  I had not realised the subtleties of how preferences in senate votes work now. I vaguely remember reading about it when they brought it in but then promptly forgot . It’s so much less of a hassle now

  I have been voting for 30 years and consider myself very aware of the system but this taught me heaps. Thanks!

  Am seriously considering just deleting my news apps until it’s over. I am in a safe seat. I know how to get local info so I can decide who’s a climate/progressive independent and who’s a cooker. I don’t think I can handle hearing how more gas exploration and firing 40 thousand people is the way forward.

  Definitely noticed someyuwas up today. Not just here but lags across a few different websites - my speeds were fine so I wondered if it was a broader DNS or DDoS attacks

  I have heard a few direct quotes where he seems to conflate working from home with ‘not working’.

  Yeah there are a couple of metrics. The main two are the median salary of all adults which includes a lot of people not in the workforce (zero wage) and then the median salary for anyone “employed” (working any hours) which would be higher.

  Dunno what the latest number are but at a guess mid 50s looks like the total median and 80ish is the median of job holders

  (.median is used because mean is skewed by outliers like billionaires. Median means half of the people measured are below and half above)
