adamantium|wang posted:https://twitter.com/Shorten_Suite/status/1053895601144774661?s=19 Still proving themselves to be incompetent. It reminded me of this article: https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/capable-and-hardworking-dont-discount-julie-bishops-leadership-potential-20170811-gxugzp.html quote:It was November 2009 and Malcolm Turnbull was leader of the opposition, Hockey his shadow treasurer. Turnbull's remaining tenure was being counted in days and hours. He had had the temerity to negotiate a carbon emissions trading scheme with the Labor government, and his party had risen up in fury against him. The pretext for the meeting, party strategy, quickly gave way to the real business. In the room with Hockey were Tony Abbott, Peter Dutton, Andrew Robb, Julie Bishop, Liberal Party federal director Brian Loughnane and a handful of others. Abbott, not yet a candidate for the leadership, kept his counsel while Hockey held court.

I hadn't realised the correction was that big. That looks like it would need every uncounted postal envelope to be in the mail to beat.

I am surprised that there was such a large error in the beginning, perhaps the people counting at Wentworth are not used to actually counting ballots

Tone's own local branch were hosed off with him enough to reject all his branch nominations and almost make him personally lose to an empty chair, imagine what the rest of the electorate might think of him. If she has a strong ground game and the anger stays, he really could be rolled.

Don Dongington posted:Jane Caro (who I've never heard of but is apparently a minor celebrity) is apparently considering running in Wharringah at the next federal election, inspired by Phelps' success. I was actually thinking about this earlier. Given many people are rusted on "Liberal" or "Labor", or even "Anyone but Liberal"/"Anyone but Labor" voters, and given the anti-government and anti-Major Party sentiment around, could the upcoming election be a boon for celebrity independents? Said celeb-independents could run in safe seats to drain votes from the incumbent, or run in marginal seats to split the vote. They would also be a good chance of getting in, a la Dr. Phelps in certain places.

It looks like they've counted the thousand odd postal ballots they had waiting for processing with only a couple of hundred change in the vote difference. Phelps is 1626 ahead.
