As usually AI search results (from Bing) are really awful! I was hoping to attend the first @jawspolisci.bsky.social seminar, so needed to check the time in Australia. Unfortunately Bing was out by 8hrs?? It 1pm Eastern is 3am in Syd/Canberra.

The best bit of this article is that they need to describe an “own goal” to an American audience

With #Robodebt again back in the news with the release of the SBS series #ThePeoplevsRobodebt being released, here is my paper exploring how the broader Aus Public Service engaged in learning and meaning-making after this public admin crisis.

Given all of the attention around Albo and Trump, have a look at this piece of mine on how Aus MPs deal with Trump - and Zoom in and listen to me talk about it in a few weeks time ecpr.eu/Events/332?_...

A fire at a synagogue in southwest Florida days before Rosh Hashanah is being investigated as a hate crime, police say.

I’ll be presenting this work at an @ecpr-polcom.bsky.social online workshop, Tuesday 14 October, 11:00 BST / 12:00 CEST Come along! ecpr.eu/Events/332?_...

Important finding! Australian MPs are better at photoshop than their UK counterparts! What else Aus & UK MPs say to their constituents? Adam Ozer and I investigate. This new dataset can be used in a broad range of polsci, polcomm & policy research. theloop.ecpr.eu/politicians-...

A great new dataset of Aus & UK MPs’ communications with their constituents. These are growing, real-time corpora of elite political communication. Explore them now! @ecpr-polcom.bsky.social @psabcpe.bsky.social @psaexecpolitics.bsky.social @psaepop.bsky.social @psabcpe.bsky.social

📣 Politicians communicate with their constituents every day, but what are they saying? 💻 @danielcaseycbr.bsky.social + @ozerthinking.bsky.social  examine new datasets which allow researchers to access every e-newsletter sent by MPs in Australia and the UK. 👉 bit.ly/3Vc2Ns4

Do I (still) know anyone from PoliSci with expertise on contemporary Hungarian 🇭🇺 politics? And who wouldn't mind me bugging them with a couple of questions over email? If we ever meet in person, I will owe you a beverage of your choice :)

Just giving this package another plug. I think I'm using it (or stuff derived from it) for about 4 different papers at the moment. We don't give enough credit to the academics developing/maintaining this crucial research infrastructure.

My new piece @E_IR, exploring why ALP MPs are strategically ignoring Trump. Are they caught between being responsive to their electorate and knowing they need to maintain the US alliance? I draw on canberrainbox.com.au to test this. www.e-ir.info/2025/08/30/a...

So, I've discovered a book on translation has cited a publication of mine... My publication is on "punctuated equilibrium" and its cited in this book in the chapter on punctuation.... I suspect the whole thing is AI written??? @grahamkendall.bsky.social thoughts?

Are there other online/virtual ECR seminars like @jawspolisci.bsky.social for polcomm / political parties? @polcomm.bsky.social @ecpr-polcom.bsky.social @psaepop.bsky.social

My first podcast! Voices beyond the ballot: How letters shape Australian politics With @marijataflaga.bsky.social, drawing from my thesis and recent article in @govandopp.bsky.social (shorturl.at/XMHR7). act.ipaa.org.au/ipaa-podcast/voices-beyond-the-ballot-how-letters-shape-australian-politics/

David Stratton's infamous review of The Castle (1997). He later admitted: "I obviously completely misunderstood it ... I have watched it a few times since, and I now think it’s very funny."

New on #FirstView - "Responsiveness to the Public Opinion Expressed in Letters to Political Leaders: Insights from Australia" - shorturl.at/XMHR7 by @danielcaseycbr.bsky.social

Great that @squigglyrick.bsky.social's Mean Streak is shortlisted for PM's Book Awards. He mentions the APS's failure to learn, drawing on my research (doi.org/10.1080/1350...). I've got an upcoming webinar where we discuss 'where to from here', after Robodebt more info: tinyurl.com/yndcybhb

So pleased I spent hours reporting students for academic misconduct for using ChatGPT to write their entire essay, full of fake references..... Academic integrity unit confirmed that the student DID engage in academic misconduct, with..... "no academic penalty" WHAT!

New article & 1st from my PhD! Is there a rel’ship between letters from the public to the Prime Minister & topics of speeches. I find evidence of deliberate, systemic non-responsiveness. The PM knowingly ignored this form of public opinion. @govandopp.bsky.social doi.org/10.1017/gov....

I was looking at a travel grant for ECRs, and got to the eligibility section As someone who is 1yr post PhD, what am I? Chopped liver? Very early career?

1 like = you cite one of my works and I don’t care if you ever read it

2yrs since #Robodebt Report, we turn our attention to whether the APS is responding/learning. In this ANU Policy Brief @mariamaley4 & I look at how the broader APS is responding. policybrief.anu.edu.au/aps-leaders-... @themandarin.bsky.social @anucrawfordschool.bsky.social

Just watched #Annie the Musical in Melb. Great to see major political platforms turned into song - “We’re getting a New Deal for Christmas” What other major political policies could be turned into song? “Fightback for Valentines Day?” www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkIB...

This week I wrote a short blog post for @powertopersuade.bsky.social reflecting on the challenges for organisations learning from failures, particularly where that failure was “someone else’s fault,” or happened “over there,” drawing on the Australian case of Robodebt.

In today's post @danielcaseycbr.bsky.social explores how government communicated internally about the lessons to be learned from Robodebt. www.powertopersuade.org.au/blog/learnin...

The wonders of ethics applications. I'm being asked: "What types of computer files will be generated, .doc.xls,PDF?)" Seriously? The committee wants to know if I'm saving things as a CSV or an Excel file? @academic-chatter.bsky.social

We went out to watch Superman last night and my wonderful daughter insisted I stopped here for a photo! #cbr

Just finished this. Amazing book, amazing story. Reconfirms my pride as a Jew and as a Zionist. Great insights into the Israeli psyche, which helps to understand the current conflict.

Just listened to @jillesheppard.bsky.social on @benraue.com's podcast, discussing the AES. An old podcast, but v useful. I'm assigning it to my students this coming semester. tallyroom.podbean.com/e/32-the-australian-election-study/

Looking for data on whether its normal for bicameral parliaments to draw their Cabinets from both chambers. In Aus obv its the norm. But in UK seems abnormal.

You heard it people. It’s a wonderful package. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination (in the context of comprehensive data on Australian parliamentarians since federation) github.com/palesl/ausph

And also looking for a list of Federal MPs that have defected between the Libs & Nats (e.g. Price)

Looking to track down which Nats were 'coalition Nationals' and which were not during the Joh for PM debacle. Thanks in advance. @benraue.com @kevinbonham.bsky.social @pollytics.bsky.social
