GAME DAY - 2019 Fed election Goals and Clangers thread ALP 7.10.52 LNP 5.3.33 FT

[Admiral Byng]

I’m thinking rushed behind

Hit the behind post on the full I think. Score review ...

 

[Badesumofu]

The so-called settled science is not quite as settled as people say. And that’s my position. Nevertheless we have only got one planet; we should do what we reasonably can to rest lightly upon it.

Feel this is a significant clanger from Tones.

 

[Darkyprotector]

Plenty to dispute

1. I stopped the boats , try no monsoons and Rudd did

2 We've created 1 000000 jobs
Oh no we're 220000 short even with 20% public jobs

Now these facts are well known
Bureau of statistics and border force documents back it up


Any chance of honesty?

Some journalism perhaps

Feel this is a significant clanger from Tones.

But by Tony's standards, this is a decent kick from the old fella. Like Levi Casboult kicking a behind from 50m out

Tones needs to focus less on talking and more on onions

I'm scraping and storing sportsbet election data for each seat hourly, will be interesting to see how goals/clangers impact the odds

 

[NSWCROW]

It's a massive clanger.

After being bombarded by leaflets, texts from Clive I am now receiving mail from Bernardi in a very safe Labor seat. Go figure.

Is anything ever their fault? They do not take responsibility for anything. I was just "reflecting the views raised with me by my constituents" **** OFF

It's the trump tactic. I don't know, but I keep hearing from people that xxxxxxxx.

It puts it out there but gives deniability

Oops, not a good start.

Chris Bowen’s statement:

Scott Morrison has been caught out lying about Labor again. This is a humiliating rebuke and confirms that Scott Morrison cannot be trusted on the economy.

Every time Scott Morrison talks about Labor and the economy for the next five weeks, Australians will know that Scott Morrison is lying to them.

Today the Prime Minister said on Sunrise:
“…versus a Labor government under Bill Shorten that will increase taxes by, it shows with Treasury costings $387 billion …”.

The Treasury Secretary said in a response to the letter from the Shadow Treasurer:
“We were not asked to cost another party’s policies and would not do so …”
And furthermore, the Treasury also distanced itself from the total tax take claim made by the Prime Minister with Mr Gaetjens saying: “we did not provide a total”.

Treasury completed a costings request based on policy details and specification not provided by the Opposition, but by the Treasurer’s office.
The last six years have seen a determined effort by Scott Morrison and successive Liberal Treasurers to politicise and devalue the Treasury and its officials.

Also liked her response to his claims “that what some constituents are telling me” with “put this on the record some people tell me Peter Dutton is a horrible human being”

And 387 billion in more taxes isn’t bad in itself if you can show good use (or enough use to benefit more people) of it.

Class warfare? So ****ing what
And a part of the higher taxes is just not bringing in tax cuts for high income earners

 

[Generalissimo]

If you'd told me earlier this year, without naming names, that an MP was going to poke fun at someone for being an amputee Peter Dutton would have been the first name to spring to mind.

Totally, 100% agree.

I also think if you were framing a market for the first candidate to give us a massive clanger, you wouldn't have gotten more than $1.15 on Dutton.

It is understood Melissa Parke withdrew her candidacy after reports she told a group of pro-Palestinian activists last month that Australia should recognise a Palestinian state and that Israel's settlements were akin to China's island building activity in the South China Sea.



In the speech she also took aim at Israel's influence in Australian politics and said there was no doubt Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, while illegal under international law, were "a reaction to and a consequence of decades of brutal occupation"

Questions about eligibility under Section 44 have forced the Liberal Party to relinquish three of its preselected candidates in Melbourne just as the election campaign begins.

The party's candidate for the marginal north suburban Labor seat of Wills, Vaishali Ghosh, was forced to step aside over her Indian heritage, while Kate Oski, Liberal candidate for the safe western suburbs Labor seat of Lalor, had to resign because she may be able to claim Polish citizenship through her father.
Helen Jackson, the Liberals' candidate for Cooper (formerly known as Batman), was asked to resign from the contest because she is an Australia Post employee, but she has refused and will soon be disendorsed, Liberal sources say.

Working as a public servant may compromise a candidate's eligibility, according to Section 44 of the Australian Constitution.

The party is scrambling to find new candidates ahead of the close of nominations on April 23, and will need to double-check the eligibility status of their other candidates ahead of the election on May 18.

Malcolm Turnbull's son has orchestrated donations for Liberal Party defector Julia Banks' campaign to unseat Health Minister Greg Hunt at the federal election, as the "unusual" funding structure behind four high-profile independents sparks a formal complaint.

The Liberal Party has asked the Australian Electoral Commission to urgently investigate whether the creation of near-identical financial vehicles for Ms Banks, Kerryn Phelps, Tony Abbott opponent Zali Steggall and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg's rival Oliver Yates "circumvents" donation laws.
