If there were a significant portion then it wouldnt be any partys policy. Its lazy thinking to assume otherwise

Labor have done the numbers and they must feel there isnt going to be any major voting backlash
ALP probably assumed because of the LNP turmoil.they would be able to continue up with great sounding but flawed policies without any real scrutiny.

The Labor Party has removed mention of leader Bill Shorten from campaign material especially in marginal seats because of his poor rating among voters, The Australian reports.
There is no mention of him or even a photograph in the letters, flyers and postal voting applications distributed in nine Queensland seats, including Capricornia, Petrie, Dickson, Dawson, Bonner, Brisbane, Lilley or Moreton.

He is also not mentioned in some material used in deputy leader Tanya Plibersek's seat in Sydney, or in Barton or Griffith in NSW.

27 electorates and counting

Thats incorrect and you know it. The policy has been out for 18 months? The real LNP turmoil came after the policy release

That article provides no evidence
I think the big difference is that they still show 'Labor' party, not blank like the photos of Liberal candidates.

Further, I don't see Morrison in any of the photos of many Liberal candidates either.

Seems they are distancing themselves from Morrison and the party.:)


Won't help those that vote for a party.

Of course not shake the sand out of your ears as you stand upright
There is literally nothing in that article that would count as evidence. The article refers to what the Australian reports without actually citing the Australian directly or providing a link. It then claims there is no mention of Bill Shorten in a bunch of materials, but provides no pictures of any of these materials or any links. Then in its last three paragraphs it brings up one irrelevant fact, a "he said" sort-of quote, and then six actual words from ScoMo without any context.

Good to see Bill Shorten's decisive indecision on Adani. NQ ALP candidates pushing it, ALP city candidates opposed and Shorten saying he wont say till after election. Pretty clear if you.oppose Adani you have to vote Green and if you want it vote LNP as Shorten cant be trusted

Libs have the same wedge happening. Melbourne Libs don't want it, Qld LNP are desperate for it to happen.
