I've been playing with sankey charts to see how seats in the lower house have been changing over time.
It's interesting to see the double defeat of the Coalition over two cycles and how big a mountain it is for them to return to power caseybriggs.substack.com/p/australias...

The Australian Electoral Commission has agreed to conduct a partial recount in Goldstein.
The recount will look at first preference ballot papers for myself and Tim Wilson, and all informal ballot papers.
I will be making no further comment until the process is complete.

The Liberals have spent 20 years focusing their election campaigns on culture warring and fear mongering against Labor. This is because they do not have any ideological interest in policies that are good for the masses - they only serve a narrow elite constituency. This is the elephant in the room.

Zoe Daniel has requested a recount in #Goldstein in part citing the unusual count fluctuations we have seen in recent days. The Returning Officer will rule on the request and if the request is rejected she can appeal to the Electoral Commissioner.

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.

Fascinating that Insiders are making an absolute mountain out of a molehill over Labor leaving two former ministers out of cabinet. This is normal government business - reshuffles happen all the time. It is not scandalous. A terrible case of false balance - bashing Labor over the only thing they can
