Zenithe posted:I wonder what the opinion of Balinese Indonesians are. Denpasar is the capital of Bali, and their stats were 92% favourable, 8% unfavourable, not counting no opinion. I'm pretty sure this is significantly higher than Australia's opinion of Australians, so I can only conclude people who go get drunk in Bali are Australia's best representatives, and we should replace all our diplomats with them.

As someone thats volunteering in Indonesia and being paid by our aid program, this whole Israel thing just results in a lot of awkward conversations explaining the government is poo poo and nobody else in the country agrees with them. People here despise Israel. But oh well, Indonesians are lovely people and most of them won't care that much until a giant protest happens outside the embassy.

hambeet posted:sustainable australia were anti immigration i think? They are, but that includes white immigrants too and they specifically aren't intending to cut the Refugee intake (though I don't think want to increase it either). Mostly we'd get less English and I think that's something we can all get behind. EDIT: I checked and since 2010 India and China overtook the UK, still I don't think the policy is racially motivated.

Mostly we'd get less English and I think that's something we can all get behind. im looking at their page again: investing in education, investing in other industries to diversify economy, simpler tax system *warning bells there* affordable housing involve scrapping cgt and negative gearing, building more public housing / banning foreign investment in property, nationalising utilities planning goes back to local government, higher taxes on commercial developers, invest in public transport and preserve green corridors, transition to renewable energies, ban fracking (nationally), lots of greeny stuff here, hmmmmmmmm

Doctor Spaceman posted:Yeah. Their first preference vote dropped a bit (from 10.75% to 9.25%) but it's mostly due to GVTs and the number/size of upper house electorates. Wait you think it's an administrative blip? You don't think the sex pests plus NSW civil war had anything to do with it? Can you expand on what you mean here?

Mith and I went from renting a lovely, ancient two bedroom apartment in Toowong for $325 a week to a one bedroom with aircon and NBN FTTP in Melbourne for $380. And you want to tell me Queensland is affordable?

Being close to UQ drives prices in Toowong up a lot. You can also commute from Toowong to the CBD by bike on bike paths along the river in about 15 minutes. That commute is worth a fair bit.

clusterfuck posted:Wait you think it's an administrative blip? You don't think the sex pests plus NSW civil war had anything to do with it? Can you expand on what you mean here? Those issues can explain the drop in the vote, but the drop in the vote alone isn't enough to explain the loss of 4 seats. (Based on the provisional results on the VEC website) Take SE Metro. Labor got 2.99 quotas on first preferences, Liberals got 1.74, Greens got 0.33 (down from 0.36), AJP got 0.13, and all the other parties are under 0.1 of a quota. So Labor gets 2 seats (with the 3rd being a formality), while the Liberals get 1 (with a chance at another). This leaves the 5th seat up for grabs. Who gets it? The correct answer was the Liberal Democrats, starting from 0.05 of a quota. The same thing happens in other seats. In South Metro the Greens got 0.8 of a quota (down from ~0.9) and didn't get a seat, whereas Sustainable Australia had 0.08 and did. None of this was a surprise either. The GVTs are known and you can work out who benefits most (and several of those listed did get elected). Or look at this prediction for East Metro: https://twitter.com/AntonyGreenABC/status/1061777073591599104 They ended up getting 0.6% of the vote, and the seat. I haven't seen the final numbers yet but it's quite possible that the Greens would have lost seats even if their vote was identical to the 2014.
