Better economic management my ass. Unless record corporate profits & fu** everything else is the goal. Which I suppose it is for them.

Zombie Doctrine: belief in Coalition as "super economic managers" sticks, despite proof otherwise - Michael West

The Coalition's claim to be "superior economic managers" is directly counter to 10 years of performance data. Australia has slumped against its peers

Don’t expect the dying msm to pick this up.

When the biggest flow on effect for the average Aussie is going to be higher fuel prices I'm not so sure about that.

By now should be long Woodside and Santos to balance it out bro!

He’s not getting back in. Opposition parties haven’t even fired a shot and they’ve got enough to fill every piece of Tassie. He’ll cop it from every side come April. It’s going to be a blitzkrieg like we’ve never seen before. Nothing will save the two faced lying pig.

2019 taught me that nightmares can come true but I am cautiously optimistic that Australia is about to see the end of schittehouse government.

There was actually a segment on Would I Lie To You about Madonna’s toilet seat having to be replaced each night for fear of people selling it. I don’t remember if it was true or a lie.

So there's a good chance you are spreading lies again?

Thank you for your usual useful contribution.

Except the voters kicked Menzies out and asked John Curtin to fix things

Similar thing will need to happen once Scotty crosses a few more 'piss countries off' on the bingo chart.

My concern in this regard is Albo.

He won't conduct a 2019-style campaign, and he won't make many obvious mistakes, but does he have the personality to really grab ScoMo by the throat when it's most needed? Like when talking about the people who've died to OMICRON due to ScoMo's negligence. I know debates aren't widely watched anymore, but he could also go for the throat via a powerful, stirring YouTube or TV ad.

Does he have that in him? He's shown signs of it, but can he bring it to bear often enough?

TBH, I wonder if markets have already priced an increase in Ukraine tensions to a certain extent?

Woodside and Santos haven't moved much in response to today's events.

If I was Scomo, I’d be hoping like hell that Albo went all in on Covid. It’s the only thing that can save him.

I stayed at the same game lodge in Zim as HM and Phil the Greek did, there was a plaque outside the rondavel they stayed in but they brought their own toilet seat. They said that whether they did was a frequently asked question there.

Last time oil was $90+ I'd say that Woodside was around $40, yet is still trading below $30 atm. Stuff like ESG concerns doesn't help I guess.

Rich bastard. I only stayed in a camp park and got in a fight with a baboon.

True story.

People said similar things about Howard against Keating.

 

[DaRick]

What, because of the 'world standards' argument? Or their relatively competent management of it back in 2020? Or do you think that people would be repulsed by political parties making political capital over people's deaths? It is a morally and ethically questionable thing to do, but in the context of punishing a government for their incompetent handling of spreading OMICRON, it would tug a few heartstrings and increase government anger.

Besides, there's a difference between COVID & OMICRON. I specficially alluded to the latter.

Albo won't go all in on COVID, but I'd be bemused if he never mentioned it. He's more likely to reinforce negative perceptions of ScoMo in the electorate as an untrustworthy individual by showing ScoMo telling porky pies over and over again. Also, him calling Adelaide a "shit city" for Boothby/Sturt residents.

And people knew exactly where howard was coming from

It’s the point of that’s when politics changed. The full on berate like Keating used to do is from a bygone era. It’s way better to just make your point. Latham tried that old school hand shake & No1 liked it. Morrison tried it in QT the other week and it looked rediculous. Society has changed, it’s never going back to the full on rant.

If you think there’s votes in Morrison’s handling of Omicron you are delusional. Morrison probably won’t win, but it won’t be due to any failure to stop Omicron.

 

[DaRick]

No doubt, but the situation now is far more volatile than it was back then. By 1995/96, people were just sick of a very unpopular PM and Howard just decided to give him nothing to attack.

Albo is doing similar to ScoMo, but ScoMo is not quite as unpopular as Keating was. Making things harder for ScoMo is how his unpopularity is seemingly baked in, and oil/petrol prices are still a nuisance and will remain so for a little while. However, the economic and pandemic situation have broadly improved in recent times, and should a consumption-driven boom occur by May, it becomes a closer race despite ScoMo dragging down the LNP vote, especially since 1) the perception that the LNP are better economic managers hasn't fully disappeared, and so voters might think that they're best equipped to manage this boom and 2) the ALP are less likely to achieve enough swings in the right seats to form government.

If you think there’s votes in Morrison’s handling of Omicron you are delusional. Morrison probably won’t win, but it won’t be due to any failure to stop Omicron.

Why not? I understand that voters have short memories, but ScoMo effectively exposed retirees to the plague. That's not something that happens every day, and that's not easily forgotten.

Many of those retirees will forgive ScoMo in the meantime, especially with his China-baiting and ON-aping, but some won't.'

What do you think will decide the election? I think it's the status of the economy (including inflation/oil prices) + pandemic + the ALP's campaign + ScoMo's screwups, or lack thereof.

What about Abbott? Going for the throat worked wonders for him.

Granted, that was a decade ago, and he was helped greatly by Rudd & Gillard being at each other's throats during that time, but still...
