Summary: A brief (well, for us) fill-in episode while Jacob is away. THE FOCUS GROUP: The ACT election highlights some confusion amongst commentators and politicians about how a parliament works. And another Dave wonders how parties should deal with voters’ expectations in hung parliaments - should they tell them first who they’ll side with? http://davec.org/2012/10/multi-party-politics/ STOP THE PRESS: Tony Abbott continues his campaign for a permanent seat on the mocked-by-the-world’s-press-for-misogyny council. And why fact-check your “hey the poor are just too dumb to buy food on the pittance we give them” defence of a payment no-one could reasonably live on? Penbo tells the poor how to buy food cheaply - simply demand to get it for the prices Penbo quotes and supermarkets will hand it over! http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/poverty-is-only-a-part-of-the-school-lunch-problem/
