25 February 1967: broadcast of third episode of The Moonbase. The Cybermen take over the base, but Polly works out a way of killing them with nail varnish remover.
25 February 1978: broadcast of fourth episode of The Invasion of Time. Leela and the Shobogans combine with the Doctor to destroy the Vardans; but the Sontarans have landed.
I think this is his follow up where he concedes that he’s only comparing the shift from one set of district boundaries to another but he sticks to his guns on the role of incumbency.

I grew up in Queensland which was quite heavily and successfully gerrymandered over about 50 years. First for the Labour Party and then for the Country National Party. I think we had four Premiers in 50 years.
Very far from healthy. When the Country Nats won, partly on clean up politics anti-gerrymandering platform they instituted a gerrymander of their own which was more persistent that the previous Labour one.
The corruption scandals which finally brought down the Ahern government were something to see.
I think one of the best things the new Labour Premier, Wayne Goss, did after finally winning an election was to undo and get rid of the gerrymandering. In which he was helped by one Kevin Rudd.
