The witness before ICAC's City of Parramatta hearing just invented the term "reverse bullying" which seems to be when you say mean stuff about the person who is bullying you (the originally bullying being absolutely fine, of course)
Polls have now closed for the Nepean state by-election in Victoria, and for two Tasmanian upper house seats, and I'll be live-blogging the results tonight, here: #springst #politas
I name this peculiar type of contest in Nepean, where a party narrowly in front on 3CP wins easily on either 2CP because they are in the centre of two opposing rivals, "Three Stooges Syndrome", with apologies to the Simpsons.

Once again seems to me a major story in British politics is just the boring one that the right block is split two ways and the left block three ways, and we have an electoral system which makes that devastating for the left. I think this gets less attention than it ought cos it's "dog bites man".
