So about the same percentage that voted at the last election.

65% actually could give a f**k and wanted their voice heard and it was.
I think it went up slightly compared to 2020.

But not the "majority" that Avenger was trying to imply, nor close to any majority in terms of what it might mean for Australian mandatory elections.

It’s still more than enough to be indicative and statistically accurate to the entire population.
Perhaps... although some here might argue it's a small sample size.

My point being it's far from equivalent to any majority "movement" in terms of how Australian election operate... so one would be a fool to make inferences about Albo etc from the US election result.

So 36% + 5% gets you a 41% "majority" in an Australian election...? That's barely above the usual Coalition vote, and not enough to win.
I’m saying that if 100m people voted out of a population 300m than the result of the people who did would be accurate to about 95% if everyone voted. Same way that some seats are called before the final count is obtained.

So in a 52% Republican v 48% Democrat US result, that would mean the inference to Australia results within %% accuracy either way would be:

Conservatives between 47-57%
Labour between 43-53%

Not enough to conclude any potential winner there I'm afraid.
