Labor in Australia has deteriorated from the blue collar working person's party to one for feminists, and gays.
Labor is only supported in the wider community by a thin margin so they gave to keep the tree huggers party (Greens)happy.
It just seems that Labor are so anti white males, that very few vote for them any more. Many non white males feel the same way.
Labor is feminised and adheres to the Swedish Feminist Insanity, which was even behind the DV laws foisted upon us in 1992-93 by the then Prime Minister, Paul Keating (you may ask if you wonder about that).
We all know where that filthy can of worms has gone! I'll tell you - in that year the NSW police were instructed to go out and 'get' as many men with these laws and other legal sanctions as they could - just to make sure that a few genuinely violent men were caught. In other words - they bombed the city centre to kill the rats in the sewer, and now wonder why they, the courts, the law and the politicians are a hated breed.
You have only to see the utterly stupid things they carry on about - women in combat (pushed by the then Minister for Defence - no soldier - a West Australian law professor of long-standing Labor and feminist views - does he actually care if your daughter is killed as long as they can make a statement?) - 40% representation in Labor in Parliament of women, with or without the will of the people - demand that business take on 50% women at the top regardless of their own considerations - continuing ongoing campaigns to push women's issues such as homelessness even when men vastly outnumber homeless women, lie campaigns about a mythical wage gap, and so on.
How much more ratbag Swedish socialist can you get? And that's not even mentioning the successful push in 1986 from labor personage Meredith Burgmann for changes to the school education system to favour girls (true), the taking over of the university student's unions by feminists including our illustrious current 'Prime Minister' Julia Gilliard, and the other rubbish they go on and on about.
And yet people, a declining number, mind you - think all is well in the rotting hulk of the good ship Labor.
As for the tree huggers - any party that wants to lower the voting age to 16 is insane. Not to be not tolerated, a repetition here of the Red Guards fiasco in china with Bob Brown's Green Guards taking the streets and 'struggling' those they take a set on.

This week’s Nielsen result prompts a startling shift to the Greens in the weekly poll aggregate, which in turn drives a solid move to Labor on two-party preferred.
Nielsen has this week thrown a spanner into the BludgerTrack works, producing a dramatic shift on the basis of a result that’s yet to be corroborated by anybody else. The big mover is of course the Greens, who have shot up five points to the giddy heights of 15.4%, a result I wouldn’t attach much credit to until it’s backed by more than one data point. Only a small share of the gain comes at the expense of Labor, who have accordingly made a strong gain on two-party preferred and are in majority government territory on the seat projection. A further point of interest with respect to the Nielsen poll is that the two-party preferred response on respondent-allocated preferences, which is not published by Fairfax, is at 54.5-45.5 considerably stronger for Labor than the headline result from previous election preferences. This may reflect a swelling in Greens support from the ranks of disaffected Labor identifiers, and a consequent increase in the Greens preference flow to Labor in comparison with the 2013 election result – which may in turn suggest the headline two-party result from the poll flattered the Coalition a little.

hence the panic -induced desperate scribblings by right wing hacks

Wow some hack really hates that a political party would take in the considerations of the Australian woman. I think blue collar worker must actually mean "male working class". At least gay people only get a passing mention from the poison pen....

now that i have finished laughing at the "article" in the op, I can't stop singing "On the Good Ship Lollypop" - changed the words slightly......
The LNP Ship
On the good ship
Lollipop
Its a sweet trip
To the very top
Where lobbyists play,
On the sunny beach
While the poor will pay
Red Wine stands,
Everywhere
Blue Tie bands,
Fill the air,
And there you are,
Happy landings on a Cadbury bar.
See the sugar bowl
Do a forgetful roll
In a big AWH devils food cake,
If you eat too much,
Oh, oh,
You'll awake,
With a ICAC ache.

"The rotting Hulk Of the Good Ship Labor"
I love that analogy!

its flawed. the figures (polling) clearly display the rot is sinking the other ship.
