They usually say: "The polls always tighten closer to the actual election" ... what happens when the polls are already 50-50 6 months out?

Could be. Labor might want to avoid doing another Budget.

At State level, due to the backblast from the Voice By Stealth, which has not gone unnoticed despite the relative media silence over it - most people commenting on anything related to it are boiling mad and lusting for vengeance over a government that went directly against their wishes - Labor will suffer like they did in the NT - again, jeez - look at the Opposition...  FFS.. what have we got that's any good for this country?

In NSW I don't even know who the Opposition leader is.... I heard someone say it was another Dago named Fuktifino or something... Jesus, them Dagoes know where the easy money is.

Country's in dire straits - divided against itself as never before - all the good will that went to the Cheers following Ruddski's groveling apology has vanished now given their hostility and endless demands without merit - and Albo's voice farce put an end to it.  Slowly but surely people are waking up and are standing their ground...  they said NO once - they'll do it again, and again, and they will not be silenced this time by abuse or violence or threats.

The teals will be interesting to watch.

They are going full tilt in Duddos  electorate and I predict on the back of their vote Duddo will retain his seat.

Labor would be upset! They could easily upset the Lnp and take the seat otherwise.

We need more people to stand as True Independents.... not allied or associated with any party.... and prepared to put their full platform up for scrutiny....

When elected - my government will:-

.Immediately ban all 'gender transition' treatments for minors apart from psychiatric care.
.Re-open all National Parks and Public Lands to all equally - National Parks are in use as National Parks on a permanent basis, and Public Land is Public Land - not something to be handed to a private group without full and proper process as pertains to all equally.
.Drain the swamps of public service organisations and 'commissions' and make them lean and mean and keen, with special focus on those that support division by advocating for only one or a few groups, and not all equally.
.Abandon and revoke all 'treaties' signed with our own citizens, and resume all lands given unreasonably, reverting their holding instead into blocks of land for each family to live on or sell if they wish, determined on merit alone.
.Legally preclude the states from playing with 'treaties'.
.Will institute a 'reverse boat people policy', wherein malefactors of all kinds who show no sign of changing their ways will be placed on 'boat people' boats and transported back to the country of the 'people smuggler'.
.Will offer onshore processing of refugees, a fair opportunity to learn a useful skill while being processed, and then settlement here for those validated.
.Will develop a reasonable and reasoned immigration program, and will take a firm stand on excluding those who will not fit in without trouble.
.Will develop a program to deport those born here who persist in adhering to the wrongful kinds of 'traditions' of their 'old country' to the detriment of this country.
.Will develop a Provisional Citizenship system, wherein a person must show assimilation, working towards self-sufficiency, and respect for the law of this land and of those in it, or have citizenship revoked.
.Will formulate policy that those who state they are not citizens of this country and bound by the same rules as everyone else, will have their citizenship canceled, will be obliged to apply for visas on merit, and will receive no benefits of citizenship.

Just a one page simple request.... you understand..... a statement from the heart ..... simple really.... we haven't got to the re-education camps yet.... round up The Usual Suspects.... clean out the tent cities of Gaza Luvvahs etc and send 'em for an indeterminate period of re-education... when their minds are right they get out.... on parole...

Will US elections results influence Australian elections and if so which way?

I suspect not but have not been following closely. I would say a slightly lower probability than someone peeling the potato. If the Liberals only had a person fit to lead potato head would be chips.

If there were thoughts of someone making a move on Albo ... I'm guessing it won't be Richard Marles!   

Top Marles staffer claims she was ‘bullied’ out of job

In an emotional press conference, Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles’s chief of staff Jo Tarnawsky has appealed to Anthony Albanese to intervene, alleging she was bullied, pushed aside and prevented from doing her job for the past five months.
