@difficultnerd I suspect it's over SRL - Vics thought the feds would just fund it. Feds would rather have airport rail. Chaos ensures.

@Leo_Puglisi6 Your schoolwork?

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@kevinbonham Will we finally see the end of the splitting of Franklin @kevinbonham or is that a bridge too far?

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@wjm13_ What did Menzies say about noisy democrats?

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@Leo_Puglisi6 I hear this is her policy platform

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@wjm13_ And if only it was sitting today

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@SquiggleAFL Would love to game test this

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@wjm13_ This is why Vampire Weekend wrote a song about the Oxford comma.

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@hamhammer27 Because John Coates (IOC Vice-President) basically saved the Tokyo Olympics, and therefore the IOC higher ups felt the need to return the favour. As for Brisbane - the AOC has wanted Brisbane as a host city since 92, at the expense of particularly Melbourne.

@difficultnerd Did you make it in time to vote?

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@wjm13_ @KosSamaras Depends on how sectarian the candidate will end up being I guess?

Alternatively, they could ride a wave on vibes before people realise what they've done, which is possibly what may cause some trouble for one or two teals.

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@hamhammer27 Only time we should see the children of an MP is on the election night podium, and the Christmas card.

Spouse should also be entitled to that level of publicity should they want it, and several do (some don't, and in which case the scrutiny should be proportional).

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@kevinbonham Perfect, thank you for explaining Kevin

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@kevinbonham Aren't most single issue polls, if not poll shaped objects, at least treat with heavy scepticism? Could be wrong, would appreciate your view.

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@kevinbonham Wasn't that an issue for her last time as well? I seem to recall that of the teals she was the one that was the closest to being third. Could be very wrong.

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

Bad take by @Mon4Kooyong. No other body in Australia has the evidence-gathering power of an RC. And the RC made referrals for further prosecution, which take time to conduct. To say NACC is broken because of not investigating something already investigated is absurd. #auspol

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

The Robodebt Royal Commission report described a tragic saga of ‘venality, incompetence and cowardice.’

It’s hard to understand how the NACC decided last week that further action on this is “not in the public interest”.

Feels like it *is* in the public interest.

[Samuel Smeele @ssmeele]

@kevinbonham I believe Monique Ryan was briefly a member of the ALP between 2007-2010

Either RedBridge or Resolve has a polling error on ALP Primary - ALP 28 Resolve on 18th May, ALP 35 according to Redbridge.
There hasn't been enough for the ALP to have regained 7 points on primary, especially at state level #vicpol

@libmodimelb @KosSamaras @rachelrwithers I don't have the stats in front of me, but if I had to guess, if you incorporate the higher number of apartments in Toorak built in the 60's and 70's that are generally cheaper than Brunswick apartments, there's an argument. I don't find it a compelling one though.
