Is parliamentary behaviour becoming more personalised? YES & NO. 40+ years of Question Time in Aus - who asks opp Qs & whom those Qs target. PMs now face double the opp Qs of 40yrs ago. V different pattern for Opp Leaders. Now in Party Politics doi.org/10.1177/1354...

New research shows Question Time has increasingly focused on the prime minister, raising questions about the ‘presidentialisation’ of Australian politics.

Question Time has been televised for 35 years. We tracked how it has changed, and what it means for Australian democracy

Hey UK followers - I'm looking for an R package or github repository to help me download/analyse UK Hansard? @psa-parliaments.bsky.social @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social @psaecn.bsky.social @psaepop.bsky.social

Free David McBride!* (*With every faux-progressive media subscription) The man tried to stop war crimes investigations. He's not a whistleblower, he's a grifter, and if you fell for the cheap politics of it, you were the mark.

Australia has more polls than ever. Research shows poll-focused media coverage increases public cynicism and damages political debate.

Are there too many political polls? We are in glut – and it may be about to get worse

New paper: Does Gamson’s Law hold in opposition? I test whether shadow ministries & Question Time follow Gamsonian distribution. They do, even though the Libs are a “dictator” under Gamson’s rule. In ParlAffairs @hansardsociety.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/pa/g... w/ thanks @thiagonsilva.bsky.social

An expansion to Gamson? ‘dictators’, oppositions, and the distribution of political resources: lessons from Australia

Abstract. This article extends the proportionality regularity identified in Gamson’s Law to examine how political resources are allocated within an opposit

Whoot! Acceptance day! My paper on coalition politics & how Gamson does/don't work in opposition. Forthcoming in Parliamentary Affairs. R2 compared my work to "a wild kangaroo".... I'll be adding that reference to the paper... Thanks @thiagonsilva.bsky.social for support & advice.

OMG trying Claude for the first time (just the free tier)..... SO much better than some other LLMs out there. Thanks to Alessandro Spina at UTS for introducing me to it.

The more I think about this, the more annoyed I am. It isn’t the peer reviewer’s job to check references. The journal / publisher should be doing this. It isn’t hard, and the failure to check really reflects poorly on the journal as much as the author.

Quickest peer review ever. Done in 15 min. Found a fake reference. Went hunting, found one more. Straight reject. Advised the editor they should write to the author's head of school.

How are MPs selling/defending/attacking the budget? In #canberrainbox we see the word "promises" has become quite partisan.... Number of e-newsletters that mention the word "promises" by party over the last few weeks. #auspol canberrainbox.com.au

Every time I listen to Rabbi Jonathan Sacks (ז״ל) I am blown away by his scholarship, his wisdom, his depth, and his ability to connect to today. I walk away enlivened and proud. Today I was listening to this lectures, as I prepare my cheder class for next weekend. rabbisacks.org/covenant-con...

A young Jewish woman was pressured by her CEO to accept being assigned a non-Jewish name at work, in the directory, email & office interactions to avoid offending clients. x.com/FAAntisemiti...

Pride march in Brussels will only let Jewish people take part once they don't identify as Jewish. This is the reality in Europe in 2026.

Really tough evidence this morning. A gay catholic man who converted to Judaism talking about the high levels of support he got coming out as gay, then the hatred he got from the same group when he converted to Judaism.

Another important day of evidence at the Royal Commission on Antisemitism #auspol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Jewish children tell Royal Commission of antisemitism in schools - ABC listen

The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion has today heard from students about antisemitism in schools.

Listening to first hand accounts of antisemitism at the Royal Commission. Really difficult. Really important.

Some of my US political scientist colleagues have previously posted the astronaut meme ("always has been") in reference to institutions not being self-reenforcing. What article/book were you guys referring to there?

Nothing to see here. "A collaborative Jewish-Greek choral concert to raise money for Bondi Beach massacre victims’ families has been cancelled due to vehement political opposition by some choir members to Jewish participation in the event."

Ou paper is now the 3rd most read in @jeppjournal.bsky.social! How do leaders talk about a crisis 'over there'? Was it relevant to them? Or could it be ignored? Important lessons when thinking about cultural lessons. (Also great to see an Aus paper doing well in European journals) lnkd.in/gZxn95HE
