Talk:2018 Mayo by-election

Georgina Downer

Why is there no page on her? She's a former spokesperson for the Institute of Public Affairs (before running for parliament). Timeoin (talk) 07:03, 3 June 2018 (UTC) Timeoin (talk) 07:03, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

That does not qualify her for her own article. If she were to become a parliamentarian however then she would qualify. Timeshift (talk) 07:22, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Two ReachTEL polls? Can't find the second one.

According to this and other articles I found from news.google, there should be two ReachTEL polls so far for the Mayo by-election. The 5 June ReachTEL of 1031 voters is cited by PDF at Mayo by-election, 2018#Polling, however it seems there is another ReachTEL commissioned by Seven of 831 voters, and I can't find the details of that one anywhere, apart from some news articles conflating the two. Help anyone? Timeshift (talk) 08:01, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Where did you read about the Seven one? PollBludger only has the 5 June one and a YouGov, it seems? The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:13, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

[1][2][3][4] - PollBludger only mentions the ReachTEL poll commissioned by The Australia Institute of 1031 voters... they don't mention the ReachTEL poll commissioned by Channel Seven of 831 voters. "A ReachTEL poll of 1031 voters shows Sharkie has a 58-42 lead over Downer on a two-party preferred basis. The poll, taken on June 5 for the Australia Institute ... The poll mirrors another commissioned by Channel 7, also conducted by ReachTEL, from a sample of 831 local voters." Timeshift (talk) 09:52, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
