ALP 65%, LNP 56%, Green 51%.

Well, you wont be placed on their target list of people to brainwash via social-media, given you have already been sufficiently fooled into voting exactly how they want you to.



*Congrats*

I think if you researched all the names of those who helped "engineer" Vote Compass, you will find they are all of a certain political persuasion.



Start by researching the following Compass Executive Committee members...

Yannick Dufresne, Director of Communications
Gregory Eady, Director of Analytics

There is a common theme here, can you pick it?

Garbage Roach, you have been sucked in again. That or you know fine well what it is.

Furthermore, they would love to gain the twitter accounts and email addresses of those who they think they stand a chance of persuading .

A social-network campaign target list, is what’s being generated from that survey.

Lol, you gave them your email addy and Twitter account didn’t you Roach.

sigh.... ah no i didn't.
You know I wonder why I bother at all with you.
I note... abc, melb uni and syd uni... thanks for proving me right yet again...

Don't you ever get tired of looking stupid?

You are a moron Roach, that or are one of Labors Gov 2.0 task force bureaucrats gripping onto your desk job for grim death.

Roach, Labors Gov 2.0

Here, egov placing pressure on a potentially incoming government.

You need to look into Vote Compass, egov and a gov 2.0 task-force a little more me thinks.

[Rorschach]

oh dear...

your point?



Vote Compass was designed by people in the University of Toronto.
The ABC, Melb and Syd Uni have gotten together with them to use their political tool at this election.

Maybe you could use wikipedia and get better information
care to try and explain your thoughts on the subject and not just post random links that come up when you google vote compass?

Vote Compass is an online educational tool that promotes electoral literacy and democratic engagement. It allows users to explore the positions of political parties or candidates for office during a given election. Vote Compass is designed to provide users with a personalized, immediate, and easy-to-understand assessment outlining how their individual opinions on a sampling of policy issues situate them within a two-dimensional ideological space and vis-à-vis the political parties running for office.

Vote Compass is also the legal name of the Canadian non-profit organization responsible for the development and oversight of the application.

Vote Compass was piloted at the outset of the 2011 Canadian federal election campaign in partnership with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It attracted nearly two million respondents during its inaugural five-week run. It has since been commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for the 2011 Ontario provincial election, the 2012 Alberta provincial election, the 2012 Quebec provincial election, and the 2013 British Columbia provincial election. It was also commissioned by The Wall Street Journal for the 2012 U.S. Presidential election and by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for the 2013 Australian federal election.

Of course you might think the Canadians have some dread plans for us mel, but I doubt it.

You have not a clue.

It's not so much as the tool "Vote Compass" itself as it is the manner in which it's being used/executed by those entrusted with the duty of using it as a means to 'engage' voters here in Australia.

Again, refer to the list of names I mentioned in my earlier post.

Political scientists local to each jurisdiction in which Vote Compass is run are recruited to a project-specific steering committee, and who do you suppose does the recruiting Roach?

The pixies?

Vote Compass has already faced criticism during the 2011 Canadian federal election campaign for an alleged Liberal bias. The accusation was first made by Kathy Brock, an associate professor of political science at Queen's University, who noted that one could provide identical responses to each proposition in Vote Compass (i.e. answer "strongly agree" to all propositions or "strongly disagree" to all propositions) and would in each case be positioned closest to the Liberal Party in the results.

If you think i'm wearing a tin-foil hat Roach, then I suspect others must be wearing one also?

Yes, Senator Abetz, ABC's Vote Compass is indeed Orwellian

Summary: The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has sponsored a political analysis tool that gathers information about your political beliefs and sends it — where, exactly?

Continues....

I spotted it straight off the bat, before having got half-way through the survey even.

It's not rocket science Roach.

Pity you will be forced to eat your words on this one Roach as more come forward and express their views on Vote Compass.

It's not too late to edit your posts Roach, it's not like I have screen-saved them for future reference to poke fun at you or anything....

oops, too late, I already am. My bad,..*slaps own hand*
