Bill Shorten is beginning to look a lot like John Hewson and “may not be ready for the prime time”, according to Herald Sun commentator Terry McCrann.

The first week of the election campaign hasn’t gone well for the Labor leader.

On Tuesday, he ‘forgot’ about $34 billion of new taxes he has announced on superannuation.

His attempt to backtrack yesterday wasn’t well received.

Shorten was absolutely correct in his statement when he said there would be no "new" taxes, what he should have clarified was by adding "other than those we announced in our policy 6 months ago"
Murdoch and the IPA will attempt to twist things to limit the inevitable slaughter they know they are facing....it won't help, people stopped listening after they knifed Turnbull

This is interesting. I presume it may be a result of so many young people registering at the time of the plebiscite?

Can only speak for myself, but it was definitely the case for me and most of my peers.

With candidates like that you really should not form government,it has not been a good campaign so far for the labor party and they need to get on the front foot. They should be focusing on aspects of the water buy back scheme and just who did get the money in the Caymen islands and also talking about the Liberal reticence for a royal commission into banking and we have seen the reason why when it got under way.Also the labor party needs to focus on stability and why so many Liberals are deserting at this next election these are the sorts of things labor should be talking about.Australia never seems to trust the labor party on fiscal policy yet Keating ran rings around Howard and Costello and would have done the same to Morrison and Frydenberg.Shorten needs to get on the front foot and fast momentum is everything and he needs some asap.

I thought all you had to do was show up and get your name marked off and then do what you want with the Paper

Yes that is right but why not vote at the same time?

I enjoy marking the ballot paper and seeing who I can put last. It is a big decision for me.

Because no one is worth Voting for but IF Pirate Party is on the Ballot then I give them a Vote.

Greens are normally on Bottom of my List but might go to Clive Palmers Party this time

 

[Bad Horse]

I need to start a horse party. Carrots for all, money for hay infrastructure, rocket launchers distributed to all over 16s for use against the pony menace, and a dedicated tv channel for horse themed programming.

I cant be worse than Clive Palmer.

Dave, please look very very carefully before voting Clive.
Palmer is not a man who supports social services. Or schemes like the NDIS.
It’s your vote, and you can do what you like with it. But you need to know your choices can and will impact your life.

And yet the Greens would provide people like you with far greater assistance than the other 2 major parties combined

Just as an aside, do you ever read the policies of the parties?

Oh the irony...
"Shorten was much better that previously but still way too light on real deatil and way to thick on emotion and raising and lowering his voice. For someone who's mother is a teacher his use of "wevva' and the like instead of 'weather' is just annoying and low class... Morrison had the detail and broader effects down pat but I wonder how many people really care for detail. Morrison also missed a lot of chances to dispute Shortens claims on franking credits being a 'gift' paid for by other taxpayers.. not a bad debate, Bill Shorten shouldn't be too happy, the 2% margin was far too small for an opposition leader."
