Jane Doe 🐸✊🏽❤️Teals + David Pocock = racism. We know this, because all of climate 200's candidates who are able to vote for compulsory income management have done so.
Given she's receiving backing from the Murdoch family, she'll well primed to be racist too.

Electric Trike#Pocock says government ‘ignoring the needs’ of #vulnerable #Australians as independent report calls for #jobseeker to be lifted.
The Australian government’s independent economic inclusion advisory committee has released its annual report before the budget, calling for an #increase to jobseeker to 90% of the #agedpension over four years, and an increase to commonwealth #rentassistance.
The committee, which was established by Labor in 2022 as part of a deal with independent senator #DavidPocock, made the same recommendation to increase jobseeker and other income supports in 2025, 2024 and 2023. The government is unlikely to increase jobseeker in the coming budget.
Its fourth report states there are now 3.6 million Australians, including 1 million children and young people, who are now living in #poverty.
It recommends actions to decrease the number of children living in poverty through #familypayments and #childsupport systems and calls for an immediately end to all #Centrelink payment penalties, including suspensions and cancellations related to compulsory activities.
Pocock says that months into the crisis in the #MiddleEast, the government still hasn’t taken any “meaningful action” to support the most vulnerable Australians.
“We’ve seen the #primeminister jump to the defence of #multinational #gascompanies while ignoring the needs of the most vulnerable Australians … Australia should be proud of the safety net we provide to those who have fallen on hard times and help them to build a better life rather than condemning them to economic and social exclusion.” #auspol #AlbaneseIsUseless
HabrAB-тесты и подглядывание: введение в последовательное тестирование
В AB-тестах нередко возникает желание смотреть на результат по ходу эксперимента: метрики обновляются, решения ждать долго, а если эффект уже очевиден, то зачем тянуть до конца. Но в этом месте легко допустить серьезную ошибку: регулярно пересчитывать обычное p-значение и завершать тест при первом p < 0.05. Такой подход повышает долю ложных срабатываний: иногда статистическая значимость появляется просто из-за случайных колебаний данных, даже когда реального эффекта нет. В этой статье разбираем, почему так происходит, и что с этим делают в прикладной аналитике. Покажу, как устроено групповое последовательное тестирование (group sequential): вы заранее задаете несколько контрольных точек для подглядывания, а пороги принятия решения подбираются так, чтобы общий уровень ошибки первого рода по всему процессу оставался на заданном уровне alpha. На простых формулах и наглядных графиках из симуляций сравним наивное подглядывание с корректной процедурой. А затем разберем два самых популярных набора порогов - Pocock и OBrien-Fleming: чем они отличаются, почему один вариант чаще завершает эксперимент раньше, а другой почти не дает принимать решения в начале, и как выбрать подходящий вариант под продуктовый процесс.

The Australian Parliament is awash with funds from the Gambling lobby. #Labor won’t dare touch the golden goose. But they are a bunch of career politicians, with very little apparent awareness of the damage done to ordinary Australians by gambling. Peta Murphy has been forgotten. Gambling is not part of sport and never will be, despite the best efforts of the gambling lobby. Good on #Pocock and the other independents for taking a stand. #Auspol
Voracious ReaderThe only problem with David Pocock is that I have to add a qualifying footnote to my thoughts.
I can't just go "All politicians are corrupt, self-serving, inept scumbags!" any more.
I now have to think "All politicians¹ are corrupt, self-serving, inept scumbags!"

skuaI'd rate the usual professional sports-star as a better choice than #ScottMorrison - but that's not saying much with just about anyone being a better choice than Scottie from Marketing.
#Pocock though keeps coming up with good stuff for the nation - and leverages his former-sports-star minor-celebrity status to get excellent publicity for the good stuff.
It's the responsibility of the artist to #SubvertTheDominantParadigm.
David looks to be doing #PoliticalArt.

Jim PembrokeWant to hear something "obscene"?
"The Australian Resources & Energy Employer Association whose members are recording super profits while imposing crippling energy prices on business and consumers",
Are the ones leading the charge against low paid workers getting a fair wage.
