Tasmanian Greens had "Go, Go, Go Green Government" as a slogan for the 1992 state election.

Meeting of the Liberal Party federal executive underway where it will be determined whether Mark Speakman’s bid to change the take-over committee make-up will be adopted. Am told Peter Dutton in attendance. Source has described atmosphere in the room as “cold” #nswpol #auspol

Tasmanian JSCEM submissions are up (haven't had time to read them yet). #politas

YouGov federal poll reported in field including normal voting intention Qs, Qs about severe mental illness, threatened species, social media restrictions etc.

Also saying the Australian Electoral Commission declared votes informal (I don't believe it was even involved). Really electoral commissions should just not be temporarily calling BTLs informal. Find a much better solution.

At the 2021 local government elections in Blacktown, the rate of informal voting was 25% on election night but the final figure was around 6%. It's the same this year. Anyone implying something from double digit rates last night is misunderstanding the count.

Note to media: no in person interviews next 10 days, phone interviews may be possible but will generally require notice to organise suitable time. No interviews tomorrow. #politas
