@kevinbonham I’m a huge fan of the citizen jury model and think it could be applied here but it wouldn’t address your concern of not giving the full population an opportunity to have the final say.
What’s the alternative, though? A straight up and down national vote?
Reminder about electoral spam texts generally - they're allowed because parliaments don't ban them. As with so many other things, the AEC has no control.
I'd like to see a Sunday show devoted to the misinformation of the week: Take whatever lie is doing the most damage, debunk it, and explain the motives of those spreading it. And then make it available all week.
What’s a double majority & why do referendums have it?
To change the Constitution, a proposal must be approved by a majority of formal votes cast nationally & a majority in the majorty of states (i.e at least 4 of the 6 states).

@jeremy_gans …is it designed to avoid false charges for when someone jumps into the wrong car thinking it’s their Uber? Legit the only thing I can think of.
@llewbu It’s all just so sad. It was always super fun to share a gif from this account from a work account and see one or two people get it and have their minds blown.
Minor in the grand scheme of things but another fun account killed by stupid changes to this platform. I like seeing people in spandex punch and kick and do explosions and sharing gifs of same like a modern form of hieroglyphics.
The paywall to Tweetdeck has finally hit and since this account was run on it, there was no doubt it would affect things for me significantly. I apologize for speaking up but I feel like it's necessary given the circumstances.
