Weekend Wrap and "Liked, Learned, Hated" right here -- How did tipping go?
Can anyone access the latest Newspoll?
curious as to sample size and demographic breakdowns.
incidentally, anyone else reckon if the Libs had gained a point it’d be splashed all over the front page and therefore all over the breakfast news?

This somewhat underrates Labor in Vic. 3.4% uniform swing only nets Chisholm, but there are a half dozen in the 3.7-5.8% range.
They'd probably expect to win at least 3 based on those probabilities.
National or SA based swing?
A good mate of mine works for the federal Greens based in Adelaide.
She says they have done a stack of internal polling and think they have a large swing coming their way nationally.
Interesting thing is that they are not confident of picking up any lower house seats (although she said they have two in play) but that if the voting pattern is repeated in the upper house they are confident that they will pick up 2 more seats in the senate.
National swing but they think it will be quite uniform from what I have gathered. Enough to build power in the senate but not in lower house.
I pushed to ask which two lower house seats could potentially be in play but they would not tell me.
Higgins and maybe KooyongGuessing Higgins...
Higgins and maybe Kooyong
Even Macnamara perhaps
Well labors thin chances in country wa just got funked by mcgowans power grab.
once in a lifetime labor supporters running back to the coalition
A correction was and is always inevitable.
As you said, they were once in a lifetime alp voters, they were never voting twice for the alp. Be it this, or something as lame as Freo winning something, they would have found a reason to return home because they want to return home.
Same for vic, talk of an expanded majority is insane
the question is whether there will be focal collapses in the primary vote for coalition in those seats leading to independents capturing seatsagreed.
Labor's vote share in Vic and WA (On a State basis) have hit a high point. Claims that Vic Labor may expand on it's vote share/majority may as well dispute gravity.
Federal election will probs see significant gains for ALP but not on the scale seen in state polling numbers. (How that translates into seat gains is the key).
Lol the chances of freo winning something is hardly statistically likely enough to constitute any sort of data point.A correction was and is always inevitable.

thinking it could be a collapse at this upcoming election and then with a major clean out comes some respectability and a rapid rebuild to be back in contention 2025 (aided by certain media portrayal of the inevitable rise in interest rates, ALP having not achieved what they promised/ hinted at, etc etcusually a party gets new blood and their sh*t together. epoch changes in party arrangements can happen, but are bloody rare
look at QLD. even after all the sh*t that has happened there over the last 40 years, all that happened was the LNP merger

Sorry wasn’t meaning start new, just removal of dead wood and the metaphorical rebirth for 2025 (still called lnp)the key issue is name recognition and infrastructure
if you start new, you lose all of that. AS, UAP and PHON only got it because of the profile of their leaders, and the greens took decades before the larger population took them seriously
