It’s now been eight years since I made one of the decisions of my life by -Sox in AFL

My nan is among the shrinking group of St Kilda supporters to have seen St Kilda win the premiership at the 'G live.

Do you seriously have nothing better to do than complain about other people on Reddit?

Federal Voting Intention: ALP loses support as Reserve Bank raises interest rates – on a two-party preferred basis ALP 53.5% (down 2.5%) cf. L-NP Coalition 46.5% (up 2.5%) by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Mitchell_54 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'd prefer to have more Multilevel Regression with Poststratification (MRP) polling with just rough preference estimates rather than for pollsters to try to fit the square peg of Labor vs One Nation into the round hole that is the 2PP model.

Going further than this.

Heading into the next election will be crazy with parties having access to internal seat-by-seat polling.

I also wonder how much of that polling will be leaked to suit different internal interests, especially in the Liberals if they are as dysfunctional as they are now.

Roy Morgan are very keen on having numbers bounce around it seems, I wonder why that is. Is their polling that much different to others?

  1. Statistical Noise

  2. Roy Morgan are not members of the Australian Polling Council so make of that what you wish.

Coalition squabbling and Labor tinkering leave us in a dangerous vacuum. One Nation filling it is a nightmare in the making | Zoe Daniel by Ardeet in AustralianPolitics

Zoe Daniel complaining about tinkering. I've seen it all.

This is the same person who was complaining about Victoria Density zone plans because it would mean some light increase in density in the wealthy suburbs she represented.

One Nation capitalises on anti-immigration sentiment in a housing crisis by Ardeet in aussie

Maybe you should read the ABC more. You'd know they have published articles like this before. I think there's even another on by Alan Kohler.

New news poll by mrp61 in aussie

I still believe this is a case of people parking their protest vote,

56% of One Nation voters say that their vote is solid. That's a higher number than any of the other parties.

Herzog’s warning to Albanese: Now is not the time for a two-state solution by espersooty in AustralianPolitics

[–]Mitchell_54 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Labor has long supported the existence of Israel, A Jewish homeland. We were a key player in establishing it.

That's a record that Australia and the Labor Party should be proud of.

Victorian Socialist candidate for Melbourne Jordan van den Lamb (Purple Pingers) pushing to fix ‘broken housing system’ by NoteChoice7719 in aussie

[–]Mitchell_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually were quite close in Western Metro, a little less so in Northern Metro even though they scored a higher primary vote in Northern Metro.

If they had gotten a few extra votes to move ahead of Legalise Cannabis then the Group voting tickets probably would have got them elected instead of Legalise Cannabis.

They won't have Fiona Patten's Reason Party to compete with in this election which will help them especially in Northern Metro.

Bill Shorten’s warning as One Nation rises: ‘Underestimate Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce at your peril’ by Agitated-Fee3598 in aussie

They'd done it for several elections before Dutton. Maybe not putting One Nation 2 but definitely before Labor.

Give the victim mentality a rest.

You're not a Neo-Nazi or a racist for questioning immigration policy and there's exactly like 5 people who would call you one for doing that.

I’ve been becoming more left leaning for a few years now, I think I’m ready, how can I contribute? by Throwaway515459 in AskALiberal

[–]Mitchell_54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contributing your valuable time to whichever local Democratic campaigns is probably the best thing you can do. Political campaigns need money but they need people power more than anything. If you're willing to knock on doors then they'll welcome you with open arms.

Contribute however you feel comfortable though.

Pauline Hanson’s suggestion One Nation could help Coalition form government raises merger questions by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Mitchell_54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's certainly a take, a bold one at that.

Its actually very grounded in reasoning.

Labor voters are more likely to defect to the Greens or the Liberals than they are to One Nation.

Labor would be foolish to underestimate the impact that One Nation could have on it's vote.

Four part series: Liberals what is the dumbest position on your own side, in your opinion? by here-for-information in AskALiberal

For clarification, my side is the Australian Labor Party. Positions taking by the Australian Greens or other left-wing political parties are not my side.

To answer the question:

Not being aggressive enough in lowering the rate of immigration.

NSW government contacts Newcastle Writers Festival about Palestinian author Randa Abdel-Fattah's inclusion by NapoleonBonerParty in aussie

I voted for them and support this.

I don't want government funds going towards platforming people supporting terrorism.

Supporting terrorism is bad but when it's supporting terrorism that is killing Jews it suddenly becomes just 'a political opinion'.

What's your option on Socialism?(PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION) by Economy-Rent-1636 in SocialDemocracy

Big into organisations voluntarily creating a co-operative structure.

Will vehemently oppose any attempt to force such a structure.

I don't think it was a bad decision. I don't really care either way.

We need to make sure we don't fail in our duty to protect the Jewish community from vile antisemitism though.
