Nine News has results of post-budget polling of three federal marginal seats, these being automated phone polls conducted by YouGov Galaxy.
• In the seat of Robertson on the central coast of New South Wales, the Liberals are credited with a 52-48 lead on two-party preferred, little changed from Lucy Wicks’ 1.1% winning margin in 2016. Primary votes are Liberal 44% (44.7% at the election), Labor 37% (38.4%), Greens 6% (8.4%) and One Nation 7%. Twenty-four per cent rated the budget would make them better off, 20% worse off and 48% no difference; 42% supported the government’s company tax cuts, and an equal share opposed the. The sample for the Robertson poll was 514.
• In the seat of Chisholm in Melbourne’s south-east, which was the one seat gained by the Coalition from Labor in 2016, the score is 50-50, compared with a 1.2% winning margin for Liberal member Julia Banks in 2016. The primary votes are Liberal 44% (45.3%), Labor 38% (35.9%), Greens 9% (12.3%) and One Nation 3%. Twenty-six per cent said the budget would make them better off, 23% worse off and 43% no difference; 32% supported, and 50% opposed, the company tax cuts. Sample: 539.
• In the Townsville-based seat of Herbert, which Cathy O’Toole gained Labor by a handful of votes in 2016, the Liberal National Party is credited with a 51-49 lead, from primary votes of Labor 34% (30.5%), LNP 38% (35.5%), One Nation 19% (13.5%) and Greens 3% (6.3%). Sample: 554.
I also offer the following by-election news. If you would like to leave a comment on the by-election that’s not going to get lost in the flow, I can recommend this thread. See also the links to detailed guides for all five seats featured on the sidebar.
• The West Australian reports Labor’s federal executive will today anoint the party’s candidate in Perth, which will almost certainly be its state secretary, Patrick Gorman. Prominent lawyer and former Cottesloe mayor John Hammond has also nominated, but it may be presumed that Gorman has the numbers. It was reported that an alternative scheme might involve Senator Louise Pratt contesting the seat, and her Senate vacancy going to Gorman. However, Latika Bourke of Fairfax reported yesterday that the plan had not found the favour of the Australian Manufacturing and Workers Union, the Left faction union that has long been Pratt’s power base.
• The Courier-Mail reports the Liberal National Party preselection in Longman is likely to be contested by Trevor Ruthenberg, who held the state seat of Kallangur from 2012 to 2015 and is now chief executive of the Mosaic Property Group’s philanthropic foundation, and Jason Snow, a disability support worker. One Nation has endorsed Caboolture small businessman Matthew Stephen, despite the controversy that attended his run for the state seat of Sandgate, in which it emerged he had repeatedly had his trades licence suspended, narrowly avoided bankruptcy, and was prone to politically incorrect utterances on social media.
• The Mercury reports that a Liberal internal poll gave the party a 53-47 lead on federal voting intention in Braddon. However, it was also noted that the poll had a small sample and, as Kevin Bonham observes, the result may have been contaminated by the Liberals’ easy victory at the March state election. (UPDATE: Kevin Bonham explains in comments that I don’t have the right end of the handle here. “The 53 for the Liberals in Braddon in their internal poll sample is the primary not the 2PP. Labor was on 20 and the Greens were on 15. Hence (and there are other reasons too) my rubbishing of it whenever I have been asked. And that was the seat sample from a state sample of 756, so probably only about 150 voters.”)
• The Australian today stirs the pot on the eligibility of Cowan MP Anne Aly, who has only been able to provide a letter from the Egyptian embassy acknowledging its receipt of her application to renounce her citizenship dated two months before the 2016 election (UPDATE: Aly has today produced a letter from the Egyptian embassy that would appear to put the matter to rest).

Amen is Greek for verily.
Tom.
“I think that Jehova would normally be classed as a sky god, as would his forerunners such as Atep etc – the Sun gods, which I believe is still part of the Yazidi religion.”
actually am not sure the sky god classification is normal at all – the jewish god is not imperial or conceived in terms of the pagan mega-deities that oppressed them in Babylon – there is a deep agnosticism in jewish belief – that god does not answer entreaties, that god is not rational or known or depicted in any natural or perceptual form – hence ‘sky god’ might be misnomer
it’s too late not to tell hawkins but such nuances of religious tradition would be beyond his determination to simplistically debunk

No problem with Hitchhiker’s quotes, I’m guilty as charged, the issue was her initial response.
Implying it was obvious she was making a joke, so what’s your problem.
No reference to Hichhiker’s, so someone not blessed with being acquainted with Adams’ work would be none the wiser and be thinking, what’s she going on about.
Andrew_Earlwood @ #647 Friday, May 11th, 2018 – 11:20 pm
Andrew
You cannot conduct a rational discussion and tun every minor point into a a cause celebre to attack me.
You are just ignorant and silly to suggest that Crean and Ferguson were not opposed to the ETS. They were from the Melbourne manufacturing unions and of bloody course they opposed the Carbon price because it was all about jobs (possibly for Ma’arn less noble issues too). You could hardly cause either plonkers and both were extremely powerful factional players. Even you should understand that in January 2009 the following represented the factional make up of the caucus.
Obviously the NSW right with the Sussex St mob (Bitar, Arbib) have great influence with probably Tony Burke being the key player from NSW. Closely aligned were the right in WA (Stephen Smith) and the AWU (Swan). In Victoria the key person was Conroy. Crean was a player too. Then there was the left which was pretty split but key power brokers were Feguson, Kim Carr, Gillard on one side and Tanner, Faulkner and Albo on the other.
Now in January 2010 when Rudd was being pressured for a DD what you can say is that he had most but not all of the left behind him solidly (ie not Ferguson and with Gillard a little wobbly).In terms of the obvious right eg Smith and Conroy and Burke, I have no clear idea about where they stood, but if you are even a little reasonable you will agree that while possibly not opposed to the ETS strongly they were also not enthusiastic supporters. Based on my knowledge of the trio I think they would have been more opposed that supporting. Like their mentor Keating they were not enthusiastic supporters of the Balmain basket weavers.
So the only RATIONAL difference between my position and yours is the view of Swan and the AWU faction.
You maintain that they were supportive of a DD in January and that Rudd ignored their advice. Perhaps you have better inside information than I do about the attitude of the AWU faction, but I think I am on solid ground is saying that while they may not have been actively opposed they were not 100% solid supporting either.
If they HAD been supportive of the ETS they would not have ditched it so quickly after Gillard came to power, (It as later resurrected of course but only because of the hung parliament)
Also I think you must be a little naive. Surely from December on (actually November) the number of people with cold feet was growing and this would certainly have included some influential people within the AWU faction.
My point stands
In a Cabinet of 20 Rudd had strong support from Tanner, Faulkner, Albo, Wong, Evans and Macklin although the last 3 while great are not really power brokers. He had opposition from two heavy weights – Crean and Ferguson and probably (I am not sure on these Conroy and Carr).
Now then we are left with just considering Gillard and Swan. Sure they were members of the inner four and powerful, but I do not feel that either was a strong supporter of the ETS. If Rudd had gone for a DD their support would have been a little lacklustre. Gillard was close to Ferguson and Swan increasingly under pressure from the AWU and the mining interests.
In any case Andrew your reaction was way over the top and offensive. Perhaps it was the ranting of a mad man eh what. We are arguing over the views in cabinet 8 years ago. My point is in any case simply that while Rudd may have been too cautious, the criticism is unduly harsh given the number and power of the doubters within Cabinet.
It’s highly likely that slavery had its origins in the development of agricultural economies. Slavery…the concept of personal property…rules of inheritance…patriarchy…
Tom,
Now all you have to do is explain what the freak “verily” means.
(Yes, yes. I know. I was joking, okay. I know the joke wasn’t very funny, but the basis was that you are explaining the meaning of one old archaic word that nobody uses anymore by eqating it to another archaic word that nobody uses anymore. Geddit? Please don’t subject me to a torrent of abuse for not being funny.)

the issue was not whether adams was read or sense of humour
it was passing comment that whatever point adams was making of it the idea of human ancestors living in trees is actually quite widespread as one evolutionary narrative and is most probably indeed definitely wrong. the rejoinder of what is a preferred evolutionary narrative remains wide open. normal discussion nothing about humour. some obnoxious soul seems to want to score points on anything above all, not discuss

Amun/Amen became the supreme god before the New Kindom of Egypt.
Potted version for Ante Meridian:
The so-called ‘exodus’ were the elite (Yahuds) who lived at Amarna and were left high and dry after Pharaoh Akhenaten died. They were rich and refused to give up their newfound wealth so two generals were sent by Ay (Adon-Ay, or, Divine Father Ay – was one of his titles) negotiate a bargain for their safe passage away from Egypt. The generals were Pa-Ra-Mesu (who later became Ramses I, and after the Babylonian interment known as Moses) and A-Hor-On (who later became Pharaoh Horemheb, and was later known as Aaron).
These two escorted the elite part way to the northern lands promised to them after a long drawn out bargaining period. Moses was called back when Tut-Ankh-Amun died (70 days up the mountain and returned with the tablets depicting the cartouche of the new Pharaoh, Ay).
Ay only lasted a couple of years and Horemheb and Moses had a struggle for power. Horemheb became Pharaoh an made laws (which later became known as 10 commandments – the cartouche and these laws became confused over generations of story-telling).
Ay was revered by the refugees and was worshipped as Adonai much later. As was Moses (Ramses I) as he was responsible for safe passage northward.
Good choice; how many videos did you go through to find a good one? (Speaking from experience e.g. Top of the Pops truncation.)
Amun predated the Jews and Greeks by 1000 years and lasted another 1000. He was the grand arbiter god (but was unseen or hidden).
The Jewish ‘tabernacle’ description is almost a perfect description of one of the Karnak temples.
And anyone who has seen the booty found in Tut’s tomb would have seen an ark like that described in the “ark of the Covenant”.
During the captivity of the refugees from Amarna in Babylon, they rewrote their histories to make Egypt the ‘bad guy’ to suit the political situation between Egypt and Babylon at the time. That period lasted a couple of generations so the stories became entrenched
Jäger,
I remembered it from my now distant youth and searched for it by name. It was always my favourite.
By the way, I hope the way I spell your name (with the umlaut) is acceptable. I just kind of assumed it’s German, but as we all know, we should never assume.
Amun… was the grand arbiter god (but was unseen or hidden).
He was “verily” embodied (even if hidden). Hence the Greek “Amen.”
Jen,
That all sounds plausible. It’s all so distant in time, those events could easily become distorted and given a mystic narrative.
I was hoping I could come up with something more insightful to say, but that’s about it really.
jen,
I may have mentioned it before but I went to Amarna when I was in Egypt.
Not much left but when you see the scale of the city it’s impressive to think what was established in such a short time.
The stories out of it are wonderful, leading to such names as Nefertiti, Tutankhamen and the beginning of the Ramses era.
I saw one book proposing that Moses was Akhenaten fleeing with his followers as the priests chased them down finally catching up with them at Mt Nebo and returning Akhenaten to Egypt.
Originally (“hunter”.)
I’m not that fussed; it’s a handle – but draw the line at “Jaggie-baby”, “Sweetie” etc.

Connected reporter says Trump enjoys almost nothing about his job — except the Diet Coke bell
According to well connected New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, the answer is, “No.”
In an interview with Slate, Haberman says that Trump mostly doesn’t like being president, although he does enjoy some of the perks that come along with it.
“I have never thought he is enjoying this job,” she said. “I think he enjoys the title Mr. President. I think he enjoys Air Force One, Marine One, the big car, having a lot of Secret Service, his Diet Coke bell, all of that stuff.”

Mueller now investigating millions of dollars worth of Russia-linked donations to Trump’s inaugural committee
Special counsel Robert Mueller is now probing millions of dollars donated to President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee — including many made by donors connected to Russia and Middle Eastern countries.
“According to a source who has sat with the Mueller team for interviews in recent weeks, the special counsel is examining donors who have either business or personal connections in Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar,” the report reads. “Several donors with those ties contributed large sums to the non-profit fundraising entity – gifts that topped out at $1 million dollars, according to public records.”

The ancient ram god was a depiction of of Amen/Amon/Amun from ancient Egypt, who finishes every Christian prayer. Predates the Jews and biblical stories.
Thank you, I did not know that. I have several photos of sculptures and paintings of Amon, and never connected it with christianity.
Apparently, there’s no actual evidence of a connection between Amun/Amen. Apparently it’s in the ‘they sound the same so they must be connected’ class of theories.
