75% of voters predict coalition victory

[nero_bolt]

THREE-QUARTERS of Australians believe a coalition victory is imminent on Saturday, the latest ReachTEL poll has found.

The poll, conducted by automated phone survey of 3853 voters on Tuesday night, shows the coalition maintaining an election-winning 52-48 two-party preferred vote over Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's struggling Labor team.

The poll found a whopping 74.2 per cent of voters, including almost half those voting Labor, believed the coalition will win.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is ahead of Mr Rudd as preferred PM, with 52.9 per cent saying he would do a better job.

On primary votes, Labor stands on 35.3 per cent (down 0.4), Liberals 41.3 (down 1.9), The Nationals 2.9 (down 0.4), Greens 9.7 (down 0.4) and the Katter Australian Party 0.9 per cent (down 0.4).

Businessman Clive Palmer appears to have made an impression, with support for his Palmer United Party up two points to 4.4 per cent.

Donna, I feel sure that Julie Bishop will outclass any thing that the incoming opposition has to offer

If she retains her portfolio of course.

She is not just a pretty face you know 😉

I don't like her at all poddy, and she needs a new hairstyle and makeup artist.

She keeps herself in good shape physically - I will give her that

It's dreadful isn't it poddy? To imagine the embarrassing comments he will make on a global level, we will be the laughing stock of the world!

Dumb Aussie will be a popular phrase yet again.

OOHH yea miss i cant mention your name for fear of being...

now lets see... RUDD and "the Chinese are RAT **bleep**ers...."

and this massive one

After the call, on the evening of Friday, October 10, Mr Rudd reportedly told guests he had insisted to Mr Bush that the G-20 was the appropriate vehicle to co-ordinate a response to the ongoing crisis affecting world markets.

“What’s the G-20?’’ Mr Bush reportedly replied.

That remark, and the notion Mr Bush had not already been considering the G-20’s role have been denied by a US national security official who monitored the 30-minute conversation.

Senior diplomats at the highest levels of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) have confirmed to The Sunday Telegraph that Mr Rudd’s indiscretions have put at risk Australia’s alliance with the US.

“Gobsmacked’’ was the way one senior diplomat described the reaction of colleagues in Washington to the story in The Weekend Australian (which ran Rudd’s leaked account).

“Our people in DC spend a lot of time building up confidence levels about the exchange of information which, by its very nature, must be confidential,’’ the senior DFAT official told The Sunday Telegraph.

“The view in DC is that as a result of that article, a lot of hard work done over a very long time has now been impacted adversely.

“From the point of view of other countries, the view will now have to be that their leaders will have to be much more guarded in their dealings with Kevin Rudd.’’

Milne’s account has Rudd returning to the dinner table after taking Bush’s call to (falsely) announce that Bush had had no idea what the G20 was. The guests included The Australian’s editor-in-chief Chris Mitchell. Just guessing, but I’d say Rudd was trying to big note to an influential media boss over a nice dinner.

THE sight of 100 ambassadors waiting in line outside the Lodge to be greeted by new PM Kevin Rudd has been described as "daft and embarrassing" for Australia.

Absolutely fair comment, I wish Julia could have stayed.

There are the same problems in the LNP though, once a politician always a politician

I'm coming to Perth Joz - where are you taking me?

Donna, do you really think that a hairstyle and lavish makeup enhance logic and ability to address a situation in a logical manner?
