I'm more than happy to be proven wrong and will gladly admit I'm wrong if the ALP are elected.

I have no faith in the general public to have been paying attention for the past 3 years and when it gets to the ballot box people's self interest will kick in and they'll vote for the LNP as they believe the better economic managers myth.
Not that it has much relevance but the current market odds to form government are

Labor Majority $1.85 - 54%
Labor Minority $4.50 - 22%
Liberal Maj. $5.00 - 20%
Liberal Min. $6.00 - 17%

Clearly this runs off polling and there was a late rush back to the Muppets last time but at this stage I’d suggest it is Labor’s election to lose and the only way they can do that is thru **** ups - small target 🎯 is the way to go
 
It’s hard to believe you’re an actual living breathing human being.

Ipsos:

Alp 57 (+2) - 43 LNP (-2)

LNP primary at 29% which I personally fail to believe. It is the widest result in a while though

Newspoll coming out during the debate

Bath on 10 news said Newspoll was bad for ScoMo...have a feeling that the media smashing Albo is pushing voters toward him.

Australia is about a fair go and voters can see he's not getting it from MSM.

If the Newspoll gap widens to 54-46 or worse for the LNP, it’ll be really interesting to see if specific ‘moderate’ members start to throw him under the bus in an attempt to save themselves.
 
Yeah i did and I'm sick of people blaming all of Labor's issuss on the media
Its literally the constant excuse for ******* everything
Without a biased supporting media the LNP would be a 2% chance at the next election.

By any measure Morrison’s government is one of the worst governments ever - but that is not even close to the media narrative
 
Elections are personal choice at the end of the day, why would I vote for Labor when they've offered nothing ?
I certainly wouldn't vote for a party with a leader like "Albo".
I'm glad about that. It means he doesn't need to worry about the likes of you when governing.
That's got to be a good thing.

Hasn’t he already sidelined most other than that **** stick “Brother Stuart” Robert? - let’s face it we are not dealing in oodles of talent, Frydenberg appears to be in lots of shit and they could be left with Dutton or my MP “Dickhead Dan”, we are talking about a bowl of low hanging fruit

Yeah there’s very few who want to have a profile during this campaign and it’s understandable for a number of reasons.

I more meant backbenchers trying to save their skin in their own seats but let’s be honest, it’s probably already happening.
 
It really isn't. The proposition that the media is the problem is completely unrelated to the whether Labor are (or aren't) perfect. No party is perfect... I suspect even the most rusted-on supporter would accept that.
The media is the problem is never mentioned as being unrelated to Labor's situation, it's always mentioned as the cause of Labor's situation

See... you even acknowledge it yourself. The media can be a problem AND Labor could be doing better.
yes, and my issue is that when people say Labor could be doing better, but the media gets rolled out
However, the Liberals could also be doing better. A lot, LOT better. I'm trying really, really hard to be objective here, but from what I can see;

1. They've screwed up on climate change, leading to the rise of Teal independents, putting in doubt some of their safest seats
and Labor has not offered a real alternative either
2. They messed up on the pandemic -- made significant mistakes on the vaccine rollout, did nothing on quarantine, screwed up on age care and blew billions of dollars on a poorly managed Jobkeeper scheme
and Labor voted with them to protect JobKeeper from scrutiny

3. They have a track record of speeding billions of dollars in pork-barrelling
nobody is disagreeing with this at all

4. Refused to implement a proper anti-corruption commission and have actively sought to cover up improper behaviour of MPs
yes and ALP saying they will do something about that is good

5. Oversaw an economy with rampant inflation, stagnant wage growth, out-of-control housing and now... increasing interest rates.
because of ideology as much as anything, and lets be honest a lot of that ideology economically has bipartisan support though the myth of coalition good labor bad continues

6. They also have a leader that appears to be universally disliked, even within the ranks of his own party. It's even at the point where he openly accepts he's not liked and is begging for people to vote for him anyway
yes and while Albo has him there with some voters, with others he's no better, its really a battle of middle aged white men, there's nothing inspiring there at all

7. They've run a campaign that mostly consists of highly controlled, staged media stunts involving Morrison visiting shopping centres, or pubs, posing for publicity shots and pretending to be a "normal Australian guy"
yes, they aren't trying to run a campaign like its 20 years ago

... and yet the majority of the mainstream media still fawns over Morrison, with vomit-inducing puff-pieces.
because the media wants sound bites and photos and stories, they may claim to want policy discussion but they don't

Yes, Labor have made mistakes. But the ledger doesn't look square to me.
it's not square but it was never going to be square and Labor aren't playing smart in my view

Yeah / Nah

Re: The Greens 🥬 I think you would find that most people that identify as left voters would actually sit closer to green territory than ALP territory if they did the Vote Compass thingy. But outside of dedicated Greens Voters they are a minority party because their views are considered / portrayed as “extreme”
by both majors, ON and UAP, as well as sections of the media, kind of like they don't want the only party that doesn't take corporate donations to have a say......

and they just roll out Lidia Thorpe and bingo!
Lidia Thorpe is the best thing about the greens, not sure its so much that she gets rolled out as that she gets focussed on because she's an outspoken black woman

No guesses for who leads that. But let’s totally ignore the ideological fools like Christensen, Abetz or the good family men like the Beetrooter, Tudge, Porter and co. Elections are won by the swinging voters who sit in the middle. Want to lose votes? Throw your hat in with the extremist nutters and watch your vote fall. It’s classic reactionary/ negative stereotyping but the average punter is a dumb campaigner who doesn’t think too much about it and follows along.
maybe its time to stop giving the swing voters a pass and start blaming them for the state of the country along with the openly conservative voters

I’m totally against the way this election is being played, but it’s being played the safest way for the ALP, at least they have learnt from the last election where they actually had a go and putting up a few policies allowing the Marketer to run a negative campaign.
I don't think the learned the right lessons from the last campaign, the first lesson they should have learned is that the coalition doesn't need the ALP to announce a policy for them to create one to attack

Morrison is totally ******* useless, his cabinet is/was full of some of the most disappointing humans ever to hold public office. In any other time most of them would have been hounded out of politics due the scandals and fu** ups, but now here it’s “play on”.
It's going to take a pretty big shift from here for this to not be the norm, we're too apathetic and passive as citizens

I haven’t mentioned the media.
excellent

You can vote for who you like, no one says otherwise just admit that the status quo you’ll be voting for benefits you and only you. If you’re gonna be that guy at least own it.

It would have to take something monumental for me to vote Labor, starting with a better leader. As well as better policy platforms.
I've already said that I'm voting for my own self interests :)
 
Lil Josh looks so deflated. Maybe he's given up?!
Out of the three pin dicks Josho, Scotty, and Dutto, Josh is my favourite.

Comparatively. They're all pudding heads.
 
Why doesn’t anyone ever talk about this? All on Morrison’s watch

Greg Jericho in The Guardian was constantly talking about the per capita recession prior to the pandemic, but the Liberal Party cheerleaders in the rest of the media either didn't mention it or said "nah, only overall recessions count, not per capita recessions" and played it off like it was no big deal.
