Politics is a popularity contest, but is it a personality hire? Politicians aren’t known for their warmth and rizz, but surely character traits have some sway on voting habits.

My comments on why the personality of leaders is important to voters but not the driving force.

"What is driving voters’ intentions is habits of a lifetime, the state of the economy, how well things are going for them, where they come from." #auspol

Australian election result is not a foregone conclusion The 2024 Australian election result is not a foregone conclusion, despite what you might have read.

Done be fooled, the election result is not a foregone conclusion. Read my blog on why a Labor majority, a Coalition majority and a hung Parliament are all realistic options #auspol

In interpreting these findings, I think it shows that Australians aren’t against wealth creation in principle, but they are very sceptical of those in power who have these very high levels of wealth.

With billionaires being in the news a lot lately, #DemosAU decided to do a poll.

It found Australians believe:
πŸ‘‰Billionaires have too much influence in politics (77%)
πŸ‘‰They should pay more tax (81%)
πŸ‘‰ They earn their wealth at the expense of ordinary people (69%). #auspol

My last-election aggregate thinks this poll is pretty good for Labor but is cautious because it only has two polls by DemosAU; it cuts Coalition lead to 50.2-49.8.
