My 'professional', seldom-used account now on the Bluesky. Views my own etc. Senior Tutor UniMelb. PolSci PhD. Part-time performer. Obscure references in ppt slides complete me.
I've been reading a lot of different universities approaches to AI and got thinking a lot on what the future looks like and am procrastinating by sending some Skeets into the void haha.

GVT abolition is a must, but it would be interesting if anything else got up as I don't think Victoria's had a referendum since statehood. It might just have to be 8x5, which to me given it's not malapportioned and based on lower house district borders, is largely the best way to do that system.

MythBusters tested it and had it as 'confirmed' so I reckon it's a thing.

1975 is the peak of two-party Australia. It's been nothing but slow decay for both party groupings since.

It seems like that will be what it takes for parties to sit up and take notice given only WA's gone ahead.

I absolutely have albums that are for marking to and employ a lot of RPG boss battle music.

WAEC had a really bad 2025, which might explain state/territory to a point.

As a Senate watcher, their Senate vote was massive. Even in previously safe Green seats the Labor vote shot right up.

Maybe it's a commentary of the quality.
