Used to tell true tall tales professionally. Now I'm a writer of things. He/Him. Also have a youtube channel, because of course I do.

@kevinbonham But why is it always people who are currently alive, and of the opposite gender? Pick three more interesting people! Who are safely dead!

@motelbad It’s a roadmap. They’re not all “major” roads (source: I’ve driven down a lot of them), but they’re showing the only ways to get to some places.

I’m probably most surprised by the inclusion of the one in the bottom left corner which goes out to Edgar Dam.

@kevinbonham Any inklings as to when the announcement of final electorates will be for Tasmania? The only hints I’ve got from their website are “Q2” and “expected”. Have I missed any other clues?

@immyonboard In 2022 the Liberal staffers bought us all coffee. I managed to persuade the guy handing out HTVs for the UAP to start telling people not to vote for the Libertarians, who were number 2 on their preference list.

@kevinbonham If this was Reddit that’s all you would get in response to this post.

@DrewHutton45645 Because reform is so supportive of Trans rights?

[Angus @Aysthete]

@Maggie_Perry6 @wozzak Maggie is understandably excited about all the positive things One Nation would do for her. /s 🤣

[Angus @Aysthete]

@kevinbonham What are the chances of One Nation being part of a state government or state opposition before the next federal election?

[Angus @Aysthete]

@theatlaspro G’day mate, just watched your video about grains. Thought you might want to have a quick look at https://t.co/hmzvePe9uh

@kevinbonham Kitsos and Elliot would have voted opposite ways. Harvey was an abstention.

[Angus @Aysthete]

@kevinbonham But your opinions are the best bit!

[Angus @Aysthete]

@leftinista He is the Ed Milibandaid this country needs.

[Angus @Aysthete]

@kevinbonham If you use Andrew Conway’s senate website, the JLN won in 2022 at the expense of the Liberals, and in 2025 at the expense of Labor. So arguably if Tyrell is running third on Labor’s ticket she’s got a chance.

[Angus @Aysthete]

@Maggie_Perry6 Any reason there was such a large swing against the Greens? I’m surprised they were polling at 9% in ‘22.

[Angus @Aysthete]

@Ed_Miliband Save us Ed Miliband! Become Prime Minister, bring electoral reform, and be the progressive Ed Mili-Bandaid the Labour Party and the country neeeds!

[Angus @Aysthete]

@gasugasu1984 @owenjonesjourno It’s almost like Kier Starmer saying he’d fix it before getting elected, and then immediately going back on that was a bad move.

[Angus @Aysthete]

@whorememberspod Genuinely though it was made during the late 80s until he said Theresa May.

[Angus @Aysthete]

@felix_ellis But also, is that a bad thing? What’s wrong with the road being closed when there’s snow?

[Angus @Aysthete]

@kevinbonham @BenMessenger8 I count 6 between 1918 and today - which is around 14.6%. 1940, 1954, 1961, 1969, 1990, and 1998.

So not good, but yes you’re right it is below 20%.

(Bearing in mind as well at some of those elections at least a couple of candidates were unopposed which skews the numbers.)

[Angus @Aysthete]

@BenMessenger8 @kevinbonham Okay, but the problem with “wrong winner” elections also happens about 20% of the time under AV, thanks to single member (that is, winner takes all) electorates.
