just that because that subset is very visible and because Danby's made a business of catering exclusively to them it's hard to declare the electorate to be much else. The 'in' for the Greens in Ports is specifically to not really engage with them, but they have to do that carefully too.

Doesn't really matter whether they're Jewish or Catholic, they're a minority community of conservative shitlords leveraging a perceived electoral importance to push their conservative views on everyone else, and they should be undercut.

It sounds like it's like that but it's not. It's the dominant topic because our local member addresses a 10% demographic to the exclusion of the 90% of the electorate. I think people say dumb poo poo because it's hard not to say dumb poo poo when you're desperately trying not to sound like a Nazi while also pointing out that catering to that demographic over every other possible issue is the problem.

One of the many reasons to hate nazis (and that said there are many MANY bigger reasons) is that they've made it easier for Israel to get away with poo poo.

Israel does a lot of bad stuff, but also does many things better than it's neighbours. The people who are loudest against them make it hard to publically oppose Israel because anti-semitism is totally a thing.
