    Can a new election model redraw Australia's political math?
    Saul Eslake sits down with economist and modeller Tim Murray to unpack a new Bayesian-ML model's insights and predictions for the 2025 Australian election. They walk through how the model fuses past electoral outcomes with each poll’s hits, misses, and house bias; layering data from every level: national, state/territory, individual seats, and key demographics. That blend reveals which groups and locations are really shifting the vote this cycle, and folds them into one coherent framework that shows how voters actually feel.
