James Massola of the Age/Herald reports that “expectations (are) growing that former Prime Minister Scott Morrison will quit politics”, probably between the May budget and the end of the year, entailing a by-election for his seat of Cook. Please let it be so, because a valley of death stretches before those of us in the election industry out to the second half of next year, to be followed by a flood encompassing the Northern Territory on August 24, the Australian Capital Territory on October 19, Queensland on October 26 and Western Australia on March 8 the following year (UPDATE: It’s noted that the Queensland local government elections next March, inclusive as they are of the unusually significant Brisbane City Council and lord mayoralty, should rate a mention). A normal federal election for the House of Representatives and half the Senate could happen in the second half of 2024 or the first of 2025, the alternative of a double dissolution being presumably unlikely.
Redistributions will offer some diversion in the interim, particularly after the Electoral Commissioner calculates how many House of Representatives seats each state is entitled to in the next parliament on June 27. This is likely to result in Western Australia gaining a seat and New South Wales and Victoria each losing one (respectively putting them at 16, 46 and 38), initiating redistribution processes that are likely to take around a year. There is also an outside chance that Queensland will gain a thirty-first seat. The Northern Territory will also have a redistribution on grounds of it having been seven years since one was last conducted, although this will involve either a minimal tweak to the boundary between Solomon and Lingiari or no change at all. At state level, a redistribution process was recently initiated in Western Australia and should conclude near the end of the year. The other state that conducts a redistribution every term, South Australia, gives its boundaries commission wide latitude on when it gets the ball rolling, but past experience suggests it’s likely to be near the end of the year.
However, the main electoral event of the foreseeable future is undoubtedly the Indigenous Voice referendum, which is likely to be held between October and December. Kevin Bonham has a post on polling for referendum in which he standardises the various results, which differ markedly in terms of their questions and response structures, and divines a fall in support from around 65% in the middle of last year to around 58% at present. For those of you with access to academic journals, there is also a paper by Murray Goot of Macquarie University in the Journal of Australian Studies entitled “Support in the Polls for an Indigenous Constitutional Voice: How Broad, How Strong, How Vulnerable?” In narrowing it down to credible polls with non-binary response options (i.e. those allowing for uncommitted responses of some kind, as distinct from forced response polls), Goot finds support has fallen from around 58% to 51% from the period of May to September to the period of October to January, while opposition had risen from 18% to 27%. The change was concentrated among Coalition supporters: whereas Labor and especially Greens supporters were consistently and strongly in favour, support among Coalition fell from around 45% to 36%.
Forced response questions consistently found between 60% and 65% in favour regardless of question wording, while non-binary polls (i.e. allowing for various kind of uncommitted response) have almost invariably had at over 50%. Goot notes that forced response polls have found respondents breaking between for and against in similar proportion to the rest, which “confounds the idea that, when push comes to shove, ‘undecided’ voters will necessarily vote no”. However, he also notes that questions in non-binary polls that have produced active majorities in favour have either mentioned an Indigenous Voice or the Uluru Statement from the Heart, or “rehearsed the Prime Minister’s proposal to amend the Constitution”. One that conspicuously did not do any of these things was a Dynata poll for the Institute of Public Affairs, which got a positive result of just 28% by priming respondents with a leading question and then emphasised that the proposal would involve “laws for every Australian”. JWS Research got only 43% in favour and 23% against, but its response structure was faulted by Goot for including a “need more information” option, which ruled the 20% who chose it out of contention one way or the other.

Not sure how seriously
It’s easy to sneer at Dutton’s comments about the impact of Aboriginal crime on tourism but sadly there is some truth to it.
I was in the Kimberley last August and the caravan park at Derby was barely one third full when normally it’s closer to capacity.
The park manager told my companion that the travellers’ forums are full of conversations about places it’s regarded as unsafe to stay.
He said many caravans these days have toilets and showers so stopping in a caravan park is less necessary.
Travellers fuel up, shop and then move on to camp in one of the many roadside rest areas or free camps around.
I slept through it but the night I was there the police were called to deal with some young people checking out cars and caravans.
Broome’s reputation for up market tourism seems to mask trouble there, though it does happen.
Kununurra also was quieter and there has been publicity over the summer of issues in Carnarvon which have led to liquor restrictions.
It’s a sad sad situation and people way smarter than me have been wrestling with the issue since whenever.
But I’m sure FIFO politicians getting their face on TV with the local baker isn’t going to help much.
The former. The size of the House can vary slightly because each state’s seat entitlement quotas are rounded to the nearest whole number. Sometimes more than three states get rounded up, sometimes more get rounded down.

Details about the person who leaked sensitive U.S. intelligence documents have emerged in new reporting from The Washington Post. The leaker is described as a gun enthusiast who worked on a military base and joined a private group on a social media platform popular with gamers who sought companionship amid the isolation of the pandemic, the report said.
It was on Discord where, according to The Post, “United by their mutual love of guns, military gear and God, the group of roughly two dozen — mostly men and boys — formed an invitation-only clubhouse in 2020.” The leaker, who went by the handle “OG,” posted the documents on Discord in a “message laden with strange acronyms and jargon,” the report said.
A member of the group told The Post that OG claimed he got the documents from a military base that the member declined to identify. “He’s a smart person. He knew what he was doing when he posted these documents, of course. These weren’t accidental leaks of any kind,” the member said. Both members claim to know OG’s real name and the state where he lives and works but have declined to share that information with authorities. The members appear in a video on The Post’s website with their faces and voices obscured.
“I want to keep OG’s identity secret because I still care for him like he’s a family member. He is another Russian operative. He’s not a Ukrainian operative. I’ll go as far as to say he’s not even on the east side of the world,” one member said. “Any claims that he is a Russian operative or pro-Russian is categorically false. He is not interested in helping any foreign agencies attack the US or the countries. He was a young charismatic man who loved nature and God, who loved shooting guns and racing cars.”

It certainly looks like it’s playing into Kos Samaras criticism of the coalition.
“Kos Samaras, director at the non-partisan RedBridge Group and former assistant secretary of the Victorian Labor Party, said the Liberal Party was struggling with the increasing number of voters from culturally diverse communities, voters under the age of 40, and those with tertiary qualifications.
He said the Liberal Party had been unable to match the effectiveness of Labor’s campaign machine.
“If you come up in the ranks of Labor, which is a vicious bear pit at the best of times, you still have to perform. Nepotism isn’t as rife as it is in the Liberal Party,” Samaras said. “A lot of the operatives always presume they’re going to lose, so their political survival skills are more finely tuned.”

___________________________________________________________
As a 68-year-old BB, I concur with you Macca. I remember when Menzies was PM; it seemed as if he had been so forever.
Maybe it’s because I grew up in a staunch Labor family whose parents thought Menzies was an opportunistic scare-monger, who used the Petrov spy controversy in 1954 for blatant political purposes during an election campaign, and who had tried to ram through authoritarian legislation banning the communist party, that I don’t think much of the Liberal Party founder.
But what did he accomplish apart from keeping Labor out of office for two decades and getting Australia mired in the Vietnam War? When he retired (“at last” I remember my mother saying) in 1966, he was asked at his final press conference what his greatest achievement was.
The old man replied that he supposed expansion of Australia’s universities might be it, but he added that it wasn’t really the job of governments to worry about their legacy, but really to just keep things rolling along.
Wasn’t it marvelous that Australia had such a visionary as its prime minister for such a long time?

Cognitive Dissonance 1:
“He was a young charismatic man who loved nature … and racing cars.”
What sort of racing cars use non-fossil fuels? How much did he really ‘love’ nature (as opposed to merely ‘admiring’ nature)?
Cognitive Dissonance 2:
“Any claims that he is a Russian operative or pro-Russian is categorically false.” …
“He knew what he was doing when he posted these documents, of course. These weren’t accidental leaks of any kind”
So … he leaks documents he knew full well would disrupt both Ukraine’s preparation for their counteroffensive and Ukraine’s Western allies’ support for that counteroffensive. He also knew full well his leaks would sow discord (pun not intended) among Ukraine’s Western allies.
But .. he is in no way acting as a Russian partisan. Right…
Menzies left office over 57 years ago. His post-war prime-ministership was contemporaneous with such figures as Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, UK PMs Attlee and Churchill, Soviet Premier Kruschev and the last few years of Stalin, plus lots of less famous leaders. He left office nearly 20 years before most Australians were born (median age ~ 38).
While he’s the patron saint of the Liberal party, I can’t see that he is terribly relevant today. Even the Liberals have abandoned most of his policies and positions, especially Keynesian economics.

From the Guardian, more details on the Pentagon leaker:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/13/pentagon-leaks-og-source-military-base-discord-report
Cognitive Dissonance 2(b):
“OG [the leaker] is reported to have posted the documents on a channel on the server he named “Bear vs Pig”, a reference to the Ukraine war but also a viral video showing pigs fighting off a black bear.”
I take it he likens Russia to the bear, and Ukraine and its Western allies to the pigs. Yet, he is not, I repeat not, pro-Russian…
Cognitive Dissonance 3:
“[The leaker] worked on a military base, … where his job involved viewing large amounts of classified information.” Yet:
“[The leaker] “had a dark view of the government”, portraying the government, and particularly law enforcement and the intelligence agencies, as a repressive force. He ranted about “government overreach”.”
Whom did he work for and what was his day job, again?
Cognitive Dissonance 4:
“For sure, people are not happy,” one [Ukrainian] official admitted on Wednesday. “Ukraine was criticised last year for not being a trustworthy partner. At the beginning of the invasion, we weren’t provided with weapons because of this lack of trust. We lost a lot of territory and people as a result. This perception was wrong. And now this leakage happens from the US side.”
Ironic. The Ukro-sceptic gatekeepers in the US ended up being the ones who put 1.25 million potential foxes in charge of their state secrets henhouse. 😡

Yep, even I have to check the spelling of his name cos it’s really just a name to me. “I did but see her passing by … blah, blah, blah”, cringeworthy to those of us under 70 I suspect.
Be on the lookout this weekend for an article by Professor Hugh White in The Saturday Paper.
Prof. White discusses the dangerous path that both the United States and China are treading with regards to Taiwan. He describes how both countries are relying on and building up their deterrence capabilities, but warns that if both sides believe they can deter the other, it may make the path to war easier.
The article also describes a scenario where China implements a hard blockade on Taiwan, which is seen as a more credible military option than a full-scale invasion. However, such a blockade would force the US to make difficult decisions about escalation, and raises questions about whether China’s approach could lead to inevitable war, depending on America’s resolve.
In addition, Prof. White emphasizes that Australia will be forced to choose between trade and alliance, with no middle ground. He speculates that the chances of nuclear war are high and warns that the very thing they go to war over may be destroyed.
Enough Already

The Liberals problems with the under 50s isn’t because the under 50s are different but because the Liberals have made no effort to connect with their heartland and have taken the reactionary position to everything even issues that a generation ago were the right’s bread and butter like gender which could be looked at as economic and law & order issues.
Menzies is relevant because he was a successful politician and some of his policies are outdated but because he was too the left of today’s Liberals he is closer to where the Liberals need to be and Menzies used to fill the Camberwell townhall and Ryan filled the Hawthorn townhall but the Liberals never tried so why would the under 50s vote for them.

I suspect this would result in the formal prevention of Freedom of Navigation (FON). Albeit that the US has not ratified Article 87(1)a of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, they enforce its practice. It strikes me then that the initial act of aggression in terms of International Law would be the nation actively preventing FON.
It’s hard to imagine that having constantly and publicly exercised FON in the South China Sea and environs, that the US wouldn’t actively challenge such an act if all other alternatives were exhausted. On the other hand, use of that sea route doesn’t appear strictly necessary as other alternatives appear viable (to the inexpert like myself).

In 1963 the process of converting to decimal currency was underway, including the name of the new unit of currency. Menzies announced it was to be called the “Royal” but that was overwhelmingly unpopular and so it became the dollar.

Japan’s population shrank by 556,000 in 2022 from a year earlier to 124.9 million for the 12th straight year of decrease, as the number of Japanese nationals saw its largest drop on record, government data showed Wednesday.
As of Oct. 1, the population, including foreign residents, stood at 124,947,000, with the number of Japanese nationals down 750,000 to 122,031,000, the largest margin of decline since comparable data were made available in 1950, the data said.
The trend indicates an urgent need for Japan to establish a social system to cope with the dual challenge of a declining birthrate and a graying population.

McCarthy responds:
The first thing I would say to opposition leader Peter Dutton is this: it is a very serious allegation to raise the abuse of a child and a serious allegation to make that a child is being returned to an abuser.
Peter Dutton, if you are aware of this, then you need to mandatory report it to police so that there can be an investigation immediately, and if you have not done that I would urge you to do so as soon as possible.
In terms of statistics around Alice Springs, we know that the statistics around DV, attendance at the hospital, assaults, have dropped dramatically.
So I would urge the opposition leader to not use Alice Springs as a political football with irresponsible accusations if they cannot be followed up.
Can I also add that what Peter Dutton is doing is straight out of fellow Queenslander, Mal Brough’s, intervention playbook. Iirc, Mal Brough made similar allegations to justify Howard’s NT military intervention. It wouldn’t surprise me if the two men had strategised.
