Ben is joined by Kevin Bonham to talk about next weekend's elections for the Tasmanian Legislative Council.

Apologies for lower quality audio on Ben's part - but it should still be perfectly clear.

Ben is joined by William Bowe, the Poll Bludger, to discuss the results of the Eden-Monaro by-election.

Ben is joined by Glenn Kefford and Chris Salisbury from the University of Queensland to discuss the Queensland state by-elections and the City of Brisbane election, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these elections.

We recorded this episode remotely from each person's home so there is a few audio problems on one of the guests' tracks, but it shouldn't seriously affect the listening experience.

Ben is joined again by Alexis Pink from 4ZZZ to discuss elections for the councils surrounding the City of Brisbane: Gold Coast, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Logan and Sunshine Coast.

Ben is joined by Peter Brent and Stewart Jackson to discuss whether it's ever possible for a single-member voting system to be "fair" in the context of the final defeat of the South Australian fairness clause, and the relative value of survey, polling and raw voting data in assessing the results of an election.

I'm joined by William Bowe from Poll Bludger to run through all of the electoral redistributions which have been conducted while we've all been thinking about other things this year: specifically Western Australia, the ACT, the Northern Territory, Brisbane City Council and the likely change in federal seat numbers in 2020.
