Scott Hamilton<p>In Werribee, Labor leads the Liberals by 50.6–49.4, a 10.4% swing to the Liberals since 2022. Liberals (up 3.7%), Labor (down 16.7%), independent Paul Hopper (up 8.8%) Greens (up 0.7%) Victorian Socialists (up 3.7%) <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23springst" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#springst</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23VicVotes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VicVotes</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23auspol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://theconversation.com/victorian-byelections-liberals-gain-prahran-from-greens-and-labor-ahead-in-werribee-249446" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">theconversation.com/victorian-by...</a><br><br><a href="https://theconversation.com/victorian-byelections-liberals-gain-prahran-from-greens-and-labor-ahead-in-werribee-249446" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Victorian byelections: Liberal...</a></p>

sortius<p>Want to know how conservative NSW is?

Daniel Bowen<p>Normally the fare rise for 1st January would have been announced by now.<br>Fair enough the decision may have been delayed by the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicVotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicVotes</span></a> state election, but given it's usually based on CPI (and inflation has been high this year) I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to bury the announcement during the Christmas period.<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Melbourne</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Victoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Victoria</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpringSt</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransport</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TakingOutTheTrash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TakingOutTheTrash</span></a></p>

Ben Raue<p>Today's blog post is about the Victorian Legislative Council, and how different electoral systems would have produced different seat results. It's a follow-up to a number of posts I did before the election based on 2018 data.</p><p><a href="https://www.tallyroom.com.au/50522" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">tallyroom.com.au/50522</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicVotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicVotes</span></a></p>

Tim Richards<p>So in Victoria’s upper house, the result for parties on the left is:</p><p>Labor 15<br>Greens 4<br>Legalise Cannabis 2<br>Animal Welfare 1</p><p>That’s a majority, with one to spare. The Liberal/National coalition won 14 seats, and there were 4 other seats each going to a different right-wing party (One Nation, DLP, LDP, Shooters Fishers &amp; Farmers).</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpringSt</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicVotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicVotes</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicPol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Victoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Victoria</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a></p>
Tim Richards<p>Very pleased with this, as Victoria's rotten group voting system in the upper house has disadvantaged the Greens in the past. 4 seats won out of 40 is fair, given the party's roughly 10% first preference vote.<br>---<br>Greens claim four upper house seats: Electoral commission confirms results <a href="https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/renee-heath-wins-seat-electoral-commission-confirms-upper-house-mps-20221212-p5c5ld.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theage.com.au/politics/victori</span><span class="invisible">a/renee-heath-wins-seat-electoral-commission-confirms-upper-house-mps-20221212-p5c5ld.html</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicVotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicVotes</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpringSt</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Victoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Victoria</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicPol</span></a></p>
