		<title>The Victorian Senate Count &#8211; Why it&#8217;s premature to call the final spot for the DLP.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If the election night results for the Victorian senate are taken as indicative of the final outcome,  then the  DLP's John Madigan could win the final spot.  Antony Green's site has a breakdown of the current numbers, which shows a DLP win on the current numbers, with 2 ALP, 1 Green, 1 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Antony Green&#8217;s Senate Calculators online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Legendary ABC psephologist, Antony Green, now has senate calculators online for this year's election. Of course they can't model the preference flows of below the line votes, but given almost everyone votes above the line they could give a very strong indication of who will win senate seats at the end of the election night [...]]]></description>

		<title>Newspoll trends and Senate Group Voting tickets in an easy to read format.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is an excellent analysis of recent Newspolls at the Pollytics blog at Crikey. It's well worth a read. It seems we may actually have a federal election that's too close to call for a change (that hasn't happened since 1998, where the Howard government failed to win the TPP count, but won a majority [...]]]></description>

		<title>ACT Democrats senate preferences &#8211; Wrong and stupid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE 4 (02/08/2010 11.38AM) Darren Churchill has emailed me a correction/clarification to his original statement that the Greens broke a national deal in 2007. I have added his response as a comment to this post. I was only involved in national preference negotiations and state preference negotiations for Victoria for the Democrats in 2007, so [...]]]></description>

		<title>The rise of the Australian Greens vote in the Australian House of Representatives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a former member of the Australian Democrats, I have observed with interest the rise of the Australian Greens' vote since the late 1990s, when it was below 3%. The Tasmanian Greens polled 21% in the state election earlier this year, and are now in a Coalition government with the ALP.  The Greens have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jennie Rosenbaum at Summer in the City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, I went to see the Summer in the City Exhibition at:
Guilford Lane Gallery in Melbourne's CBD.
There were a lot of interesting works on display from many artists, but the main reason I attended was to see my friend Jennie Rosenbaum's beautiful art work:

I love Jennie's art, and am fortunate enough to own [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year&#8217;s Resolution II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm now in my mid-thirties, and I really need to seriously work on improving my strength and fitness. I know it's a cliche to make this a New Year's resolution - but what the hell, now is as good a time as any to start working on it.
I've decided to start working with free weights:

		<title>New Year&#8217;s resolution I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have made a New Year's resolution to blog more regularly, so I've decided to work with something more manageable and shift to wordpress. I'll probably distract myself for a while with tweaking themes before I post anything too serious.
