In income disparity.
You have students living in share house eeking out an existence on youth allowance eating 2 minute noodles and then very high income knowledge workers and professionals living next door.
That’s weird, most seats are either wealthy or poor, not having both extremes living side by side.
I still enjoy them nowadays
Oh for the days when the country was run from Victoria. After the aberration of a NSW PM when Menzies retired, it went back to Vic PM and Deputy PM for a while.
The Nats later became a rump in Victoria, HQ shifting to NSW, finally to Queensland when Truss became Nat leader.
It’s now odd that the only ALP seat loss in Victoria could go to the Nats, with the Libs delivering a Labor gain in the Melbourne electorate.
Which point is it that you’re referring to?
Please quote me so I know what you’re talking about
Yes I certainly knew what you meant and it is an apposite point. But I was attempting a joke as “seat” also refers to an anatomical part, and used a quote originally from Monty Python.
Ah, straight over my head 
Sorry I had you confused with others . I thought you’d said JP was not popular. I see you commented on the Voice. My bad mate
What’s the bet Dreyfus won’t stick around in parliament and he will be appointed to some ambassadorial role in Europe.
Cheers.
But as I said in my post, polling 8% is hardly proof that she is popular.
40%, 50% or more
That would be popular.
She ran second out of all pollies. That’s the facts. Resolve asked about all politicians
Harold Holt was Menzies’ heir apparent for many years and was a Victorian MHR. Don’t know where you got NSW from.
I’m not disputing that she came second.
I’m saying that a score of 8% hardly makes her popular.
You do realise that that means that 92% did not rate her highly.
It’s simple maths.
I’m not sure why you’re arguing with me about the facts as presented by you.
lawry should just say he wants her to run the party. and leave it at that, not try to make up some statistical significance
8% is like a margin of error
Territory Senators only have terms of up to three years ( contest every Fed election) as compared to six year set terms for State Senators.
Her popularity hasn’t really been tested. Her vote in the Senate would count for less than that of the crossbenchers.
Also she hasn’t really been tested as a Shadow Minister in an important portfolio.
If Price goes too feral and becomes a liability for the Libs , she might not be first on the ticket next time. With her defection, the Nats don’t have to worry about her.
Lambie has had scores on the board on popularity, standing as an Independent and getting re-elected.
Sorry, I forgot about the Holt death precipitating the Lib leadership crisis when MacMahon from NSW took over.
No, that is also incorrect. The succession was:
Menzies → Holt → Gorton → McMahon*
*The asterisk refers to the white anting that Fraser did to remove Gorton, then have the incompetent McMahon as a place holder until he could take over.
Fraser just had to then engineer the overthrow of another Lib leader (Sneddon) and the elected Whitlam government, He played the long game.
Until he lost his pants in Memphis.
But it was going to be MacMahon after Holt until Black Jack put the veto on Billy, setting off the crisis.
I was referring to what actually happened, not some hypotheticals,
MacMahon was the Deputy Lib leader to Holt.
