Something "passes the pub test" if ordinary Australian drinkers would deem it to be fair.

In Australian politics, the pub test is a standard for judging policies, proposals and decisions. Something which "passes the pub test" is something the ordinary patron in an Australian pub would understand and accept to be fair, were it to come up in conversation.[1] The test may also be applied to individual people; a politician "passes the pub test" if the average Australian drinker would perceive them as authentic and likeable.[2]

History

The phrase is primarily used in Australia, although there is some evidence of it being used in the United Kingdom as well. The term is thought to have been coined by Prime Minister John Howard.[3] Mark Glynn, a researcher at the Australian National Dictionary Centre, cited Howard as having frequently used the phrase in the 1990s.[4]

Although the pub test is usually raised as a hypothetical, it has been invoked to describe real-life events. Tasmanian Premier Will Hodgman held meet-and-greets at hospitality venues in his state under the name of "The Pub Test".[5] The final leaders' debate at the 2022 Australian federal election, conducted by Seven News, was judged by a panel of 150 undecided voters watching from pubs in marginal seats.[6]

Reception

The test has been compared to reasonable person standards in law;[7]Politico described the test as "Britain's man on the Clapham omnibus but three beers in".[8]Katherine Firth, a lecturer at La Trobe University, compared the pub test to the hypothetical person on "a Bourke Street Tram" referenced in legal decisions in Melbourne.[9]

A pesar de su uso generalizado, los comentaristas han criticado la prueba del pub por varios motivos. Un argumento es que los clientes de los pubs no representan realmente la opinión pública; [ 10 ] [ 11 ] otro descarta los pubs como lugares poco fiables para un debate intelectual productivo. [ 12 ] Otra línea argumental es que exigir que las políticas reflejen las preferencias de los votantes comunes garantiza la mediocridad, [ 13 ] [ 14 ] o que evaluar algunas propuestas en primer lugar requiere conocimientos técnicos detallados de los que carecen estos votantes.
