i think sadly the community isn’t big enough, been keeping an eye on the daily users and it’s been hovering around 150 users for a while now, 0 growth
iirc someone said something along the lines of you start with the broadest tent possible and then as the place fills out it will naturally expand outward and create smaller tents for more specific categories
so i’m in favour of merging them and hope we reach a point in the future where we need to separate them

- Comment on Blaming Donald Trump for conservative losses in both Canada and Australia is being too kind to Peter Dutton 1 week ago:
i would say 50% trump, 50% terrible policies and leader
the huge turn around in the polls came when trump started tariffs and demanding ukraine pay for protection, essentially ending the since ww2 idea that we can rely on America for protection
dutton did himself no favours coming across as the worst person in australia and some of the worst policies, not only not matching a tax cut but denying it might be the most unliberal party thing ever, i was legit 🤯

I saved this from 5 months ago: aussie.zone/post/15598435/13409792
It’s not just the Israel/Palestine stance (which I don’t want to get into because I’ll get downvoted to heck) but a big part is housing, they were seen (rightly or wrongly) as delaying housing, as someone who voted for the MMC to see him doing this killed me
There was other things but a big one that stands out to me was this:
The Reserve Bank should lower interest rates tomorrow and if they don’t, the Treasurer should use his existing powers to bring down interest rates
…org.au/…/greens-wont-support-rba-reforms-until-l…
That is absolutely fucking insane, it might just be the most insane economics policy I’d ever seen, this is Donald Trump tier idiocy, it’s a similar line to wanting to get rid of the Fed Chair in America but even he backed off after realising it would screw things up badly
The central bank is independent, if the government starts setting the rates then what is the point of the whole central bank?
There was loads of other things they did

But anyway
Looking at NSW and Victoria council election results, I expect the Greens will gain votes and maybe even a seat or two, I doubt there will be drastic gains or losses.
How you feeling ?

Not looking good for the greens at all, I’m really surprised Melbourne has turned on them by the looks of it ?

A deeper dive into the YouGov MRP
We reported earlier on bombshell results from the final YouGov MRP model, which suggests Labor will govern with an increased seat count and the Liberals are headed for their worst result in 80 years. All the sitting independents are projected to keep their seats
MRP models work by taking large surveys - almost 36k in this instance - and, using the last census, translate these estimates to an electorate level. But there is uncertainty in these numbers, which are also the median results from thousands of simulations.
Dr Luke Mansillo, a political scientist from the University of Sydney, tells the Guardian he thinks the YouGov model is overestimating Labor’s share, and there’s still about a 25% chance of a hung parliament. This is based on his work on Guardian Australia’s poll tracker, which includes estimating the ‘house effects’ that systematically skew polls either towards Labor or the Coalition.
The increasing vote share for independents and minor parties have made many seats that would have been fought between Labor and Coalition into “three-cornered contests”.
The YouGov MRP projects that Labor will pick up the seat of Brisbane, for instance, which the Greens won off the Coalition at the last election. Labor is projected to have the biggest share of the primary vote, but the Coalition and the Greens are in a tight contest for second place - which will likely determine the winner.
“It’s all based on your assumptions about preferences” says Mansillo. In the last election Labor were eliminated in the penultimate round of counting in Brisbane, and 83% of Labor voter preferences went to the Greens’ candidate. With so many seats likely coming down to the final three, an unexpected result here or there could have a big impact.
The YouGov MRP projects that Labor will pick up more seats despite a lower primary vote than they received in the last election. Mansillo notes that this is true of the Coalition too, and so the preferences that flow back to the major parties will be vital.
and Albos thoughts on it:
Albanese has phoned in for a quick interview with Hamish McDonald on ABC radio Sydney.
He’s asked about the latest YouGov poll, which showed Labor would win 84 seats – a clear majority – if an election was held today.
I have no expectations. After 2019 (election loss), where people got a shock on the night, it’s really important to not get ahead of ourselves on the basis of polling that just essentially answer what people think at a particular point in time.
We’re working really hard. No prime minister has been re-elected since 2004 when John Howard got re-elected.
I know we’ve got a mountain to climb.
