Wentworth voted 80.8% yes in favour of gay marriage so this is either some 13-dimensional chess poo poo or they don't know the electorate.

ABC have added that the anonymous email the Libs won't comment on is saying Phelps has pulled out of the election because of this diagnosis so don't vote for her.


quote:

An email falsely claiming Independent candidate Dr Kerryn Phelps has pulled out of the Wentworth by-election because she has HIV has emerged, in what the candidate says is just one of the "dirty tricks" being deployed in the campaign.

The email, obtained by the ABC, was sent to hundreds of constituents and organisations from a fake address on Sunday and urges recipients to divert their vote to Liberal candidate Dave Sharma.

The ABC does not suggest Mr Sharma or anyone involved with his campaign was behind the email.

Per the ABC:

quote:

"Can you divert your vote to Dave Sharma in instead? It is very urgent, please let your friends know, too," the email said.

"Use all your phone, messenger and social media and show support for Dave Sharma on your Facebook too.

"The voting card has been printed already, you will still see her name, but she has already quit.

"Please DO NOT vote for her, just choose Sharma as your top choice only. Kerryn was diagnosed with HIV yesterday so no chance she will be running for the election.

"Choose Dave Sharma. Otherwise if you choose local white, they will be molesting your children someday."

You can see that preferences from Greens -> Labor have been shifting to Greens -> Liberal in the last couple of federal elections. I'm sorry that your echo chamber life doesn't expose you to people who vote Greens/Liberal, but they exist. And they've been growing. Labor can absolutely reverse that trend.

e: looking further into the article, it looks like Greens -> Liberal voters were steadily decreasing until Bill Shorten became opposition leader, where the trend reversed

This could be because I live in Prahran, but I wonder if some of this is explained by the Greens stepping up their campaigning in certain Liberal seats like Higgins, and Prahran and Maiwar at a state level.

Wouldn't be surprised by people here voting Greens 1 Liberal 2 based on the history of the seat and the campaigns and candidates that each party ran in 2016.

A heap of people don't really pay attention to policy.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
A leadership challenge this week is unlikely. But in a tactic similar to the one used by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton in his botched attempt to replace Malcolm Turnbull, a substantial bloc of aggrieved Nationals MPs are attempting to create a crisis around Mr McCormack's leadership.

There are 22 people in the National Party room, how the gently caress does a "substantial bloc" even exist?
