I believe we need to switch from things like payroll tax to automation tax.

Employee numbers have long been used as a proxy for productivity, but that’s becoming less and less fit for purpose.

It’s not an assumption – it’s speculation.

The future is unknown, so see have no choice but to speculate.

The same is not true for things that have actually happened.

My mistake. I thought your questions were asked in good faith.

Carry on!

Voters in traditional Liberal safe seats likely turned to Labor for very different reasons to Greens voters.

And why did Labor voters in Bean swing so heavily to an independent?

It’s a mosaic of many smaller stories that will take a while to piece together. Anything less is a disservice.

Because sampling matters.

You’re not telling the actual story of what happened unless it’s reflective of the voting public at large.

I could go to Reddit or X and hear people give their POV, but I’d be getting biased and algorithmically skewed data.

This is a very good point. There’s some inherent assumptions that don’t necessarily play out.

It’s perfectly possible to be politically progressive but also reluctant to constitutionally enshrine an advisory body without a proven model.

Opposition to enshrinement ≠ opposition to the Voice.

That’s a story for when the count is over and a proper analysis has been done. Right now, all we have are a few vox pops and insider opinions.

The immediate question is: “What does the election result mean for our future?”.

Is he threatening us with UBI and a good time?

Every election, Sky News slams the LNP for being too woke.

Afterwards, the Libs undertake a rigorous review and engage in serious self-reflection.

And without fail, they decide the solution is to lurch further to the right.

I was hoping for the same – would loved to have seen a big crossbench.

But this is, without a doubt, the second best outcome.

I imagine Harry #Dutton is breathing a sigh of relief tonight.

Daddy can finally buy him a house without having to worry about the optics.

I’ve gotta say, Dutton delivering his concession speech is the most human and agreeable he’s ever seemed.

I suspect he’s a man who’s happy to be out of the hot seat.

My heartfelt condolences to the #LNP voters and #Dutton supporters of Dickson.

#australiavotes #australiadecides #auspol

I think they’ll reflect long and hard, battle it out in the party room and decide they’re not right wing enough.

A big congrats to Ali France – years of work has finally paid dividends.

She just made Dickson the hardest won (and most deserved) seat in Australia.

Genuine spank bank material 🤣

The election’s been called and he’s still fellating Dutton

James McGrath is everything that’s wrong with Australian politics.

Loyalty to party and leader above all.

I don’t see the point of having him on the panel – he could have been replaced by a trained parrot.

You can’t trust the US to do the right thing, but you can trust Canadians.

I hope Carney’s Liberal government serves our Commonwealth cousins well.

I think the Flugelhorn of Fuckwits has a certain ring to it

Blah, blah, Trumputin,
Puppet of the KGB;
We mustn’t quit, ‘til we have his head.

Blah, blah, Trumputin,
Russia’s great accessory;
And so we’ll fight him until red is dead.

[SPOKEN]

Oh, those Republicans…

Blah, blah, Trumputin,
Puppet of the KGB;
He is a madman leading the blind.

Blah, blah, Trumputin,
Russia’s great accessory;
He pours the Kool-Aid and says “it’s fine”.

‘Til, one day, some Dems with understanding
Fight his crap, put out the flame.

"Karma visit Don" we’ll keep demanding
‘Cause he is to blame.

"This man's just got to go!" declares democracy;
And the cultists cry "it’s chess played in 4D".

No doubt this autocrat is cause of untold harm;
Though he is a fool they see no cause for alarm.

[SPOKEN]

But when his betrayal and treason and his hunger for power become known to more and more people, the demands to do something about this outrageous man will get louder and louder.

[CHORUS]

Blah, blah, Trumputin,
Puppet of the KGB;
He is a fat-cat the world needs gone.
Blah-blah Trumputin,
Russia’s great accessory;
It’s such a shame how he carries on.

Still he claims he is an artful dealer;
Though we’ve seen the Dow Jones plunge.

He’ll receive no maple or tequila
‘Til his trade war’s done.

He rules the US land but always mind the Czar;
While the sieg heil Musk does is really wunderbar.

In all affairs of state, he is the man to please;
And he feels real great when JD is on his knees.

[CHORUS]

Blah, blah, Trumputin,
Puppet of the KGB;
He is a fat-cat the world needs gone.

Blah-blah Trumputin,
Russia’s great accessory;
It’s such a shame how he carries on.

There lives a Floridian in Mar-a-Lago
He is bigly blond, in his face an orange glow.
Sane people look at him with disdain and with fear
But to MAGA dicks he is still a leader dear.

He will speak in babble like a geezer
Full of prejudice and ire
But he also is the kind of Caesar
Red hats all desire.
