The latest fortnightly Essential Research survey includes the pollster’s monthly leadership ratings, which find Scott Morrison up three on approval to 66% and down two on approval to 25%, Anthony Albanese down four on approval to 40% and up four on disapproval to 39%, and Morrison holding a 53-24 lead as preferred prime minister, out from 50-25. There was also a six point increase in the government’s good rating on COVID-19 response to 67%, with the poor rating steady on 15%.
As it did a fortnight ago, the poll also asked about the mainland state premiers from the small sub-samples in the relevant states: Gladys Berejiklian was at 75% approval (up seven) and 17% disapproval (down four); Daniel Andrews at 65% approval (up four) and 28% disapproval (down five); Annastacia Palazczuk at 65% approval (steady) and 27% disapproval (up three); Mark McGowan at 87% (up nine) approval and 7% disapproval (down five); and Steven Marshall, who was not featured in last fortnight’s polling, at 60% approval and 21% disapproval. State government handling of COVID-19 was rated as good by 82% of respondents in Western Australia, 76% in South Australia, 75% in New South Wales, 71% in Queensland and 59% in Victoria.
Respondents were asked how much attention they had been paying to recent news stories, with 73% saying they had closely followed the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria, 68% the US presidential election, 36% the allegations of sexual misconduct raised by the ABC’s Four Corners, and 29% Joel Fitzgibbon’s resignation from the shadow cabinet. It also finds an easing in concern over COVID-19, with 27% rating themselves very concerned (down three), 44% quite concerned (down two), 23% not that concerned (up three) and 6% not at all concerned (up two). The peak of concern was in early August, when 50% were very concerned, 40% quite concerned, 7% not that concerned and 3% not at all concerned.
The poll was conducted Wednesday to Monday from a sample of 1010.

Keating for PM! 🙂
As an aside. I’ve dealt with Keating’s PA. She’s an arrogant turd.
Now, Obama *is* a hunk…
Cud Chewer
Are you sure that is wise ? 😉

CC,
And, She speaks so highly of you.
In the past week, South Australia has tested just under 5 percent of its population.

You have a propensity to name drop. One wonders what she thought of
you(?).
Cud Chewer for PM!!! 🙂
WB,
I’ve suddenly lost the option to go back to earlier pages.
Must we all be focussed on the future now?
poroti @ #2152 Monday, November 23rd, 2020 – 8:37 pm
This is news? 😀
Is anyone else experiencing GG’s problem?
There is apparently a page 44 but I can’t get to it.
The number flashes up when I refresh but vanishes before I can click on it.
Same. Live only in the present, no going back.

Does engineering education breed terrorists?
Dan Berrett, The Chronicle of Higher Education 01 April 2016
…………….The relationship extended beyond Islamist movements to other extremist groups. Violent neo-Nazis and neo-Stalinists in Russia and neo-Nazi and white-supremacist groups in the United States also showed disproportionate numbers of engineers.

If you look at this blog there are a few engineers. I wouldn’t place any of them on the right.
What makes engineers so confident? That is easy, it takes a special sort of arrogance to sign off a bridge, a dam or a 80 floor sky scraper. You have to believe in science and a belief you can apply it.
The arrogance is likely to extend to areas where they lack the training, sad but true. There are a lot of engineers in climate denial, but that is easy to understand. All those historic records used to set 100 year floods, wind loads, and temperature. If you believe you accept they are useless.
But why the interest in politics?
This is page 44.
…oh, there we go.
All I have to do to move to the new page is make a post.
GG, maybe if you delete posts you could move backwards….
Are those of you experiencing pagination problems using C+?
William
I was on page 43, when I refreshed numbers up to 44 appeared vanishingly briefly at the bottom on the page. Posting moved me on to p. 44.
z,
I could try and delete CC’s posts. But, I’m not sure he would be happy about that.
I suspect problems such as Zoomster’s will resolve themselves in time, or if you do a hard refresh.
It works nicely on firefox without c+
WB,
Not on this device.
edge without C+ works
No going back. No page numbers. If there are post numbers, I’ve never been able to see them. I never use add-ins or additional code.
Cud Chewer @ #2146 Monday, November 23rd, 2020 – 8:16 pm
To my eyes it looks like the the first trial with a half dose first allowed the body to begin building a titre (the concentration of an antibody, as determined by finding the highest dilution at which it is still able to cause agglutination of the antigen), which then produces a more effective response on the second dose as the body has begun the process of developing antibodies already.
I think.
However, two full doses a month apart doesn’t seem to produce the same effect.
Internet explorer without C+ works; back to firefox.
I’ve restored the older comments/newer comments buttons, for the time being at least.
1. Still no Edit function.
2. The only way I can access the Dashboard, is not via clicking on ‘Dashboard’ on the right but by clicking on ‘Logged in as C@tmomma’.
I have Page 1 -22.

World Odometers is a day (sometimes two) ahead of Johns Hopkins (which does some checking, hence a delay). So the “current” number from World Odometers is more recent than the “current” Johns Hopkins number (which is most widely used). As far as I can see World Odometers is not systematically larger than Johns Hopkins – I think it’s just that US numbers have been rising so much recently that it gives that impression.
First post Page 22, is Wednesday, November 18th, 7:21am
Editing (with ten minutes) and “older comments” / “newer comments” inks now work, which wasn’t the case a few minutes ago
Still no Edit function here. I’m using Chrome with C+, as I always have.
Greensborough Growler @ #2124 Monday, November 23rd, 2020 – 7:31 pm
My mental health is fine, thanks.
Yours … not so much 🙁
All good here.
Chrome with C+, page and comment numbers with block function working.
Content needs work though. lol
older and newer but no page numbers on a samsung phone.

God, let’s hope not.

2020 ALP platform consultation draft is out. Has no resemblance to the nonsense the Greens post; but there you are.

Time for the Greens to create stunts to undermine Labors position.

Keating would get crushed at an election these days. Being a useful idiot for the CCP is not an election winner in Australia. I do thing this bit of Keating`s interview at the ALP campaign launch in 2019 contributed to the ALP`s loss: https://youtu.be/ZA24-s2ysYo?t=969

Nothing new. Remember how absolutely feral Howie and the Coalition went when Hawke/Keating said Australia was “an Asian nation” that we were part of Asia .?
On the right track:
Cud Chewer @ #2147 Monday, November 23rd, 2020 – 8:16 pm
Dunno. This is PR speak for finance, not integrated reporting for clinical use. I suspect that the predefined primary & secondary endpoint measurements for “efficacy” differed in different study populations. Apples & Oranges. In immunology, less is often more – most complex biological systems have sigmoid responses. Bottom line – the old protein tech works too, but mRNA is newer, faster and less well defined. It is also a lot more fragile – mRNA degrades easily and is a bugger to stabilise. Hence the -80 C supply chain problems. The major problem with all the COVID vaccines is not efficacy, it is distribution & equity.
(Sorry for delay in response – tried to post this some time back, but things went wonky with my connection & C+.)
Just wondering how you go about bringing back Australia Made?

That was before I remember.
It is also completely different. Asia is the continent closest to our own. The PRC is a dictatorship whose unelected and tyrannical rulers` interests Keating was playing into on the issue of the staffing of our national security agencies.
Quiet tonight

Its like everyone else.. there are good engineers.. and then there are bad engineers 🙂
