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.

now the greens are giving gay marriage a rest its voting at 16... Roll Eyes

Wow, one poll and the Lib fanbois are exploding with joy, which shows just how worried they have been by the bad polls. Even so, 51:49 is not huge. It may encourage Hokey to be even fiercer with his Budget and that will have very bad consequences for the economy.

Shorten is doing alright, he is working hard but it is hard for a Labor LOTO to get much airtime with Murdoch owning 72% of newspapers—just watch how the rightarded always give the Daily Terror as a source (including in this thread) and Murdoch just about owns Ch 10 as well as 50% of Foxtel.

Geez, matty, after being MIA for most of the past two months with all the bad polling for the government, you're all over this rogue poll like a five-dollar hooker.

Excuse me, Matty charges much more for his services than Longy, Cods, Armchair and Maqqa.

As a specialist, he'll be on at least $180,000.

I don't buy into the whole Left v Right crap cods.
I have my own opinions and no side to cheer for.

If "Left" people are focused on polls at this stage then they too are a bunch of idiots.

Polling at this stage means absolutely nothing when the Government is not in minority.

I think not.

politics is like reality TV nowadays.

picture all politicians as if they were members of the big brother house.
who gets voted out first by the public?
those with no presonality.
the landscape is littered with these types,

peacock, crean, brendan nelson, beeazley, that green leader who signed off on the gst (forget her name..she 's so forgettable)
shortens just like them
they lack the 'wow" factor
they should have 'loser ' stamped on their forehead.
they are beige.

campbell kicking bikies.
morrison kicking indo's .
thats what the public want to see

It was Abbott's "WOW!-factor" budgie-smugglers that got him across the line at the last election.

Perhaps Shorten should go one better and allow himself to be seen swanning around in a tight pair of lorikeet-smugglers before the next election.

Don’t read too much into one poll, Sprinty. Polls are interesting but use tiny samples, from 400 (useless) to 1–2K, better but still a lot of variance.

I agree, Herbie. I think he should wear those nappies the old boy uses to collect his lunch.

Delicious!
