Anidav posted:I wonder where Newspoll is picking up the narrowing from. Worst state and Apex Headquarters; Victoria perhaps? Uh no it certainly isn't working. Vic Libs are still a basket case, albeit a noisy one, and Fed Libs are going to be far more focused on the dangers of Queensland from now until the election, so any big help the Vic Libs were expecting just vanished along with the by-election seats.

it has become clear to me that people don't understand the concept of niches and what exactly fauna do for the environment besides eating bits of it and looking cute. one species of animal going extinct is actually a big deal because it has a trickle-down effect on dozens of other species (both fauna and flora) that rely on that animal for pollination, dispersal, and natural population control. this lack of understanding is nobody's fault, there's genuinely no educational material about it out there unless you fork out thousands to go to uni. so one of my big projects at the moment is to figure out how to explain these concepts to the public, with helpful diagrams and lots of cute pictures, and brightly coloured graphs for the corporate types

She definitely would've been making GBS threads on the state government though, all the numbers are bad when the other team are in power at state or fed level, but if they're both libs then don't worry, the numbers are now good!

Does the preferred Prime Minster count for anything? You always hear commentators and politicians talk like it is, but it really seems somewhat meaningless to me.

Cartoon posted:Not picking on you specifically. Can AusPol stop using 'retarded' as a perjorative? At the very least it is inaccurate. LNP = Morally bankrupt. This is not the same as intellectually handicapped. It is a much worse malaise. These people have the ability to know better yet choose to gently caress over their fellow citizens. I think we have already established; Piece of poo poo, bozo, buffoon, clown, arsehole and many others that are non gender specific, differently abled offencive and LGBTI friendly. It's not really much to ask. If a "fistula is an abnormal connection between two hollow spaces" then Tony Abbott has neurofistulitis.

Anidav posted:I dunno those Victorian elections odds have been narrowing very fast on betting websites and I only ever hear "bad things" just like you only hear "bad things" about Shorten. This is just another case of the Liberal strategists and their darlings in the press gallery drinking its own Koolaid. Let them. Let them think they have a chance in Victoria, that they're doing well. Let them throw money at an unwinnable election. The important thing is to be mindful that Bill Shorten isn't doing all that poorly, and there is no way he's less popular than Malcolm Turnbull under fair conditions. Yeah, he's guilty of being a bit of a faceless piece of party machinery, flip flopping and caving to various factions; but I'd rather that than a one-eyed ideologue, or a shameless narcissist willing to compromise everything to look good to the electorate, which I really don't think you can accuse him of. Would I rather Plibersek? In a second. But he's not guilty of anything you couldn't reasonably accuse Di Natale of; He faces a pretty tough double standard in the media and in this thread, but I think if he was given a fair trial, he'd come out ahead of Rudd and Keating, let alone Turnbull. I dunno, may be a bit of a hot take but it's worth thinking about.

Edit: I think he's been in Freo and Perth recently helping with the campaign over here.

Didn't speak to him when at the volunteers thing on Wednesday, but I had a good chat with Jordon Steele-John about my experience doorknocking and people who vote Mainstream Party 1, Greens 2. I'm sure there's stuff on the Facebook/insta pages for the WA greens if you want to see what he had to say.

Newspoll also does internal polling for the parties on occasion so the odds narrowing could be LNP insider trading?

Also the obvious conclusion from comparing the preferred PM results to the 2PP results is that the problem is Coalition policy and not Turnbull. For some reason a lot of people ignore that

There's not much space for proactive announcements until the election campaign starts up. Don't forget the Victorian state election coming up; the Vic Greens have a lot of plates spinning right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if the federal MPs are caught up in it. EDIT: Also nobody on a federal stage was really looking at him, it was all about the by-elections and the Greens don't have a whole lot of horses in those races. Even if it's business as usual, people are talking about something else.

It's one of the few things you've got going for you if your job is to try and undermine the opposition. Well it's not like they can talk about policy...and the popularity contest has just fizzled. It's the same with Vic Libs, they've tried their hardest to stick Dandrews with something and their own Guy is running on Laura Norder after being lunched by a mafioso. I think the disinterest by the MSM about what's going on Green is an advantage, given every time they have noticed them it was to regurgitate advisors PR sallies against them. Good. Let them ignore the Greens, the results will confuse them again. But somehow, I think the Libs might need to sing the 'ALP and Greens In Bed' tune again soon because they really have nothing else to say until next year.

Except there's absolutely nothing to corroborate it, the ALP have consistently voted with the coalition on subjects like asylum seeker welfare, creepy surveillance state stuff, basically all of the poo poo the Greens actually take a stand on (because nobody else does). They're going to try to rehash 2013 talking points, and it's going to make them seem even more out of touch and irrelevant.
