Want to know how conservative NSW is? ABC haven't even bothered to get a Green on, unlike during #VICVotes. #NSWVotes

Speers won't mention #VICVotes at all. Too frightening to NSW Libs #NSWVotes

Liberal strategist Tony Barry, the dude who had zero fucks to give on the #VicVotes broadcast, is back for #NSWVotes

Normally the fare rise for 1st January would have been announced by now.
Fair enough the decision may have been delayed by the #VicVotes state election, but given it's usually based on CPI (and inflation has been high this year) they might be trying to bury the announcement during the Christmas period.

This is interesting, The Age has a tool that allows you to search on specific polling booth results at the recent state election. I’ve attached a screenshot of the booth I voted at in North Melbourne, looks pretty leftie! :)

Today's blog post is about the Victorian Legislative Council, and how different electoral systems would have produced different seat results. It's a follow-up to a number of posts I did before the election based on 2018 data.

Today's blog post looks at the dropping vote for the major parties at #VicVotes and how that has led to the most disproportional (lower house) result in >50 years. https://www.tallyroom.com.au/50513

After electing the most culturally diverse federal parliament ever in May, it is really disappointing that culturally diverse parliamentary representation has gone backwards in Victoria.

I spoke to @theage about the need for Australian political parties to take this underrepresentation seriously.

One problem with proportional representation is that very minor parties get seats, as we see with the upper house results from the recent Vic election, with the Cannabis Party getting 2 seats and Pauline Hanson's One Nation getting 1. As opposed to the Greens getting 4. #vicvotes #vicpol

So in Victoria’s upper house, the result for parties on the left is:

Labor 15
Greens 4
Legalise Cannabis 2
Animal Welfare 1

That’s a majority, with one to spare. The Liberal/National coalition won 14 seats, and there were 4 other seats each going to a different right-wing party (One Nation, DLP, LDP, Shooters Fishers & Farmers).

#SpringSt #VicVotes #VicPol #Victoria #Australia

Very pleased with this, as Victoria's rotten group voting system in the upper house has disadvantaged the Greens in the past. 4 seats won out of 40 is fair, given the party's roughly 10% first preference vote.

For those playing along at home this is 22 seats to Progressive parties, and 18 to Regressive ones. We can work with this. #auspol #vicvotes
