LP on Twitter
Just a quick reminder that we have a Twitter presence. It’s one way of being updated about posts, and also, particularly during this campaign, a medium we take advantage of for livechat about set pieces such as last night’s leaders’ [...]
Rudd's chances, the Gillard bounce and the blogosphere conversation
As an update to my link post yesterday, I thought it worthwhile drawing folks’ attention to Possum’s latest installment of pseph-y goodness. Of interest, aside from quantifying the increase in Labor’s primary vote under Gillard, is the fact that he’s [...]
Oh no! We forgot our birthday! LP turns 5!
Yikes! Our fifth blogiversary was last Tuesday. That’s a long time in internet years. 7095 posts, 309041 comments and counting since March 16, 2005; thanks to all my lovely fellow LP bloggers, commenters and readers!
Rudd on Qanda open thread
The first Q&A for the year features Kevin Rudd and an audience of yoof in Old Parliament House (no doubt screened according to approved Abetz principles to include quotas of Young Libs, LaRoucheites, etc). I won’t be liveblogging it, because [...]
LP on Facebook and Twitter

Four More Years!
Today is LP’s fourth birthday! So if you’re feeling in a nostalgic mood, or if you weren’t around way back when, you can check out the first two posts or have a look at a snapshot of where we were [...]
Pineapple Party Time!
Folks with long memories might recall I covered the 2006 Queensland election for Crikey. In discussing with the Crikey peeps what might be the best way to go in terms of reporting on and analysis of the 2009 Queensland election, [...]
The media, social media and the Liberal thrills and spills
By Mark Bahnisch on November 28, 2009
