What the heck is going on here?

This is a simple first preference and public funding predictor based on the 2025 Australian federal election.

  • This looks at the first preference vote at the 2025 election and models what might happen in the future

  • This is not a robust prediction, more like a what if scenario
  • This doesn't yet match how the public funding rules of parties really works

  • This assumes a population growth of 1.5% per year
  • This calculates based on national % > than 4% where AEC looks at 4% in an electorate
  • There's a large jump from 0 years to 1 year. This is because at the last election each first preference is $3.5 public funding for that party
  • From the next election onwards each first preference is $5 of public funding
  • A bug seems to be applying generation change at year 0 - % of FP votes at 0 years should be the same as the election
