@wayneL Makes you wonder why they bother to include their e-mail addresses along with phone numbers.Don't hold your breath, last election I sent several emails to my local member.
Crickets.
@sptrawler Most Fed Elections are joke, with dumb and dumber as the choices and not too much between the carrots they offer up each time.Even the champion of the left leaning political writers, Ross Gittens, thinks this election is a joke.
Well for once I agree with him.
This election is one of the worst I’ve seen. Here’s the one thing we can do to fix Australian politics
I think both sides of politics are treating us like mugs. Maybe like the mugs many of us have allowed ourselves to become.www.smh.com.au
We are going for early voting to avoid the hordes pushing their how to vote paperwork into our faces.The sooner May 3 arrives the better, because at least then the politicians will have run out of time to dream up hare-brained expensive proposals.

That's a good 30% profit.But as of Sunday, the money markets now have a Labor victory at $1.31 with a Coalition win at $3.55.
1.28 now.That's a good 30% profit.
I think they are a certainty, IMO they have been since the beginning of election talk.1.28 now.
I don't know if you can trust the polling. Been wrong before!
He was winning when Trump got in, in my opinion.I think they are a certainty, IMO they have been since the beginning of election talk.
The early polling that had Dutton in front, I personally think it was selective polling, to get the desired outcome.
Wanna bet ?Polling is wrong. Betting markets are not.
If pollsters had to bet their own money on the polls they produced we would see far more accurate polls.
Indeed. I look at this in different way; the Labor Party is not a certainty to win but the LNP is a certainty to lose. Dutton, in common with the center right parties mostly across the anglosphere try to appeal to voters who would never vote for them anyway and thereby alienating their core constituency (including moi). They try to appeal to the left instead of appealing to conservatives and classical liberals. As it stands there is nothing conservative, nor classically liberal about the Liberal/National Party coalition. As you rightly point out, they do not have any sort of cohesive plan, nothing to appeal to those interested in the greater good, only two lots of grifters competing with the other who can offer the greater pork barrel. 4ucking disgusting.I think they are a certainty, IMO they have been since the beginning of election talk.

The Libs just don't have a cohesive plan and it is all reactive policy on the run, they just lack any talent at the the moment.
@wayneL No matter who comes out on top on May 3 it will be dumb or dumber, not much talent on either side.Indeed.

Albo wins by default and our country goes down the gurgler.
One thing Labor and Liberal have in common is in their present form both are radically different from what their founders intended them to be.As it stands there is nothing conservative, nor classically liberal about the Liberal/National Party coalition. As you rightly point out, they do not have any sort of cohesive plan, nothing to appeal to those interested in the greater good, only two lots of grifters competing with the other who can offer the greater pork barrel.
Until further evidence I see that as nothing more than a grift. Their former constituency should still invest heavily in KY jelly, because that is what is coming for them in my opinion.One thing Labor and Liberal have in common is in their present form both are radically different from what their founders intended them to be.
That said, I do see signs Labor is starting to drift back more toward what was originally intended. Albo's starting to talk more about industry and infrastructure, less about the things that appeal to the city-centric rich. There's a long way to go but I do see some change there, I suspect Albo at least does somewhat grasp what's turned many away from the party.
And the LNP are the custard on the jelly!!!!Until further evidence I see that as nothing more than a grift. Their former constituency should still invest heavily in KY jelly, because that is what is coming for them in my opinion.
Either way, bums to the wall.And the LNP are the custard on the jelly!!!!
Firstly oppositions seldom win solely on their platform, generally sitting Governments lose because they have performed badly, which other than the labor party screwing over young house buyers and renters they have done ok.Indeed.
