It is only the presence of JS that stops you being the biggest twit on here. With Turnbull SKY-ROCKETING in the polls, the only jerk foolish enough to predict a labor win is you. And with Shorten no less - a man with less charisma that roadkill.

All you do is make yourself look increasingly foolish.  It is two months now - where is this honeymoon crash you predicted?

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has backed Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey's claim that the Coalition would be on track to deliver a budget surplus in the first year of taking office.
Earlier, Mr Abbott stopped short of guaranteeing a surplus in the Coalition’s first year, instead arguing the budget position would be ‘‘better’’ than under Labor.
A 50-page booklet launched by Mr Abbott at a campaign rally on Sunday commits the Coalition to ‘‘get the budget back under control’’ and ‘‘live within our means’’, but does not spell out a timeframe.
Mr Hockey told the National Press Club last year: ‘‘Based on the numbers presented last Tuesday night we will achieve a surplus in our first year in office and we will achieve a surplus for every year of our first term.’’

On Monday, Mr Hockey said he had not retreated from the pledge.
‘‘Our commitment is emphatic,’’ Mr Hockey told ABC Radio’s AM program.
‘‘Based on the numbers published today, we will deliver a surplus in our first year and every year after that.’’
But Mr Abbott did not guarantee a surplus in the first year when he appeared on morning television, saying the government had not revealed its new budget figures.
He said the government had withdrawn its repeated pledge to deliver a surplus in the 2012-13 financial year.
‘‘We’ve got to see their figures before we can tell you exactly what we’ll do but I tell you what . . . the fiscal position will always be better under the Coalition because budget surpluses and reducing debt, paying back debt, that’s in our DNA,(’’ Mr Abbott told the Seven Network.
At a media conference in Brisbane later on Monday, Mr Abbott said Mr Hockey's comments were right.
Mr Abbott added: ‘‘Based on the published figures we believe we can deliver surpluses in each year of the first term of a Coalition government and we expect the Labor party; we expect the incumbent government to publish new numbers as soon as possible.’’
Mr Hockey said the government would not reveal the budget's current state so until the pre-election fiscal outlook was released ''we do not know what the funding envelope is for our commitment''.
Finance Minister Penny Wong said the Coalition would have to make big cuts to fund its promises.
‘‘Well there are no positive plans for the future in Mr Abbott's latest glossy pamphlet. There's certainly no real solutions,’’ she told AM.
‘‘But there is one plan which is perfectly clear and that is he wants to hide the cuts he has to make to health and education until after the election.’’
Ms Wong said the Coalition would need to make ‘‘very savage’’ spending cuts to fund Mr Abbott’s desire to reverse the government’s changes to private health insurance, cut the company tax rate, and spend more on infrastructure.
