- Comment on [META] Overseas News - Proposal for increased enforcement of Rule 1 2 weeks ago:
I’ve often used the part of ‘If an article isn’t from an Oceanian news outlet’ as a guide. I figured that was in there because if it’s reported by local news outlets then a journalist/editor has considered it of interest to Australians.
While Australia is continuously participating in these conflicts, and while I believe that’s an important political and economic issue for Australians to grapple with, general updates on conflicts we’re involved in are more suited to other global news communities.
I think there’s value in sharing articles that address global events from an Australian perspective, and discussing those events from an Australian perspective.
I’d also say from a more practical. community averages less than a post a day. It’s not like

- Comment on Unlike Count Binface, joke parties can’t run in Australian elections — and that’s serious 2 weeks ago:
In 2021, the Morrison Coalition Government and Labor Opposition agreed to restrict the names of political parties. ‘Frivolous’ party names are forbidden, which kills the Count Binface Party stone dead. That’s despite a long history in Australia of joke parties, like the Sun Ripened Warm Tomatoes Party, the Surprise Party and the Deadly Serious Party.
Australia also places other barriers in the way of candidates. Count Binface needed the endorsement of 10 residents of Clacton to run in the by-election; an Australian independent would require 100.
In Australia, party candidates do not need any nominators (another advantage the incumbents have given themselves), but registering a party requires 1,500 members. That is prohibitive for parties focused on local or regional issues. In the UK, you only need two members: a treasurer and a returning officer.

- Comment on Reports that Victoria is set to Abolish Group Voting Tickets 2 weeks ago:
Personally I do think there should be a minimum number of preferences you need to fill out. It forces parties to be clear on who they would like you to preference on their how-to-vote cards.
It doesn’t force them to. I’ve seen HTV flyers that say something like ‘Vote 1 for PARTY X and number boxes 2-6 as you like’. I don’t think it really has any bearing either way.
The Senate system of instructing voters to number at least 1-6, while still counting ballots with only a first preference, seems a pretty reasonable balance.
Besides, you shouldn’t rely on party names, as we’ve seen recently.
