@galen As I’m sure you’re aware, the referendum has happened. Would you mind resolving this?

predicted YES

@Gabrielle Sorry about the short delay with my resolution on this! I had in mind that my note in the description saying "Resolves the same as this metaculus question" would be interpreted as "I will resolve this after (& in the direction of) the metaculus resolution".

predicted YES

Received this in the mail today, but still no date confirmed:

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, confirmed the voice to parliament referendum will be held between October and December, most likely early October.

predicted YES

Albanese has announced that a referendum will occur before 2023, so this will very likely be YES.

Given that the trading activity and volume on this market is very small relative to the enormous liquidity subsidies, I expect that Metaculus's prediction (78% as of 11-27) is better than the current Manifold prediction

predicted YES

@TomShlomi I agree! At the time that I subsidised the liquidity, I wasn’t expecting that it would stay so outsized relative to other markets.

This market is currently the most liquid market on Manifold. I expect more trading activity over the next few days now that I've implemented a sort by liquidity option on the Search page.

predicted YES

@SG This is so confusing to me! I added liquidity to this when I created it, because it’s interesting and decision-relevant to people I know. From my perspective, I was trying to incentivise more accurate & active trading. I’m surprised other users haven’t done this more!

predicted YES

@galen They will now!

predicted YES

@SG Pay for information that’s valuable to you, people! It’s it hard to do, and it gives you bonus warm fuzzy feelings!

predicted YES

@galen I will be re-introducing 3rd party subsidization soon (and making more prominent in the UI).
