Albanese Labor Govt Watch

[RB]

If Verity did a preference deal with Labor, one of them would probably get in

ALP, and in particular independent voters, largely ignore preference recommendations (i.e. unless they were planning to vote according to the recommendation anyway) so I doubt any 'deal' they may come to would have any impact.

I don't think Labor would be best pleased with an independent running in Sturt, given how close Labor got there last time. It would be one of Labor's biggest pick-up opportunities anywhere in the country. Having said that, a prominent independent campaign in Boothby didn't hurt Labor in 2022.

There was a general hatred of Morrison etc last election which wont be the case this time

Stevens had a 7.43% swing against him last election but it went mainly to independants - Labor only got 0.8%
The Greens got 16.39% last time with a 5.21% increase - that's what nearly got Labor over the line
I'm betting on them only getting around 10% - they have gone even more feral

I'm betting an independent gets in if Stevens loses
(Lo, and behold, I just got my weekly e-mail from him)

Verity is an interesting one
The Coopers are very local and big donors to the Liberal Party
Verity has always been a bit alternative
She will either nail it or the blue rinse will set upon her

The national Teal vote is an unknown quantity.
Im reading a lot that some of them could lose their seat.

This election is going to be as gripping as 2019

Just received a spam SMS from Claire Clutterham for Sturt.

Ignored and blocked … F*ck Off.

That is all.

Why is it whenever I see Michaela Cash on tv I want to kick the tv in?
Her head and voice disturb me.

[am Bays]

Yes, Australian males have no problems with women in politics

[dedja]

Hope that wasn’t directed at me

I used to get spam emails from Christopher Pyne, so after telling his office at least half a million times that I’m not interested, I started calling him Poodle in my replies. The emails soon stopped.

Boost to the ALP with a rate cut

Boost to the ALP with a rate cut

Indeed.

They were wrongly blamed for the hikes and will be wrongly credited with the cuts.

Agreed, we had record low interest rates during a pandemic, what did people expect when the pandemic was over?

Chalmers probably have done a decent job to get over this and keep people employed

The wife works in the job sector and regardless of the government that is in power the unemployment rates are the biggest crock of crap figures there is.
The people in her industry are the unbelievable at how good they are cooking the books

Angus Taylor would be great fun at parties.
Say something positive you pompous prat.
Lord help us if this bloke gets the treasurer's seat in parliament.

The government has done a pretty good job in getting the economy sorted during their term.

If they're going to lose the election I don't think it will be economy management that brings it down.

Immigration and border protection is the one that could bring them down.

Well unless the RBA are bullshitting on inflation, employment, wages growth etc.
Inflation was 6. Something when labour came into govt. And during the covid drama in terms of supply.
Two surpluses, when the opposition couldnt forecast one under their own economic management for years.
Now I'm no economist but I'm not sure what more labour could do.

Trumpets of patriots wtf is this madness?
Surely Clive could spend his money elsewhere if he really wants to make Australia great again.
