The communications regulator has not collected basic data on how telcos have implemented a new phone-blocking rule following the 3G network shutdown, despite flagging a potential "conflict of interest" inherent to it. Days ahead of the shutdown late last year, the government finalised a new "direction" that required telecom companies to refuse service to phones that relied on 3G for making emergency calls.

Labor took the glory in last weekend's election, but beneath the surface an ongoing trend in how Australia votes has quietly carried on. The major parties' primary vote has, once again, fallen. In fact, there is a strong chance that the combined independent and minor party vote will beat one of the major parties for the first time in seven decades. On a simple two-sided political axis, most seats swung left towards Labor last Saturday.

While we know that (almost) every Australian over the age of 18 voted in Saturday's federal election, we don't know who they voted for. This makes it impossible to know exactly why the Coalition suffered such a brutal defeat. To make up for that, we're going to do the next best thing. We can compare the demographics of each electorate with how those electorates voted to see what patterns emerge in the data.

Australian voters have delivered Anthony Albanese "a win for the ages" that should see Labor with more seats than at any point in its history. More even than Kevin Rudd or Bob Hawke after their most famous victories. Albanese outperformed the polls and the pundits' expectations on a historic night that will leave the Coalition interrogating where it all went so very wrong, with Peter Dutton "fired into the Sun" and many other senior figures and potential future leaders wiped out.

This triangle is going to help us explain how Australian politics has fundamentally changed. Like typical triangles, it has three sides, and three corners. But this one has special meaning — each corner represents different electoral groups. In the bottom left, Labor. In the bottom right, the Coalition. And at the top, every other party and independent. We're going to plot electorates on this triangle, according to how the people in them vote.
