He noted this morning that he's "hopeful" of having as many candidates running in Labor held seats.

The election is 4 1/2 months away, surely it's leaving a run fairly late to throw new candidates into seats now?


Do you know the current candidates in your seats besides the incumbent?

I don’t. And probably won’t until the posters start coming out :)


Well then they're not working hard enough, are they? And yes, Susan Close in Port Adelaide. Met her a couple of times, nice lady. Foley before her.

The Libs, Brad Vermeer last time around, are lucky to get 30-35% on two party preferred so barely make an effort.

I imagine Mr X would have Port Adelaide lined up as one of his Labor held seats to contest. Hard pressed to make a case for the blue bloods making ground in the Port so any option other than the Greens or Family First might rattle some cages.

Agree with Benny. Plus the fact it's not the candidates that will win any gains, it's the Xenophon name.
Interesting the priorities have been getting people into the Lib-held seats.

It is indeed. He's also saying he wants to run an even number of candidates in both Labor and Liberal held seats, well, at the moment he's got 7 in Liberal and none in Labor held and he's got under 4 months to make an impression.

The economy is slowing down dramatically and it really is crippling small businesses. If the trend continues as we get closer to Election time it might get Marshall over the line.

Brad Vermeer is held with high regard inside the Libs
Matty Wade is a star and deserves more respect from the forum family!

Because he and his ilk suffer from an affliction where they are stuck in an angry, bitter, team based, rhetoric heavy, spiral of self loathing. This causes them to not see simple fact are they question reality itself.

Its often brought on by an ESL bill for a cutla hundred bucks or a power bill that was more than one thought. This outrage initiates a fear response, which despite the subject having hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity on their third property, residing in one of the most livable cities in the world, having access to free health care and subsidised higher education... that $280 ESL bill is just too much.

I call this affliction - AdelAIDS.
