Where The ALP Lost Its Longtime Supporters

icyfroth — Sun, 15 Sep 2013 02:20:13 GMT

LAST Saturday, in polling booths inside $14.2 billion worth of new school halls constructed under Labor's Building the Education Revolution program, a bare 33.9 per cent of Australian electors voted for Labor candidates.

So what went wrong for Labor?

These groups weren't so much voting for the Coalition as against their own party.

I think that about sums it up in a nut shell.

Not so much that the Liberals under Tony Abbott are perceived to be significantly more effective at governing, just that they are able to show a unified front and more stabililty and professianalism than the ALP with all it's bickering and backstabbing and infighting.

Look at them still bickering and attacking each other, even in defeat they can't regroup and put forward a leading representative.

That's why the libs don't agree with increasing education finding. It's preferable to keep their masses of supporters in lala economic ignorance land lol

You can see the full effect of falling education standards in the attitudes and voting of western queenslanders. Maybe, to ensure he's not "one term tony", they should shut down all schools for a while.

Culture wars II: why Abbott should leave the history curriculum alone

The approach by right-wing reformist politicians to history curricula follows a clear pattern. First, they express a need to return to a triumphalist view of the past that uncritically highlights the achievements of a free market economy, Western civilisation and Christianity. Second, we have a highly personalised view about what should be in and what should be out of the ideal history curriculum. Finally, there is a reliance for support on at least one major conservative media outlet or at least one neoconservative think tank to reinforce these ideas

You appear to have it in for the Queenslanders. Aren't there anti-vilification laws where you are?

Hi Ibis sad but that is all Labor supporters can do is spill out propaganda, they never mention how they are indoctrinating our children in school and university with their leftie rubbish.

It has nothing to do with vilification, meh. My comments were based on the results of vote compass, which recorded the political leanings of hundreds of thousands of Australians. The results showed the most right wing people come from western Queensland, where an amazing array of intolerant and uneducated views were displayed. I believe this correlates with falling education standards and cuts in that region.

Yes, Yes, Yes and double Yes, agree whole heartedly.

Just watch the Labor voters change this thread into something negitive about the LNP
