....As for Abbott or Rudd, I won't be voting for either.
The margin of error is usually defined as the radius of a confidence interval for a particular statistic from a survey. When a single, global margin of error is reported for a survey, it refers to the maximum margin of error for all reported percentages using the full sample from the survey. If the statistic is a percentage, this maximum margin of error can be calculated as the radius of the confidence interval for a reported percentage of 50%. I suggest that a poll with a random sample of larger numbers than were standing in the Ross River Hotel that night having a margin of sampling error of 3% for the estimated percentage of the whole population. A 3% margin of error means that if the same procedure is used a large number of times, 95% of the time the true population average will be within the 95% confidence interval of the sample estimate plus or minus 3%. The margin of error can be reduced by using a larger sample, however if a pollster wishes to reduce the margin of error to 1% they would need a sample of around 10,000 people.

Why can't you Labor lackies be honest for once. Open your eyes man and don't believe everything you read in the paper of statements made by our dear Julia. Overtime pay and penalty rates were well and truly compensated with increased rates in Work Place Agreements. The calculations on pays were also made easier without having to be menaced with time and a half or double time or what you should receive on a public holidays or whether one worked on night shift or day shift
You can't tell me in the majority of mining projects that work place agreements still don't exist where one works a 12 hour day in some cases two weeks straight in mines that operate 24/7.
I know of a case in Townsville where this woman has worked for a well known Hotel for 25years. She is on rostered days which may include Saturdays and Sundays. She works a 38 hour week and her pay never varies from one week to the next, however the rate of pay is well over the award for the duty she performs. I believe in the vicinity of some + 15%. She receives sick leave, 4 weeks annual holidays and long sevice leave. The variation in wage rates are agreed to every 2 years. Any employee who is worth his/her 'SALT" will, in the majority of cases, be well and truly compensated by his /her employer.
What on Earth is Peter Costello trying to do to Tony Abbott and the Liberal Party with his criticism of the Parental Maternity leave?
Is Costello now working for the Labor Party?
What a feast those Labor Party stooges will have in Question time today!!
Noco, you're attributing lofty motivation to Mr Costello for his damaging remarks, i.e. that he is essentially concerned for the wellbeing of the Liberal Party.Maybe Peter Costello is trying prevent the Coaltion from winning the next election with his terse remarks. I'm beginning to beleive Costello has a premonition of a double dip recession in 2011 and wants to keep the Coalition free of the problem. Maybe Rudd wants to loose the next election for the same reason.

Did it occur to you that he is still mightily put out by what he sees as John Howard's failure to keep to their agreement to hand over the leadership before the last election, and is enjoying very much the opportunity to take some revenge.
Consider how long he sat tauntingly on the back bench, refusing to say whether he intended to stay on or not, thus preventing the party from moving on while they waited and hoped he would accept the leadership.
My definite guess is that his motivation is much more likely personal revenge plus a genuine wish not to align himself with Mr Abbott's stupid parental leave plan.
I am in the balmy Stanthorpe tonight, so much cooler than Townsville.

How are the apples up there in Stanthorpe? Blight free?

Same pay from one week to next sounds like a salary to me.
Take away penalties for a equal flat pay rate just to make it easier on the pay clerk?
Trust me we'll look after ya mate bahahaha.
Looks like we have double Labor victory's in TAS and SA with South Aussie looking like a real 'true believers ' Labor victory...big swing against Labor in TAS but not enough to change the status quo.
Strange how the Greens poll so well there..:dunno: TA certainly has a job ahead of him.
Tony Abbott has a great chance to damage Rudd next Tuesday.
