Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. Take an interest and be clear in what you want.

@RightisRight___ @BinManIan I know what it is. I'm 60k short of that bracket though. It will be a long-time before I fall into it.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@RightisRight___ @BinManIan I don't earn enough to be in the 37% tax bracket.

I don't care whether they did it for me or not, it benefited me.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@InakiLonga @RobKPF @Notwokenow That's not true.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@RightisRight___ @BinManIan Labor's stage 3 tax cuts put more money in my pocket than the LNP version would have.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@InakiLonga @RobKPF @Notwokenow Yes. You have to ask questions about specific circumstances and have contingencies when running elections. People have a right to vote and a lack of imagination or care by officials isn't a good reason to deny that, especially when there's easy solutions.

@IndyFilmPro @MaxwellJadot @omgTrex22 Do candidates have to put down a deposit when they run?

If not, That would be a place to start to prevent any random who's not serious about running putting their name on the ticket.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@TheDevonWayne @Notwokenow It's the jungle primary, not the general.

Winning is making the Top 2. If some mythical Democratic plot were going to steal/lose votes then it would be to advantage Steyer at the expense of Hilton. If the plot were to give votes to Becerra, it doesn't get them anything.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@InakiLonga @RobKPF @Notwokenow What if they receive their ballot late?
Or postal access where they live is patchy?
What if they unexpectedly find themselves in hospital?

@mumbletwits @Twinkocalypse Apparently the above person has me blocked but I don't think Sharkie would be vulnerable to losing to One Nation as long as her primary doesn't slide and she misses the 2CP.

Haines is a strong incumbent but probably in territory that is going to be more One Nation friendly.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@HendrikGout It would be great if that link backed up your claim but it doesn't.

Just because it is on the low end, doesn't mean it's not statistically relevant or accurate.

Maybe you shouldn't be trying to butcher The University of Melbourne's work.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@JamesEisen1891 I mean One Nation after 1998 just kinda disappeared or maybe more accurately went into hibernation.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@Brendon5374 Dude. Please stop with the denialism. It doesn't help anyone.

The pollsters were very accurate regarding the South Australian result as they have broadly been for as long as I can remember.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@CamelTamer @DomokunNakamoto @AusPoll6 He has a book you can read. I tried to listen to it via Spotify.

Don't recommend it though. For reasons above. Like Turnbull, he's thinks he's better than other people. That's how he comes across anyway.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@CamelTamer @DomokunNakamoto @AusPoll6 One Nation has received way more financial support from Gina Rinehart than the teals have from Simon Holmes a Court.

They're both slimy snobs though.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@RickFHarris @Potstirrer111 This is just blatant denial of the science.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@Trev__Says You're in deep denial.

If she runs in Wright, she will win. Any lonely with the One Nation label next to their name on the ballot box would win Wright as it currently stands.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@AndrewM4000 @kevinbonham When did that happen?

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@Rutzie9 @Lord_Beesus No I think your one is.

[Michael Stanton @MStanton2001]

@Free_Austalia @emubrigadier @realRick_AUS No, I don't.

I've only got superannuation which is still being taxed at the same rate.
