Seeing several right-wingers circulating "results" of a news.com.au #pollshapedobject on Welcome to Country. This is simply an opt-in of people who voted on said website - readers skew massively right + opt-ins are prone to brigading and manipulation.

Daily Telegraph never learns - claiming an unscientific opt-in of its own wildly skewed readerbase is a "poll". It's time to ban this nonsense to save such papers from embarrassing themselves.

This is a #pollshapedobject. It's funded by Advance, the pollster's only previous public polls were inaccurate and the preference flows are implausibly weak for those seats.

Excellent Media Watch episode re Compass poll of McMahon shows that Matt Camenzuli's name was prechecked for SMS response though supposedly respondents had to recheck it for response to be counted. Absolutely bizarre survey method. #pollshapedobject

Herald-Sun had some gossip about Nats internal polling supposedly showing Jacinta Allan trailing the generic Nat vote in her seat. While it is not impossible that that is true, the lack of any number or pollster details for scrutiny whatsover renders it a #pollshapedobject.
