He he, I laughed when he said that he was being discriminated against because he belonged to a minority group..........of Billionaires. "We don't attack poor people because they are poor, and we shouldn't attack rich people because they are rich. We don't want those divisions in society." An...

latest BludgerTrack for July. Not enough data with the sudden change of ALP leader for continuity but good for a giggle. Quote: The projected final seat outcome, which would put Labor in a position to continue governing with the support of Andrew Wilkie and Adam Bandt from a minority of the...

So, rather than debate the logic you choose to call me a liar. Anyway I expect the Coalition to win the coming election because Labor needs to pick up seats, especially with the two resigning Independents returning to the Coalition column. Also I expect some weakening in the Labor vote in Vic...

Because Labor removed a Queensland Prime Minister I thought they would lose all those Queensland seats they gained to previously swing the 2007 election their way. I put the eventual result being so close down to the different NBN policies at the time. Now they've removed a Southern Prime...

No I'm not a betting man. I got the last election result wrong. I thought that Abbott would have won easily. I was very surprised when he lost.

All of the above and the coalition behavior in opposition for the last few years may have backfired.

http://www.roymorgan.com/findings/morgan-poll-july1-2013-201307010635 This week’s Morgan Poll, the second since Kevin Rudd became Prime Minister, shows another swing to the ALP. The ALP 51.5% (up 2% since last Wednesday’s special snap SMS Morgan Poll) is now ahead of the L-NP 48.5% (down 2%) on...

Yep, taken at Joan Kirner’s 60th Birthday bash 15 years ago.

Watch out. Theoretically the election could be held sometime between August and early November.

You never know he might not be PM if he wins. It could be Abbott as caretaker. Now everybody, let's play musical chairs. Who wants the treasurers seat.

Well, I imagine they have committed not to contest at the next election so they would be there for a few weeks. Then what? A loss and both of them are gone, possibly.

I was of the understanding that pre Windsor Labor's 2PP vote could occasionally touch the high 40's and his presence as an option caused the Labor vote to tank. And didn't he contest the last election with environmental issues and the NBN as his major focus? "Mr Windsor says Australia has...

What? Anyhow he did a remarkable job of getting under Rudds skin,

Abbott thrives on that sort of thing. He's the attack dog craving power and focused on the short term. Windsor is more of a thinker who looks further ahead than next week.

He's 62 and has put up with such vitriol as you show in your post for nearly 3 years now. Time for him to take a rest from being the target of the ugly side of Australia. They have taken up the challenge from Gillard then. So what's the likely scenario if they succeed? Rudd leads Labor to...

IMHO falling results have a lot to do with the lack of engagement by some parents. Not surprising when you consider the number of broken marriages these days. Reminds me of when I was managing Primary School Cricket. 13 kids in the "A" team and I couldn't get help from any of the parents. Of...

Yes it would be scary if that 5% swing was extrapolated across the country and we had a 50/50 result because we could have another hung parliament and the associated perception of political instability for another 3 years. Yes, I wonder if Gillard will suffer the ignominy of Howard and not...

Yes, the Abbott - Turnbull popularity is tied amongst Coalition voters but 80% of Labor voters prefer him. Maybe one of the reasons he is out of favour amongst his own party members apart from climate change belief is because he backs a Republic, whilst Abbott is a staunch Monarchist. That's one...

That probably came about due to the unpopularity of Abbott amongst many in the community. The public like Turnbull but his own party hold him in less favour.

The person (David Carter) who sent it out via twitter previously sent it to some Labor people via twitter closer to the date but he had no response. He had found the menu on a staff members Facebook page. After reading some comment Hockey tweeted in response to Gillards blue tie statements...
