The fake left Guardian is busy defending fake left media coverage. “Anyone who thinks this is about a 12-second clip on a Panorama more than a year ago that not a single viewer complained about is not reading the proper story,” said one. “What’s going on here is much

In January 2003, the day before the Canberra bushfires struck, I left Melbourne with my now-wife to commence working as a graduate economist at the Australian Treasury. I was inducted by then-Secretary Ken Henry and his deputies, who taught us about the Treasury’s long tradition of providing “frank and fearless” advice to the federal government

Today’s post is the latest chapter in my series analysing the history of previous parliamentary expansions at a federal level. In my last post, I analysed how the pendulum changed during the 1948 redistribution. For this post, I am going to look at how MPs responded to this new map, which seats were left without a sitting MP at the subsequent election, and how the swing varied depending on whether an MP ran for the seat.
