Labor's internal polling numbers
Aug 2^nd, 2012 at 6:18pm

au.news.yahoo.com/queensland/a/-/latest/14438455/leaked-polling-shows-labor-anni...

EXCLUSIVE: Julia Gillard's leadership has been rocked by her party's own polling, which reveals Labor would be wiped out in half the states and territories at a federal election.

The internal Labor polling, leaked to Seven News shows Labor would be left with no seats in Queensland, the Northern Territory, Tasmania or Western Australia.

The secret Government polling shows Labor's two-party preferred vote in Queensland has collapsed from 45 percent at the 2010 election, to just 36.

While in Tasmania, home to the bellwether seats of Bass and Braddon, it's plummeted 17 points to 44.

The results are even worse than previous polls and make confronting reading for the senior ministers, federal executive members and state secretaries on its distribution list.

These people will ultimately make the final call on Julia Gillard's leadership, and sources now say that decision might come in September.
There are three newspaper polls between now and then, and if they don't change the leadership might.

Labor must really be regretting their decision to agree to the Green's carbon tax now.

They thought that people would just forget about the lie, but public anger is still just as strong now, in fact, maybe even stronger, than it was when Julia broke her promise 17 months ago.

Not a single seat in any of Tas, Qld, WA and the NT - wow.

I don't know whether I see this as a good or bad thing. I do want Labor ut as much as anyone, but it wouldn't be too good having a virtual one-party state, as NSW and Qld presently do.

You mean to say they are only just catching up on what people have known 2 month out from the last election.

I'm just

PAST CARING

about the concrete boot wearing Australian electorate

I'm HAPPY, that the Australian Federal Government is ceasing

the welfare subsidy to Gina Rinehart and Clive Palmer, for private health insurance

( ... and ALL the members of their respective golf clubs) out of the limited HEALTH BUDGET

I'm glad

2

, that this government has not "buckled" in its resolve and idealism

( ... and what is TRUE and RIGHT)

over opinion polls

they will inherit a mess and well you know it if all this is true and it does happen.. in my mind it will be JOB loses..everywhere we go jobs are going..this govt had ploughed millions into the car industry and for what good.. seems like they did no forward thinking.as far as just last Jan they ploughed more in..telling us they were saving jobs.. what a lie a devastating lie to all those with the axe hanging over their heads and not much more for those that are still there they would all be thinking.. HOW LONG HAVE WE GOT..

your job may well be safe I dont know where you work.. but believe me its cruel what is happening in a country that we keep getting told is fantastic ahs the world best economy...over and over... yeah tell that to the families that have nowhere to turn..

I do not say Abbott will turn all that around but by golly the Libs didnt start this avalanche and its time some of you lefties began to admit that..

it wont be Abbotts gift it will be the remnants from the Labor Green alliance.

I dont recall the word RECESSION being used once when Howard was in.. then rudd and gillard did their level best to start one.. and well as you can see they achieved it..THANKS VERY MUCH.

it isnt so much the LIE about not having a TAX john.g.

its tha fact that people well some are waking up to the fact that it wont make one iota of difference to climate change.. and the fact that the rest of the world have turned off the whole idea...

islands havent sunk overnight.. our water systems havent dried up overnight like we have had drummed into us.

the world in general is cleaning itself up just through sheer economics.. and the brilliance of those that invent I think its called evolution..we find cleaner better hopefully cheaper ways of doing things.

we dont need to give govt more bloody TAX to throw away on uninvited boat people..or pay other nations to stop boat people when in fact they have no intentions of stopping boat people at all.. and never have done.

the people smuggling industry has got to be the fastest growing business this country has even had a finger in.

I agree about the one party State.. we have seen the results of a hung govt.. not good

TO MUCH POWER...dont believe in it..

It was going to happen. If it wasnt her then someone else would have done it. Its just another tax and whoever was in power would have renamed it and brought it in. We are still going to cop a big whack when the GST is put up too.

I trust if you really think like that... that whoever did decide to put it on was a little more honest about it.

the way this whole thing has been handled has put a lot of backs up.. we are not kids and we get sick of being taken for granted

and being lied to is not one of my favourite ways of getting the best out of me..

This is where you and a lot of climate confusionalists and Abbott huggers have it wrong,cods. The tax intentions are not to make a direct impact on climate change, besides being impossible ,to think that is naive beyond imagination. The intention of the tax is to make the big polluters that pay it change to cleaner greener energy options, it is using the big stick approach to dirty polluters, it is very simple , I,m not sure if you are genuine,and don't know, or if you are peddling a lie on purpose with your line this tax will not make a difference, no matter ,it's wrong
