hos­ted a talk by Ant­ony Green Dodsworth trailer tonight.

He presen­ted a quick run through of the land­scape for this year’s fed­eral elec­tion, which surely will be called once APEC is out of the way. It was fairly straight­for­ward stuff — noth­ing that couldn’t have been gleaned from fol­low­ing The Poll Bludger

and Oz Polit­ics.

As always the talk was fol­lowed by a Q&A ses­sion. What got me annoyed was the stu­pid­ity of most of the ques­tion­ing. The packed audi­ence had Australia’s pre-eminent pseph­o­lo­gist at its dis­posal, and all people could ask were his opin­ions on the effect on polls of every single piece of polit­ical minu­tiae. Ant­ony Green is prob­ably used to that sort of light­weight repet­it­ive ques­tion­ing and dealt with everything pro­fes­sion­ally and efficiently.

While I pray that Howard will be voted out of office, a small part of me doesn’t, just to see the effect on those who have ves­ted so much energy into the cult of Kevin Rudd — over­flow­ing among tonight’s over­whelm­ingly left-leaning audience.
