[absorber]

Yeah this is going to be the shittest election ever. Abbott, ugh, no fuckin' way. Rudd sucked and Gillard sucks harder. It's like Satan v Hitler.

Nice.

[Omnidragon]

Hah that's so true. This is like some race to the bottom. Gillard vs Abbott - with Macklin (sp?) and Swan as deputies. What a joke this place has become.

A good battle would be

Libs: Costello/Turnbull
ALP: Rudd/Tanner/Faulkner

I think after yesterday, Australian politics has just reached new lows.

......not really about the hair so much as the fact that people are going to think "fuck, australias government cant even support itself and back its leader"

World News Australia - Mining tax Gillard's priority

I recommend watching the video.

I hope she loses.

 

[Deathless]

More like one.

Since Gillard came back, she's going to stop the sharing of the mining-profits. How gay. Just let the rich fat-cats take all the money...

 

[I Study Hard]

Deathless - Riight, because they shouldn't be allowed to keep so much of the profits that they earned...
Just because they're "rich" does not mean that the government has a right to take such a huge cut of their profits. Not only that but that tax would affect alot of people who were indirectly linked to mining (eg, people with super money invested in resources).

Summary of the first polls of the Gillard era from pollbludger:

In short, the voters who moved away from Rudd Labor to the Greens and minor parties have come back to the ALP. The Liberal primary vote hasnt moved much.

Gillard saves Labor (Nielsen)
Julia Gillard in poll position for August election | News.com.au (Galaxy)

Numerous pollsters, some previously unknown, have swung quickly into action to record a very rosy view of Labor’s prospects under Julia Gillard. Nielsen surveyed 993 respondents on Thursday night and found Labor’s primary vote roaring back to 47 per cent, decimating the Greens – down seven points to 8 per cent – and delivering them a thumping 55-45 two-party lead. The Coalition primary vote has nonetheless held up: at 42 per cent, it is only down one point on the famous 53-47 poll of June 6. Julia Gillard leads Tony Abbott as preferred prime minister 55 per cent to 34 per cent, widening the gap achieved by Rudd in his last poll from ten points to 21. Against Kevin Rudd, she scores a not overwhelming lead of 44 per cent to 36 per cent: Rudd himself records slightly improved personal ratings, approval up two to 43 per cent and disapproval up five to 47 per cent. Tony Abbott is for some reason down on both approval (one point to 40 per cent) and disapproval (five points to 46 per cent).

Galaxy produces a more modest headline figure of 52-48 in a survey of 800 respondents, also conducted yesterday. This was achieved off a 41 per cent primary vote, making it a lot more solid than the 52-48 Rudd achieved his final Newspoll, which was based on 35 per cent plus a hypothetical preference share. No further primary vote figures at this stage, but it’s safe to say that here too Labor has recovered a lot of soft Greens votes. The margin of error on the poll is about 3.5 per cent. Opinion is evenly divided on the leadership coup – 45 per cent support, 48 per cent oppose – but most would prefer a full term to an early election, 36 per cent to 59 per cent. Head-to-head questions on leaders’ personal attributes produce consistently huge leads for Gillard.

Channel Nine also had a poll conducted by McCrindle Research, who Possum rates “not cut for politics”. Nonetheless, their figures are in the ballpark of the others: Labor leads 54-46 on two-party, with 42.7 per cent of the primary vote against 38.8 per cent for the Coalition and 12.1 per cent for the Greens. Julia Gillard holds a lead as preferred prime minister of 64.8-35.2, the undecided evidently having been excluded. Sixty-three per cent believed she could “understand the needs of Australian mothers”.

Finally, market research company CoreData have produced a hugely dubious poll of 2500 people conducted “at 11am yesterday”, which has Labor on 29.5 per cent and “Liberal” on 42 per cent. This was primarily because no fewer than 21 per cent of respondents would not vote for Labor “because they did not feel that they had elected Julia Gillard”. Possum is familiar with the company, and says the sample would come “from their online panel, probably not perfectly balanced in the demographics and probably not a great fit for instapolitics”.

We’ve also had today the forlorn spectacle of the final Morgan poll conducted on Rudd’s watch. The face-to-face poll of 887 respondents from last weekend had Labor’s two-party lead widening from 51.5-48.5 to 53-47, with Labor up three points to 41 per cent at the expense of the Greens (down half a point to 12.5 per cent) and others (down 2.5 per cent to 4 per cent).

hahahah fucking core data

 

[willma88]

Her honeymoon period will be over soon ? Quick! Call the election!!!!!

 

[Lentern]

New tear ‘m down and put the next one up leaders nearly always get a boost vis a vis the predecessor, whether they’re a Rudd or a Howard, a Latham or a Downer, although it can take a few weeks. It doesn’t mean much in terms of eventual electability.
