Just unlurking for a moment to say that this and David Pope’s “Fuck off we’re deeply concerned for your safety at sea” are tied for my two favourite political cartoons of all time.

EAC is the phone votes, not a physical polling place. No blind or Antarctic votes in that electorate, maybe.

An Uber driver told me that there was a multi-year wait list for new hybrid Camrys in Canberra (so he bought a BYD instead).

Back in my old job I made an R package to make this sort of thing (relatively) easy. If you’re clever if you even be able to find a (slightly out of date) version of it floating around somewhere.

I’ve only started listening to this but one factor is it’s really difficult to avoid enrollment these days. If the AEC sends you a direct enrolment letter, it won’t take no for an answer. If you’re eligible, you don’t have a right not to be enrolled.

A copy came with my old office.

My usual people-who-know-everyone don’t know what’s going on, but it looks expensive, so someone knows.

Completely agree. One of the things I miss about my old job was the semi-regular 45-minute phone chats with Antony (mostly him talking).
