Oh hey, my #auspol #JSCEM submission [235] got approved in the same tranche as @kevinbonham.bsky.social [243] today! (With how late to it I know we both were (at least prior to the February extension) I wasn't expecting either to hit the web until after the new year.)

Another #auspol year over, another Dynamic Rüd from the Senate: adjourned.senate.gov.au/2025/
Unfortunately, Rudolph's anti-discrimination bill has once more been referred to committee. No reindeer games for the poor chap this year.

Another #auspol election, another #JSCEM submission from Mackerras [0141] railing hopelessly against the idea that, maybe, sometimes, lying to the public by instructing them to do more than strictly required on Senate ballots MIGHT actually be acting in their best interests.

Actually learnt something about parliamentary procedure today. The pro forma Acts Enumeration Amendment Bill is a fascinating bit of legislative tradition. #politas

i really don't see a path for di falco to make a #politas deal with either major party, and that's probably bad news for the liberals

One is left wondering what the point of any of this was. At least the deckchairs are nicely shuffled.
Dishonourable mention to the Nationals, who on early figures haven't even outpolled SFF. Truly, bafflingly terrible showing. #politas

realising now that not only have i misinterpreted Schedule 3(1A)(4), but even my misinterpreted text is not correctly implemented (no one noticed the first half was the same as the second half?), but that's okay, it'll be correct when it matters

Thinking today about how every change to the #politas electoral system since Federation has failed to have the intended effect. 1909, switch to Hare-Clark to hurt Labor, Labor improves position. 1959, 30>35 to stop deadlocks, immediately produces hung parliament. 1/2

Apparently after they said this the polling places went up on Saturday. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #politas
Aaaaaand we're delayed to (at least) next Wednesday. #politas
After first delaying the release of pre-polling locations from 23 June to sometime that week (26 ended up being it) and then similarly delaying the polling day booths from 30 June, here we are on Friday and I've seen nothing. Sounds like the TEC are having a rough time. #politas
