That seat is Liberal held and they're encouraging people to put both Labor and the Greens above the libs in the order they see fit

on the basis of the ALP being better than LNP on climate, which they aren't. why, if your objective is to get action on climate change, would you encourage people to vote for a party that wants to subsidize and expand coal and gas extraction?

Labor policy on renewables and fixed targets is better than the liberals and these are liberal seats.

A major police operation will be conducted in Ballarat today, which will see a heavy presence in the Ballarat CBD.

The planned operation will see police from the Public Order Response Team, among others, swarm the streets in a highly-visible street blitz.

Sergeant Gerard Collihole from Melbourne's Public Order Response Team said people can expect a strong police presence within the Ballarat CBD.

"The area has been declared a designated area for the Control of Weapons Act so members will be approaching people at random within that area explaining to them that there is search provisions that apply until 10pm tonight," he said.

The "You have no rights - as long as we say you have no rights 24 hours before taking those rights away from you" Act.

I've seen it used in Melbourne and heard about it in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Never heard it being invoked in a small town before. Certainly not for no apparent reason.

Are there any big concerts or raves going on there this weekend? Or is this just what it takes to get Sergeant Gerard Collihole's dick hard now?


But yeah, it's absolutely loving bullshit that the cops can just whisk away all out rights and protections with a little blurb in the newspaper beforehand.



EDIT: Google tells me it has a population 101,000 now. Okay, that's a lot bigger than it was the time I went there as a kid to see Sovereign Hill.

Either the polls that have been since adjusted are more wrong than before, noting that they correctly guessed the SA and WA elections or Labor is heading towards 90 seats.

I've seen 80 based on the 5.3% swing, although some twitter nerds seem to think that due to a natural gerrymander, labor need effectively 52% for a 1 seat majority, and other commentators have noted that uniform swings aren't always uniform.

I did pop on pollbludger last night and looked at the state-based swings though and it's a fairly good picture, it seems very unlikely that we'll have situation where the swing is swallowed up by safe labor seats while the marginals stay blue etc.

I would actually be super interested in this. Like the going understanding is that the 2019 poll was weighted too heavily Labor.

Would be interested to see what the old modelling would say current poll results mean. Like presumably Labor would be even more ahead on the old modelling?

We'll do punctuation later.
we don't know what the weighting issues were at the last election exactly, but the general suspicion from experts is that the polls were not successfully reaching low-engagement voters, probably due to not weighting for education as at least one factor. some of the polls, most notably newspoll, have made significant changes to address weighting issues but others have made no claims to.

this is a separate problem to herding. last election, all the polls were extremely close - all between 51-52 for the entire election campaign. this is unnaturally low variance, so it appeared that the polls were all adjusting their weightings to achieve the result they expected to avoid looking wrong. this meant that even if one of the polls had gotten samples that could have indicated things were much worse for labor, they dismissed it as an outlier and assumed it was their weightings that were the issue & because everyone was doing this, it reinforced the idea. the polls were also herded toward the end of the 2016 election campaign, but they got lucky and didn't herd towards someone's bad assumptions then. they are not being herded this time.

you can't just adjust the current polls so that they're wrong for the same methodological reasons as last time, we don't have access to any of the methodology anywhere near enough to do that. the best that can be done there is just adjust them by the same amount they were skewed last time - about 3% to labor on TPP. assuming that same error in the current polls gives us 51% as the labor TPP which would be a labor minority or very small majority.

https://www.smh.com.au/national/biden-demanded-bipartisan-support-before-signing-aukus-labor-was-not-told-for-months-20220513-p5al9d.html

lmao, us government demanded bipartisan support for the aukus deal to ensure ongoing support even if the government was changed but morrison didn't brief labor & get their support until the day before it was announced.

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/...511-p5akf8.html posted:

Labor’s climate policies are significantly superior to those offered by the Coalition, say a group of leading scientists […] Parkinson’s view was broadly shared by 10 leading Australian scientists approached by the Herald and The Age, all of whom agreed Australia had been failed on climate policy since the Coalition took office in 2013.

All ranked the Coalition last on climate policy after Labor, Greens and independents, and all saw a significant difference between Labor and Coalition policy, though many agreed policies put forward by Greens and independents were superior. Some asked not to be named so they could speak more freely.
Associate Professor Malte Meinshausen, director of the Climate & Energy College at the University of Melbourne, said though Labor’s climate policies were substantially better than the Coalition only those put forward by the Greens and independents were consistent with Australia’s commitments under the Paris Agreement.

Labor could be a lot better on climate but it’s wrong to say they’re the same as the coalition. Their 2030 emissions target is nearly twice as ambitious and they propose policies that should lower emissions. The coalition’s target is essentially business as usual and they have pretty much no policies to reduce emissions, and accordingly our emissions aren’t falling in any sector other than energy, where the falls are mostly not because of government policy.

if frydenberg & other moderates lose their seats then dutton will be leader and the liberals will go hard right which will be an enormous electoral success because the republicans are very successful in the usa and they won't lose votes to one nation and uap anymore

It's a misleading headline because he's actually arguing they need to preference (not vote for) Frydenberg over the teal independent so that he remains in the party and becomes leader over Dutton.

The dumb part is the fact that he's assuming that the remaining Liberal MPs - who will predominantly be right wingers in safe seats - will install as leader somebody from the same faction as Morrison, who will have just led them to their biggest wipeout defeat since Rudd.

out of morrison's faction, frydenberg is much more closely aligned with the moderates than most & would be able to count on their support + a lot of morrison's faction which could be enough to win the leadership with a pitch of "morrison hurt us in the cities, dutton would be even worse, only i can win those seats back". but i do highly doubt that'd be enough to win the leadership over dutton since the moderates are likely to be the hardest hit seats-wise by any election loss.

It just seems like terrible logic regardless of who is delivering it given 1) it assumes Golden Boy will retain Golden Boy status and stroll into leadership after he and his fellow moderates get pummeled at the polls - even if they're retained, surviving after a desperate rescue campaign doesn't exactly say "this is what the people want" and more importantly 2) it makes the crazy assumption that even if he did assume leadership that the LNP would take a journey to the centre and become a party of reason and olive branches and compromise. What, like Turnbull? The last time they suffered a crushing defeat they turned around a "surely they'll be out of government for a long time" situation rapidly by installing an obstructive hatchetman to spend his days hacking away at Labors legs non stop. They successfully tore down a Labor government strongly elected on addressing climate change!
