I doubt ON punters understand pref voting.
It’s NOT 1st past the post.
In House voting, scoring 30% on the first count is nothing unless 20% of those who DIDN’T vote for you as their 1st pref then chose you as their 2nd pref.
But why would a voter give ON 2nd pref but not 1st!
For ON supporters who of course have no idea how voting for the House of Reps work.
To win a seat you have to get 50% +1 votes.
ON candidate MIGHT get 30%. But where will the additional 20% come from when 70% of voters dislike ON.
See the prob.
Pref voting is great!

RECORD 50,000 HEAT DEATHS IN EUROPE, SUMMER 2026
Over 50,000 people in Europe’s towns and cities died because of the heat, and 'nearly two-thirds of those deaths would not have happened in a climate untouched by fossil fuel burning'.
23 Oct. 2026, Europe Say #heatwave #climatechange. #globalwarming
ON Vic Parl candidate/video maker Nicholson is on 7.30
He refuses to admit the Lambie “vag prolapse” video is inappropriate n refuses to apologise.
In a “comedy” scene a very black youth wields a machete. He says he made the youth black to be racially “inclusive”
Disgraceful.
Very different QT today; docile.
I think I heard Speaker Mr Dick’s voice twice. Once to chastise Tim Wilson, n once for a point of order by Mr McCormack; the only POO of the day.
You might think Mr Tehan was absent, but he was there.
Also only 1 interjectn.
Pleasing indeed.
Just tuned into House of Reps livestream to see how the day (given over to the HH tragedy) is going.
Just my luck. Michelle Landry is speaking.
Reading from page after page of uninspiring rambling.
No wonder the Nats are on the way out.
This poster is very (literally) ignorant. He doesn’t understand how humour, including cartoons, can sanitize socially unacceptable taboos.
It’s called desensitization. By such cartoons the boundaries of socially acceptable conduct are stretched.
Hateful conduct is normalized.
It might just be my feed but I get the impression that there is just slightly less aggro here today.
Maybe “they” (the RW pseudo Christians) are at church, it being Sunday.
Blocked about a dozen today. RWFWs who after 2 or 3 engages still kept repeating their first posted (nonsensical and/or uninformed) assertion, despite my presenting Indep contra facts.
Life is too short.

AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett most impressive on #insiders. More power to her.

A vote for One Nation is a vote to allow a political party to severely harass, abuse & threaten any of your family & friends!

Please repost.
Hmmmm.
LNP aren’t clean skins are they, this, Abbott, Bell, Mirabella back in the day.
Entrenched aggro.
Murdoch alcoholic Prue MacSween getting on her high horse about Helen Haines & Albo.
Prue MacSween said this about Yassmin Abdel in 2017-
“I’m tempted to run over Yassmin Abdel Magied”
Another vile hypocritical RWNJ.

Love the last lines.
I'd be the first to admit that Albanese didn't handle his response very well at all, but the rampant hypocrisy over 'dirt sheets' - especially from the likes of Peta Credlin - really is next level. Dirt sheets have been around ever since the bloke who discovered papyrus said : "fuck me, you can write on this".
#insiders Greg Brown’s final sum up. He chooses to raise the Covid Lockdown review which says that lockdowns were too severe.
Really….. a retrospective view says state govts’ (SUCCESSFUL) efforts to save many lives in a never experienced before pandemic wasn’t perfect.
FMD
#insiders It is not uncommon to hear of aggro spectators to be banned for life from sporting events.
Can’t this happen with soc media.
Could life bans be part of the current negotiations between govt n meta n other platforms.
#insiders It’s Greg Brown from The Australian (and strangely Mark Kenny agreed with him)
If they (as alleged journos who use the language as their tool of trade every day)don’t understand figures of speech like “turning the temperature down” then gawd help us.
#insiders "Turning the temperature down is a vague concept" says Greg the journalist from the Australian newspaper. You must be kidding!
