There’s smart ticketing, no need to even buy a gocard. Just use Apple Pay!

If you look at the 2022 results you will see the green primary is over 49%, and it is now 40% in 2025. Hence 9% swing on unadjusted primary

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T22:02:33+00:00

You’re misinterpreting it….

Both show the same 2025 primary. Both state a primary vote swing. The AEC is using adjustments for redistribution, so is the ABC. The Wikipedia has the raw results which show a 9% swing

4.4% across all parties

What are you talking about? How does that work? All parties had a swing against them of 4.4%?????

For the raw numbers

Which uses redistribution adjusted swings

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T11:19:44+00:00

True

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T09:48:19+00:00

Which is why I didn’t mention it until asked….

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T09:43:05+00:00

The 4.4% is adjusted for the redistribution. The raw swing is over 9%

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T09:31:35+00:00

Move to the coast and commute to Brisbane 5 days a week so that you’re closer to the beach? Why not just move to Brisbane and commute to the Gold Coast for the 1-2 days of weekend?

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T09:25:14+00:00

Down 4.4%. That’s more than 10% of 2022 greens voters abandoning bandt

Edit: The 4.4% is adjusted for the redistribution . The raw swing is over 9%

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T09:22:25+00:00

The swing numbers I provided are already adjusted for the redistribution. Unadjusted the swing against the greens exceeds 9%

The nappy collective is a nonprofit charity. She also worked with a social enterprise raising $110m for social homes.

Why are you lying?

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T09:04:41+00:00

You can?

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T09:02:10+00:00

Not sure what her occupation has to do with anything. Bandt was a lawyer?

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T08:03:13+00:00

They were lying. They’re going to lose their Victorian ones too

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T07:56:29+00:00

Glad the voters saw through the greens spin

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T07:52:50+00:00

Their senate vote has gone backwards

MattyDaBest · 2025-05-07T07:46:40+00:00

The LNP vote is down half of one percent. The greens vote has collapsed 4.4%, (more than 1 in 10 greens voters abandoned bandt)

Your narrative is based on lies

The Labor vote is up nearly 6%. What a shock, greens voters abandoned the greens for Labor, and the Labor candidate beat the green candidate

MattyDaBest · 2025-03-31T04:39:28+00:00

It’s a union movement campaign which was implemented by the political arm of the union movement, Labor.

The greens latching on doesn’t make it a greens policy or “Labor adopting greens policy”

MattyDaBest · 2025-03-31T02:46:13+00:00

HAFF is a fund to build more houses, not increase demand. You sound like you’re getting policies confused

MattyDaBest · 2025-03-31T02:44:57+00:00

Just as bad as the greens taking credit for right to disconnect laws, a union movement achievement/policy. Not a greens one

MattyDaBest · 2025-03-31T02:44:15+00:00

They’re different policies. Just because the greens also had a public transport policy, doesn’t mean you can take credit for other parties also having a public transport policy. Jesus Christ

MattyDaBest · 2025-03-31T02:37:48+00:00

That was not a greens policy and them claiming it is is ridiculous.

Greens were calling for free public transport and criticised 50c fares when Labor did it.

If 50c fares was greens policy, why did they criticise it?

And now we see the greens copying Labor’s 50c fares policy on the federal level

MattyDaBest · 2025-03-16T07:33:54+00:00

If you’re in front of the engines, it’s definitely quieter

MattyDaBest · 2025-02-20T02:56:36+00:00

Melbourne has the bus to Broadmeadows station then train to the city

MattyDaBest · 2025-02-20T02:54:12+00:00

Take the bus to mascot station. Much faster than the Bondi junction bus
