2026 South Australian Election Preview antonygreen.com.au/sa2026-south... by @antonygreenelec.bsky.social #savotes #saparli

Early voting going gangbusters for the SA election. With two days to go, numbers have passed total for 2022. This is first SA election where Early votes will be counted on the night. This post has the early and postal numbers plus detailed figures by district. antonygreen.com.au/sa2026-track...

Sometimes, just sometimes, you stumble on the Old Internet like I did today. Last updated 18 October 1997. The html is beautiful, looks like he could have written it on a notepad on the bus. leftfield.org/~rawdon/musi...

Tomorrow's the big day – here's what the pollsters are saying before the South Australian election ⬇️ Labor retains the lead in every poll (ranging from 59% to 61% on a two-party-preferred basis in polls that included that figure), while One Nation is between 21% and 28%

The world’s energy watchdog has advised governments to reduce highway speeds and encouraged workers to carpool or, ideally, work from home to combat soaring oil prices and impending fuel shortages caused by the Middle East conflict. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I'm at work and not in a position to convert that to seats but Labor would still win, ON would become a serious opposition possibly taking some ALP seats and the Liberals might get a seat somewhere.

#ResolvePM SA(state) "experimental AI poll" involving phone interview with AI voice ALP 31 L-NP 18 ON 28 GRN 10 others 11. Very different to other polls, see how that goes #saparli

This is genuinely horrific. Also, at this point, I'm convinced that no one in SA is vetting their candidates. It's actually insane the issues that are appearing that should come up in normal vetting procedures. #saparli #auspol

#AER flags cut in cost of electricity for households and businesses across the #NEM, as wholesale power prices get the benefit of more wind and big batteries.

If this actually happened, within a year we would have more One Nation splinter parties than there are Nepali communist parties

My 2PP estimate for this MRP 52.6 to ALP, ALP vs ON 51.8. Note there is a very long in-field period (13 Jan-3 March), includes a lot of Ley-era data.

😳 “the goal of having soldiers on the ground in Greenland—with as many different flags on their shoulders as possible—was that the Americans would be forced to carry out a major hostile action if Trump actually wanted to occupy Greenland militarily.”

In Denmark, support for the Social Democrats is highest among older voters, while parties such as the Green Left, Red-Green Alliance and Liberal Alliance are more supported by younger Danes Voters between 50-66 are the most likely to back right-wing populist parties yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

The first YouGov model of the 2026 Danish election shows a close race between the red and blue blocs, with the Social Democrats remaining as the largest party Red bloc: 85 seats (-2 from 2022) Blue bloc: 80 (+8) Neither: 10 (-6) yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

None of this is to say Israel can't be blamed for its *own* choices. Israel's responsible for its choices, and America's responsible for its choices. But the unshakable core of MAGA is to never accept responsibility. Someone else is always to blame. And Israel makes for a very convenient "someone".

The shift in tone we're seeing from Trump on Israel--criticizing it for how it's been conducting its own strikes to the detriment of Trump's economic interests--to me sounds like laying groundwork. Expect more, and more explicit, "stabbed-in-the-back" language if things worse for Trump domestically.

And I've been warning of this from the jump: the reason we saw GOP leaders from the first moments frame the Iran War as occurring at Israel's behest was so that they could use Israel as a scapegoat in case things went south. This was eminently predictable.

AER now explicitly validating what our @fssau.futuresmart.com.au work's been demonstrating for several years: more wind and more batteries are pushing wholesale prices down and opening the door to actual bill cuts, even with fossil‑fuel risks still in the system reneweconomy.com.au/the-rise-of-...

Many such cases of right-wingers failing at their goal of making the world worse in one specific way, due to their humiliating incompetence, leading to the world becoming worse in a way they hadn’t exactly planned for

People don't realise how ridiculous that sound when they tie themselves in knots trying to find ways to criticise the government whenever the government actually announces they will do the thing these people have been demanding they do.

This has the potential to be brilliant. But, we need to make sure theres a heap of 3 bedroom apartments included and of course anyone who uses the phrase “luxury apartment“ should be fired directly into the sun.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

this is probably just slapping a "golden dome" label onto the joint research/development/production/integration work in missile defense that's been going on for nearly 3 decades

#ResolvePM NSW (state) ALP 29 L-NP 25 ON 23 Grn 10 Ind 8 other 5 My very rough 2PP estimate 52.8 to ALP (-6.2). There looks to be a large effect of naming vs not naming ON compared to previous poll where ON were apparently not named (at least no breakout published) #nswpol
