How this feed is ranked
Corpus: listed X/Twitter statements from politicians on ingest tier ≤ 2 (leaders and frontbench), scored over a fixed last-7-days window. Heuristics prefilter candidates; an LLM scores evidence and rhetoric; ranking mixes evidence (~45%), rhetorical force (~25%), author tier (~20%), and recency (~10%), with a category mix that prioritises failure/admission/sarcasm over pure attack.
Incumbent government is currently Labor (ALP) — update after elections. “Government Response” applies only to posts by Labor/ALP authors under pressure; One Nation, Coalition, Greens, and Independents are never labelled that way (critique of Labor is Opposition Attack or Failure framing). Engagement metrics are optional in v1. Full pipeline notes live on the methodology page.
