Sorry if you felt singled out Iza. Perhaps I was a bit abrupt.

Short answer, yes. I would apply it to anyone who wanted to debate a single one of those issues on this thread, which is really about the the Labor Party.

It looked like we were getting sidelined on a discussion on teen alcoholism, which is fine by me, but out of respect for the OP, I would prefer to discuss it on a separate thread dedicated to that issue.

It's all relative in as much as these are all indicators of how a Government is really doing.I don't know that I'd say that people posting one or two posts on an issue raised during the discussion as has been done here is debating any one single issue .

Thank you for the apology 🙂

They could lose up to 30 seats.  The most worrying thing for Labor is that the polls have been down for the last 27polls, meaning, this is not an anomaly it is a trend & looks like staying that way.

The only thing that might save some of the furniture is for Gillard to leave the country until the election is over, she always does so much better then :^O
