My supplemental #JSCEM submission went up today, including a 66-page table of pre-poll voting centre attendance data and a 4-page table (🖼) outlining the rates at which below-the-line Senate votes left their first marked column before marking every box (national rate 17.84%). But also: #auspol 1/🧵

#JeromeLaxale (current #JSCEM chair) invites #Dutton, #PruGoward, #NickMinchin to give evidence concerning use of #ExclusiveBrethren in campaigning.

Today in #JSCEM nonsense (the second deadline has passed and they're now sifting through the further submissions): Submission 308 claims that preferential voting is actually first-past-the-post, then complains that surplus votes or votes for losers are wasted. Incorrect on both counts. #auspol

throwing together a supplemental #JSCEM submission based on what i've seen so far, and realising that while on the face of it i don't oppose a proportional voting system in the lower house, generically, there may not be a SPECIFIC system that could actually satisfy me. standards too high. :( #auspol

The author's submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters' inquiry into the conduct of the 2025 [Australian] federal election and other matters, printed out and stuck in a display book

sometimes you have to print something out and stick it in a display book to make it feel real and important and something to be proud of #JSCEM

Oh hey, my #auspol #JSCEM submission [235] got approved in the same tranche as @kevinbonham.bsky.social [243] today! (With how late to it I know we both were (at least prior to the February extension) I wasn't expecting either to hit the web until after the new year.)

Completely missed that the #auspol #JSCEM reopened submissions and the new deadline is the end of February. So I guess that's not wrapping up anytime soon.

Another #auspol election, another #JSCEM submission from Mackerras [0141] railing hopelessly against the idea that, maybe, sometimes, lying to the public by instructing them to do more than strictly required on Senate ballots MIGHT actually be acting in their best interests.

I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing more I can put into this #auspol #JSCEM submission and have put it into their hands. Come back in Some Time™ when it goes public and I am allowed to show it off.

The #auspol #JSCEM have announced that submissions to the 2025 Federal Election inquiry will close on Friday, 14 November 2025, alongside an initial dump of 86 submissions. Tomorrow's hearing takes evidence from Global Shield, Prof Rubenstein and the EIAT.

A long day ahead for the #auspol #JSCEM tomorrow as they open their public hearings with the AEC, two think tanks, a former MP, and two academics.

#JSCEM federal election 2025 inquiry is now open for submissions with these terms of reference, however I cannot at this stage find the closing date.

today's #auspol #JSCEM submission preparation antics: i have created a chart that is actually 56 smaller charts split over eight pages. it's very pretty, but i'm not sure how useful it is, and i'm probably just going to stuff it in an appendix.

doing early prep on an #auspol #JSCEM submission for the inevitable federal election inquiry and i am already five tables deep on topics i want to cover. i have written no substantive prose. help.

Timely report on the need for revamped #Civics education in Australia. #JSCEM
