Worth mentioning:

Quote:

On a two-party-preferred basis, the Coalition now leads the ALP by four percentage points - 52 per cent to 48, according to the allocation of preferences at the last election. However, that gap narrowed to 51/49 when voters were specifically asked who would get their second preference.

doesnt surprise. we have heard nothing from shorten on any issue. We may as well have dickie knee as opposition leader.

this is what I was saying a week or two back... Shorten has done a disappearing act...

but lately he's been back mouthing off sticking up for militant Unions and not wanting investigations into corruption....

what's he hiding?

it was said around 12 months back, if fact, it was an argument to go back with Rudd as leader, when Labor was crapping itself about the Royal commission into corruption with Labor and the Unions... that if the Liberals win and get the investigation off the ground then a lot of them would be stuffed....

its still early days though and Tony is still kicking goals one after the other....

the next few budgets are going to have to be tough after the Labor/Green coalition left us in massive debt... people wont like paying back the good times and handouts...

but hey, they voted for the worst government in Australia's history... they've no one to blame but themselves...

Not only have we heard little from Electricity Bill, what we have heard has been negative or simply blocking government policy for the sake of being in Opposition and saying no. Why so negative, Mr Shorten?

Only 23% of voters oppose the corruption Royal Commission into the unions!!! Most likely, that 23% minority consists solely of hardcore militant unionists with much to lose in the Royal Commission and the most rusted-on Labor supporters.

More likely it's the 23% who still have some sense of right and wrong.

Under this scum, being in a union is more important than it has been for many years.

You're getting more frustrated by the day as Abbott is PM for longer, aren't you? At this rate, you'll be catatonic in a few months time! Grin

Sorry, but no.

I didn't vote for the neo-fascist Con-alition (which ARE without a doubt our worst
government EVER, despite the delusions of the fools who voted for them).

BILL Shorten’s union leader past may be counting against him, with his personal approval slumping and the coalition regaining the lead in a new poll.

The coalition leads the ALP 52-48 on a two-party preferred basis in the poll published on Monday, the first time it has led the opposition in two months.

The gap narrows to 51-49 when second preference votes are taken into account in the poll published on the Sydney Morning Herald’s website.

With Prime Minister Tony Abbott having announced the terms of reference for a royal commission into union corruption, voters may be increasingly wary of the opposition leader’s past as head of the Australian Workers’ Union.

The AWU was one of five unions named by Mr Abbott when announcing the commission last week.

Only 23 per cent of voters oppose the union inquiry and Mr Shorten’s personal approval has slumped by 11 points.

The prime minister now holds a 10-point lead over Mr Shorten as voters’ preferred leader, 49 per cent to 39.

The poll surveyed 1400 electors between Thursday and Saturday.

didnt see where the greens are 12% though...anyone got that?

Reply #29 - Feb 17^th, 2014 at 8:03am Discussing polls at this stage of the term, when a Government has a locked sure majority is about as relevant and sensible as discussing the Polish elections. When a Government is teetering and a minority like last time I get it, but now it's just idiotic.
