THE ELECTION POLLS

[nero_bolt]

All in one place

The polls are not good for Labor

ReachTEL: 53-47 to Coalition   

http://www.reachtel.com.au/blog/7-news-national-poll-10august13  

Question 2: from reachtel

Which of the following do you think would make the better Prime Minister?

RUDD 46.8% Abbott 53.2

Galaxy 51-49

http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollbludger/2013/08/10/reachtel-53-47-to-coalition/

Nielsen: 52-48 to Coalition; Galaxy: 56-44 to Coalition in Queensland

http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollbludger/2013/08/09/nielsen-52-48-to-coalition-4/

and the betting odds are:

TAB                                   $1.22 Libs to $4.25 Labor

Sportsbet                          $1.19 Libs to $4.80 Labor

Sportingbet                       $1.14 libs to $5.75 Labor

Not looking good for the labor diehards and for labor.

The Rudd experiment is a failure just like the man

Hopefully, after the 2 interviews yesterday the gap between Abbott and Rudd would be closing.

So tell us Nero, where do you stand with Wilkie and Xenophon in regard to pokie reforms.  I only ask because you seem to have an extreme fixation on gambling odds.

Where is the correct info on Tony Abbott ? and why did the MSN leave so long a gap between telling us about what is going on ? So much garbage thrown around and printed  about Julia Gillard (who btw is resigning and not in this election)

Why are we now being told by one media source ,that being the Australian ,that David Ettridge legal action against Tony Abbott was dropped back in June ...only now as his his responses to Barnaby Joyce preferencing One Nation are published ? Why is a legal matter concerning Tony Abbott not considered to be in the public (the voting public)  interest . ...in all seriousness ...how can people not note and not care about us not knowing..we are voting soon...Tony abbott is in the running to be our PM.

Why do the recent reports vary ? The ABC haven't recently publish that it was dropped as The Australian did ...why ?

If it was settled back in June...why did Mr ego Tony Abbott not want to sing to us about it in the media AT THAT TIME and even now.Regardless why didn't/don't we know ? If the case was in fact dropped ....the questions that need to be asked and answered is why ..If it did get dropped back then was it not published because the 'why'  (any deals done etc ) is also one of those things Tony Abbott thinks the public (us) has no need to know....or could it just be a good thing to now say that it was dropped ?

nope...I tried hard..no voices or messages came into my head .Can you go back to the 'somewhere' you heard this and find out more ?

At the moment l argument centres around legal privilege relating to a lot of documents seized from Slater and Gordon which they do not want the Plod to read.

26 Aug 2013: "A JUDGE has ordered some of the documents seized by Victoria Police in the fraud squad investigation of the Australian Workers Union slush fund scandal to be returned to law firm Slater & Gordon."

Other than that:

"Victoria Police have confirmed they are “investigating a complaint regarding the alleged misappropriation of funds from a union” and have (properly) refused to make any further comment at this juncture."

Thank you Monman 

that's as I thought it was ...not as others are saying it is.

This is such an interesting read

Fancy digging that up, donna.

The end resule is that one of the Union Heavies sat back, twiddling is thumbs over the Rudd - Gillard - Rudd cerfuffle, and is now the leader of the opposition.

If Labor had a different leader, things would look entirely different. But, then again they are all the same. Different words for promises they never intent to keep.

Who's in at the moment and are they as bad that as the previous ones,and the ones before that and before

that?

Oh! hang on they are only about what they get out of it and  don't care about Aus,so they are all carp,(they

are slowly destroying this country and selling it to overseas interest and they don't care)

Had to Google to see who was the current taker:

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=leader+of+australia&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-ab&gfe_rd=...

I presume that we have to vote at some point so what day is that?

[lind9650]

Saturday 2nd July is voting day.

What makes me laugh is that all Prime Ministers are called HONOURABLE.

What a joke?
