@Nether Portal There’s at least 2 prepoll booths per electorate, but they’re in weird places and the ECQ has drastically reduced joint booths, so there’s going to be a stack of absentee votes.
Looking at Whitsunday, where the EVCs are Proserpine and Cannonvale. The other half of the electorate is northern Mackay, which has none. But slightly more than half of the population of the Whitsunday electorate are closer to the Mackay EVCs than Proserpine.

There’s a slight error in your crime statistics. You’ve used the Crime Rates data to compare 2023 and 2024. The problem is that you’re comparing apples and oranges – the figures for 2023 are from January to December; the figures for 2024 are from January to September. You’re comparing 12 months against 9 months because they’re calendar years.
If you look at the Advanced tab to get monthly plot points, you’ll note that offences are cyclical, peaking around Christmas. So we haven’t got the results for the highest crime quartile yet.
@Caleb As I’ve noted before, switching between OPV and CPV was mostly a Labor thing. 🙂
I’m agnostic on it, because the vote transfer from the minor parties on the right and the minor parties on the left are roughly the same.
The problem however is that we have different, and confusing, differences between State and Local Government voting, and differences from council to council. There are four different ways of voting in Local Government elections, depending on where you live. Ipswich has it’s own special way of voting which is literally the only way that would produce the result it has.
When you have State elections and Council elections on the same day with two different sets of rules it does not lead to a fairer electoral system. The State election on the October 26th also has two Council elections tacked on.
For consistencies sake, let’s settle on OPV or CPV for all of Queensland, divided or undivided Councils, abolish the crooked system in Ipswich entirely and make it easier for people to vote without increasing the risk of accidental error.
@SCart Banning property developers but allowing lawyers and lobbyists to donate is perverse. The night before Yvette D’Ath introduced legislation that directly affected the No Win, No Fee brigade the same people held a fundraiser for her in Parliament House.
My suggested solution is 1) there are limits on how much you can donate; 2) you have to be on the electoral roll to donate; 3) the ECQ (or AEC) provides a minimum amount of expenditure per candidate to encourage participation for signage, HTVs, and a limited communication expenditure which is expensed through the ECQ or AEC.
So no companies, no organisations, no businesses, no overseas money, no superannuation funds, no unions. If you want to donate money you can reach into your own pocket instead of someone else’s. And set up a public contact register so that individuals that have direct dealings with politicians in a non-constituency role can’t donate during that term of government.
I made a slightly longer submission to the Joint Standing Committtes into the past two elections.
