Insiders speculating the election could be 25th May or even later on 1st June

May 18th is the last day they can hold an election for both houses, specifically the Senate. The HoR can go longer, but the election for the Senate has to be held by that date.

Even Bozo isn't dumb enough to make Australians go to the polls twice, within months, for twin Federal elections. The backlash from that would be massive.

Is it that they're liking the policies, (which I don't. But that's my self interest at play).
Or that they are so thoroughly sick and tired with what's being served up by the current Government?
I'm thinking the latter, with absolutely nothing to back it up.

Ever since John Hewson self-immolated, small-target opposition campaigns are the norm. When you have a government in a death-spiral, don’t give them an opportunity to pull out of it.

There was an interesting piece on Insiders suggesting the recent hacks may unearth dirt prior to the election.

No mention of if it was China or Russia,could be the US could be Murdoch (he has done it before too) or someone who will feed Wiki Leaks
Time will tell

Would've been so much better if someone threw a brown onion though when he was walking off

It is pretty damning on both sides of politics, the public service and the media that an organisation moving out of Canberra gets endless stories but the hundreds of government jobs relocated to Canberra every year costing jobs in regional areas, costing millions, and reducing services never even rates a mention.

Sky news appealing to the socialists

I know National Press Club addresses are never the greatest viewing but jeez Scomo is really ****ing awful today. Randomly bringing up terrorism every 10 minutes, still crowing 'stop the boats', ignoring questions and just bashing the opposition instead. Same fear mongering bullshit that Guy pushed in the Victorian election.

Dead man walking.

Per the Guardian blog.

Question:


On the substantive point and Phil’s question, if Bob Katter votes against the Government on this, does it extinguish the water funding meal?


Morrison:


Too many “ifs” in the question so I don’t intend to entertain it.

If you're going to be an arrogant campaigner at least make sure you can walk the walk as well. This guy is a f***ing proven failure at everything he turns his hand to.

And then the question was asked AGAIN and he wheeled out the same response. Pathetic.

Wait what the actual ****, Tim Shaw has gone from selling cheap shitty Demtel products to being a stooge mouthpiece for 2GB masquerading as a journalist.

Which questions was he ignoring? I am pretty sure from what I heard he was answering them.

Also are you telling me that Shorten wouldn't have been attacking the Coalition or fearmongering about what the coalition would do if reelected or putting forward their policies or position at any opportunity possibl? In fact I am certain this is what he did the last time he was on there.

You sure you're watching the same thing that the rest of us right now? An example happening right now. Instead of addressing the question about climate change having a roll on effect to national disasters and crisis management with the need to increase funding to address this, he's gone back to emission targets and talking about a ****ing aluminium smelter being closed under Labor.

It was utter waffle from go to whoa.

I stopped listening 10-15 minute ago when I got home but prior to that he seemed to be answering q

Oh please.

There were hostile questions being thrown left, right and centre.

He didn't get baited into answering cunningly worded questions just to make a headline.

Couldn't watch him, makes me change channel but the full response in the Guardian is puke worthy.
The Guardian's report on this is really a must read, questions answered with waffle is correct. He is PM for goodness sake and should at least attempt to answer the questions put to him.

Check this one:

Question:
Could I ask you about a factual matter? You and your ministers repeatedly say and you said again today, that Labor did nothing on financial reform, and yet, Labor did pass FOFO legislation, which the Coalition sought to unravel. Can you say what it is there, but it doesn’t seem to square with what happened.

Morrison:
I must have found their performance underwhelming, and I still find their performance very underwhelming and I still find it underwhelming, but what I want to do now is look at what they’re going to do to mortgage brokers.
I was puzzled by Labor’s response to the royal commission when they said, “We’ll agree to all of the recommendations before we’ve seen them.”
Reminds me of Bill Shorten’s famous interview with David Speers agreeing with everything that Julia Gillard said before she said it or heard it. I think that that was unwise for the Labor party to do.
I think, I commend the royal commission for the outstanding work that they do. But they wouldn’t expect a government to just sight unseen all of the recommendations.
I never understood them doing that. And now they find themselves boxed in. We have the Productivity Commission report on mortgage brokers which basically says – if you start turning that industry on its head, you just hand the power back to the banks.
Now, I don’t see how that achieve our objective, and that’s why we’ve been extremely cautious on that point, and that’s why I’m not surprised that mortgage brokers are very angry with the Labor party.
I mean, these are tens of thousands of small and family businesses that help mums and dads get a good deal on their mortgage and so they don’t have to just face the banks themselves. It’s pretty important service. We want to make sure that Australians can still have access to that service. Now, what Bill Shorten is going to do, who knows. He still hasn’t responded to the royal commission report.
(Labor has said it agrees, in-principle, with all the banking royal commission recommendations)

I watched it for a bit, and he ignored all the questions that I saw and just waffled on answering nothing. Just because he was making noises with his mouth doesn't mean he was answering questions.

Just because he give answers you don't like doesn't mean he wasn't answering questions either.

 

[Donakebab]

There is a difference between giving a response and answering a question.
