From Ray Martin

“I have interviewed every Prime Minister since Bob Menzies and I think this is the most incompetent government we’ve had. It’s time,” he said of the government under Scott Morrison.

It won't happen, the media is just trying to change the rhetoric, just in case the anti Scomo rhetoric hasn't worked.
Last time they copped a lot of backlash from the punters, this time they have run a long game of blaming Morrison for everything, but they were burnt last time.
So they now want to put up a possible alternative to reduce the odds.
Really who cares, like I said earlier the next government has to make some hard decisions, the last time Labor were in the retirement age went up to 67 years old .
Macron who we are pissing on ourselves over, is copping crap for increasing the retirement age to 65, we are a weird lot IMO.

'Risky but it's a necessity': Macron wants to push back France's retirement age to 65

France's finance minister said pushing back the retirement age from 62 to 65 was the "best way of protecting our social model."

I was totally against moving the pension age to 67 although it was done to fund to increase the pension itself by some $30 a week.

Moving it to 70 was far worse because it's another 3 years, there was no further increase and it also meant your super had to last another 3 years if you retired at 65 and it was that scenario that led the calls to increase the super preservation age as well which is what Hockey was looking at and that really pissed me off because it punishes the savers who had done the right thing by saving / avoiding welfare.

Despite all the above I would vote for anyone moving it down to 62 and restore the quality of life that once made Australia great :)

The devil spawned Murdoch Press is reporting on the PM's department pushing for the engagement of a firm run by two of Scomos friends.
From The evil Murdoch empire
A privately run quarantine scheme directed by two of Scott Morrison’s best friends was pushing the Department of Home Affairs to repatriate over 30,000 stranded Australians – despite claims the facility was primarily for skilled visa holders and international students.
It comes as emails from Department of Home Affairs secretary Mike Pezzullo reveal he only received an amended proposal from DPG Advisory Solutions seven hours before he directed his department to engage the company on an “urgent advisory” basis.

DPG Advisory Solutions was founded and run by former Liberal Party candidate David Gazard, who previously worked as a Coalition ministerial adviser and Scott Briggs, the former deputy director of the Liberal party.

Both are long-time confidants of the Prime Minister.

A governmental proposal drawn up by Quarantine Services Australia, obtained by The Australian, reveals the company was aiming to quarantine 20,000+ people per month, or over 240,000 over a 12-month period.

The proposal claimed the ostensibly not-for-profit initiative would be at “minimal cost” to government.

Under its pricing model, quarantine spot were slated to be up to $13,500 for two weeks, or $2,700 and $4,700 for shorter three-day “catch and release” spots. State run quarantine stays cost about $3,000 for two weeks.

“An estimated +30,000 Australians are unable to re-enter the country due to a combination of availability of air transportation, health/vaccination and cost,” the proposal reads.

“Any reopening of borders to foreigners must be accompanied with an operationalised plan visibly driving the return of Australians prior to Christmas.”

The revelations come despite Mr Pezzullo telling in senate estimates in November, that the proposal was primarily designed to bring in skilled workers and university students which would be of “direct interest” to the commonwealth.

Kinda surprised that the ABC and others are not all over it.

The latest poll results still have me puzzled.
Not because of the waxing and waning of the two major parties, but the performance of all the others.
One nation has gone backwards, the greens and the "others" are right back where they were at the last election.
I really thought that this would be a watershed election where non mainstream groups would hail a new era, but it just does not seem to be reflected in the polling results.
As we all remember , the pollsters were way out last time, so maybe they will be hopelessly wrong again.

Whose polling?
 
How many of the people on ASF do polls, I know if I get a phone call or email about a poll, I just ignore it. It would be interesting to know what sort of people actually respond to polls, are they people who are really interested in putting forward their views, are they strongly opinionated people, or maybe they feel they are providing a service.
I think it would be interesting.
