What happens if wages go up?

But will that help NDIS out then?

Apparently there's a debate on tonight. Anyone watching it?

God, Albanese is hopeless.

Luckily he is up against an even worse politician in Morrison. If the Libs seriously wanted to have a certain win, they would have appointed anyone else and coasted to victory, instead of waiting until after the election as usual to do this. Because of this, the election will be much closer than it should be. Silly politics by the Libs.

Why is Libs so much Better then Labor?


Only IF you are Rich or a Business Owner

No, it would have sent the party into meltdown. It would have had to have been a planned transition. A fight for the leadership so close to an election would hand the ALP the election.

Worked for Hawke when he took over from Hayden in the drover’s dog election

Slightly different though, Hawke/Hayden were trying to win from Opposition against Fraser who'd been there a long time and was generally as popular as a fart in an elevator.

Cutting Morrison down before the election would have been messy, people have had enough of it, and it would have turned into a shitfight between Dutton and Frydenberg and neither would have wanted to challenge at this time.

Incumbency does provide some benefits, while Slo Mo isn't exactly Mr Popularity at the moment either, Albo has the sparkling personality of a dish sponge.

Odds are that Labor will win with the help of Independents and Green preferences. In that case, Slo Mo will likely retire and let the party choose the next leader with somewhat clear aironce they finish with the usual naval gazing and blame casting.

If the Lib/Nat's DO win this, Labor will spontaneously explode. It won't be pretty.

Yeah Stu and David, I get your points. If I was a betting man (which I’m not) I would be backing the Libs due to the reasons I posted before. However there is still time for other results so a bit more water to flow under the bridge yet.

[eddiesmith]

No chance Liberals win, but it’s hard to work out what will happen. A lot of media is reporting a landslide, yet another said Liberals would lose 10 seats when it was 53-47, yet Labor have to win 10 seats to win government in their own right, so not sure how that ends in a landslide?

Clive Parma is apparently expected to do well in Victoria, mostly as a backlash against Andrews lockdowns.

Whether that translates to anything other than a blip remains to be seen, but if you scroll through the article the amount of money being spent on Youtube ads is ridiculous.

Parma has spent near $16M on 235 ads, Labor has spent around $1M on just under 3500 ads. That's some heavy duty spamming.

Clive Palmer reminds me a Very Much of Donald Trump.

Saying he is doing everything for Australia but has a Dodgy Background

[stui magpie]

Dave, minor or fringe parties like UAP, One Nation or Greens can promise whatever the hell they like because they know they'll never be in a position to have to deliver.
