I was reading the first part of your comment thinking that anything left of the greens is too nutty for me, but then I would absolutely vote for any of those three policies.
This is a pretty common view where people think the Greens (or left of that) are extremist, but when given actual Green’s policies tend to prefer those policies when polled.
That and women might have other aspirations than being baby factories. Who knew women had their own hopes and interests?
Reminds me of all of the back and forth between optional and full preferential voting at the state level. Usually the change would only happen because the government at the time thought they would benefit from it, only for it to backfire an election cycle or two later.
Not to mention decades of older content, and nobody could have possibly played everything good that has ever been released.
Also I’m cracking up at Andrew Bolt blaming the voters for the loss:
“No, the voters aren’t always right. This time they were wrong,” Bolt wrote. The reason for the loss? It was because the Liberal party “refused to fight the ‘culture wars’”.
On the one hand, a bit disappointed that the Greens haven’t done amazingly on results so far. But I have a huge sense of relief that Dutton and the Coalition have been soundly rejected.
PollBludger calling Dickson for Labor.
Interesting, which electorate? I redid the survey and got the same results (could be consistent with IP).
It’s possible to match with Palmer just because he’s throwing out a bunch of policies that might sound good but have no logical consistency or anything backing it. Probably the survey should account for that if it isn’t already.
In any case, you can select your own preferences and build your own paper, which is the main reason I posted it. Ideally it would let you skip the survey process too, particularly since it requires an email at the end (I used a throwaway).
You could recommend droidify which is a bit more straightforward as a client.
It’s not always takedowns either, just the developer deciding to nuke their own repos. Real annoying, although it’s making me more vigilant about forking/mirroring important repos.
Hopefully Australia follows suit, as we have our own Temu Trump in opposition coming into our election.
Is there a link to the actual study? The American Journal link seems to be a different one, and that one has a massive list of types of items classified as UPF (check Appendix A, Table 1), so it’s hard to identify what the causal factor(s) are.
A basic FIFO scheduler from what I understand, which isn’t ideal.
Later at the same meeting, Boyce said blackouts were “a big political opportunity” and that he had urged fellow MPs to adopt a “do-nothing strategy” that would allow power outages and build opposition to net zero policies.
Right out of the conservative playbook. Make things objectively worse, blame the “left” for it, then pretend you have a better solution for it.
There’s often this revisionist history about things as well. Labor wouldn’t negotiate with the Greens over the original ETS, and the Greens get blamed for it not passing. Only a few years later they work together and make a better policy (the carbon price). Abbott comes in and tears it up. Current Labor supporters either conveniently forget this ever happened, or they somehow argue that Abbott would have teared up the carbon price but not the ETS.
I think there’s room for both, as in the old days there was typically an IRC channel along side forums that was typically a secondary channel (but not always).
But yeah, forums would be ideal, preferably with federation support so there is no need to make an account with every single one.
The false dichotomy rhetoric of “they’re better than the other party” is just insufferable, and the US has shown us how the two-party duopoly plays out.
Just make sure you preference Labor ahead of the Coalition. That’s the risk of “both sides” rhetoric, although I would hope that most people here understand this.
Investigate your candidates.
Agreed. The guardian have a short summary on the minor parties although it could stand to take slightly more of an opinion on some of the parties.
I use it for my self hosted apps, but yeah, it’s rarely useful for websites in the wild.
