I do not think that the focus on national security and the ABC’s Q&A program has been good for the government. According to ReachTEL, the Coalition only leads Labor by 52.6-47.4 on national security - a weak result for the Coalition given all the attention they have devoted to this issue. The electorate may think that the Coalition has gone over the top on national security, or Labor’s bipartisanship could have convinced many that Labor would do a reasonable job. ReachTEL used a forced choice wording on national security; polls with an undecided option would probably have the Coalition further ahead.

On the ABC, last week’s Essential, taken before Zaky Mallah’s Q&A appearance, found that 63% had at least some trust in ABC TV, and 58% in ABC radio. While these trust numbers are down 4-6 points on November 2014, the ABC still has more trust than the News Ltd publications as reported in this week’s Essential.

A question on political commentators in the media found that 71% had at least some trust in Laurie Oakes, 51% in Tony Jones, 38% in Andrew Bolt and 29% in Alan Jones. Alan Jones and Bolt had high name recognition, with 80% recognising Jones and 65% Bolt, but low trust ratings.

In summary, it is likely that the Coalition would have benefited more from Labor’s problems over the last fortnight, but the Coalition’s anti-ABC rhetoric does not appeal to the general public.



EXPLANATION:
given the tendency of greens_lie to make up unrelated thread titles to his usually pointless threads, I thought I would do the same.

Would anyone else like to make up a totally false thread heading to greens_lose wont feel alone?

If the make stupidity a crime the whole party will be arrested.

They'll throw away the key!

Getting more like Maqqa every post......

Yeah, good on you Longweekend.
Give them some of their own medicine.

The Australian Greens have been , without a doubt, the most destructive force ever to enter australian politics.

Whereas the democrats did try to be people of principle, the greens and their 8 % idiotic supporters have done untold damage to this nation.

1 we would have had a workable ETS but for the greens
2 we would have had cheaper electricity and some sort of competitive advantage in manufacturing but for the greens.
3 the greens have been a disaster for the rural sector and the tourist sector (our only 2 growth sectors)
4 they have shot mining in the foot and ruined our international reputation as an energy exporter
5 they are responsible for the detention centre and boats fiasco.
6  they have taken the light off the important issues and focused it on non issues like gay marriage.


Its time for australia to wisen up and see them for the white ants they are.
They contribute nothing, do nothing, risk nothing, stand for nothing.

They will never change as they have zero emotional maturity and social intelligence.

Just awful people , have been a cancer in australian politics for too long
