I have been paying a lot of attention to local councils in New South Wales over the past year, with a particular focus on the more populous councils. As part of my analysis, I decided to draw a line under those councils with a population of over 100,000 people. When I prepared my guides for the 2016 and 2017 council elections, there were 23 councils meeting this criteria. But now there are 25, with Camden and Shoalhaven councils crossing the line since the last round of elections. |

A new sandpit for long side discussions, conspiracy theories, idees fixes and so on. To be clear, the sandpit is for regular commenters to pursue points that distract from regular discussion, including conspiracy-theoretic takes on the issues at hand. It’s not meant as a forum for visiting conspiracy theorists, or trolls posing as such. |

Portugal, a nation with a population of just over 10 million, like most countries in Europe, has suffered badly in the pandemic. One in ten of the population have been infected with the SARS-Cov-2 virus, and over 18,000 have died. That is 1,773 deaths per million people. In Australia, although we are in the middle of our third Covid-19 wave, we have only had one in 210 people infected by the virus and 1,389 killed by it; that is 54 deaths per million people1, far fewer per capita than Portugal. |
