Exclusive poll reveals ScoMo on track to lose four WA seats

Premier Mark McGowan has maintained his approval rating through a Christmas COVID scare — but the outlook is far bleaker for Scott Morrison, with new polling placing the PM on track for a WA election drubbing.

Thirty six deaths today in NSW. If thirty six people had died in a terrorist act in one day untold billions of dollars would be thrown at getting to the bottom of it, as it happens our government appears not to care.

You also wouldn't see discussion tempered by whether those 36 terrorist victims have underlying health conditions...

"Of the 36 deaths, 28 had arthritis, asthma, diabetes or could stand to lose a few kilos... so all good."

Perrottet still saying we need to 'get on with life'. Well, except those 36 people, of course.

Porter was also a notable AG whatever your take is on him.

hmmm... I would have said the last coalition AG of substance was Darryl Williams.

Compare his credentials with Porter or Cash...

no thanks... I want him there on election day.

just a chronic lack of self-awareness.

It's not that bad.
Fighting through this, is the answer.
We're over the worst of it.
You need to get back to work.
RAT are on the way.
Keep an eye out for them.
We can work through this.
Maybe being at work is a good thing.
It's milder.
It won't be as deadly as delta.
No need to shut down.
Look we are taking wickets in covid.

NOT THAT THAT'S EVER HAPPENED IN THE PAST 10 YEARS HERE IN SYDNEY OR ANYTHING.......................................

Mr Morrison said on Monday he believed the way to withstand the pandemic was to “push through” the rising cases, noting that vaccination rates were high and the overwhelming majority of Omicron cases led to very mild illness.

Coalition primary vote drops below Labor’s for the first time: Resolve survey

Concerns over the recent handling of the pandemic have delivered a backlash against Prime Minister Scott Morrison, with the Coalition dropping below Labor’s primary vote.

Ignores that thousands of people can’t work, businesses closing, supply chain chaos, let alone a health system on its knees.
Don’t forget - this is what they wanted before we had access to the vaccines they couldn’t be bothered to order because “it’s not a race”

Let's hope Queensland doesn't stuff things up for the rest of the country on election night again. PHON now in the teens in Qld based on this poll when it has bugger all support elsewhere. The primary vote for both major parties in Qld is very low according to this poll so (if true) preferences are going to have a big say on the 2PP. Oddly this poll now has Queensland as home of the Greens with them gaining 5% over the past two months to be now 15% .

Hidden bugs and helium: Bernard Collaery on our troubled history with East Timor - ABC listen

Australia's relationship with East Timor has been marred by deceptions including the infamous bugging of the government offices during border negotiations and over the exact nature of oil and gas reserves in the Timor Sea. Bernard Collaery lists them all in a new book.

Australia's shameful history of mistreating East Timor

Bernard Collaery is well known as a legal champion of Timor-Leste and a thorn in the side of successive Australian governments as they have illegally and immorally stolen that country's resources. Barry Healy takes a look at his new book Oil Under Troubled Water.

Who just gives away billions? Is this what the Collaery case is all about? - Pearls and Irritations

Many of us have heard about the prosecution of Bernard Collaery on the say-so of Christian Porter. But very few know much more than that it is an almost secret trial against the former ACT Attorney-General. Unfortunately, John le Carré is no longer with us to tell this intriguing tale. Witness K...

crikey have covered the story as well ...... bernard keane especially has been very critical of the feds over the treatment of bernard collaery and witness k (not sure he has touched on the motivations behind the bugging specifically)

Sorry, I thought you meant there was helium in the Sunrise field. Bayu-Undan is almost depleted.

Me too. And just a reminder to everyone that if and when he loses, do pen a polite, respectful letter to Mr Morrison saying how happy you are for Australia that he lost, because of what a diabolically ordinary prime minister he was.

Qld will be an LNP outlier stronghold for years to come. The LNP are pariah status in Victoria and WA thanks to their focus on coal jobs and only coal jobs. Next leader will be Dutton and they'll go further and lose bigger.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

ScoMo’s been under a lot of pressure these last two years.
It’s fair to say he should stand down now as Prime Minister just to give us all a fighting chance to get through this.

TAB odds as of today (not that I advocate betting on politics or anything else for that matter):

LNP - $2.75
ALP - $1.45

 

[Not Important]

he's a dead man walking politically.

The party needs a rebuild.

 

[Saint]

The party needs a rebuild.

Need to fracture both the ALP and LNP.

Create a multi-party system.

Social media has already started this process, factional gaps are wider than ever on both sides.

A few things:

1) Polls invariably overrate ON's performance in QLD.

2) That the Greens, of all parties, have an even bigger PV than ON firstly brings into doubt the poll's methodology, but also suggests (as I've been saying) that there is more than one QLD. There's Brisbane (inner-city/working families land), the GC/SC (retiree/beach bum land), the Central Coast (retiree/coal land) and FNQ (tourism/rainforest land). Then of course the interior has always been safe LNP.

3) While I'm loath to use state elections as a barometer, ON have a history of flaming out, and their performance in 2020 was pathetic. I don't expect their performance in 2022 to be as good as in 2019, nor do I expect their preferences to favour the LNP nearly as much (no Adani, their voting base skews towards older people who are very vulnerable to COVID).
