2013 Federal Election: 7 September 2013

[drsmith]

Yep, really dumb politics by Rudd.

Watch it backfire.

I think Tony Abbott and the Coalition are baiting Labor with this stuff.

CHRISTOPHER PYNE: And Kevin Rudd is in no position to lecture anybody; anyone who wants to watch his expletive laden video would get a very idea of how he treats his staff.

As for Kate Ellis and sexy politicians, she's not as sexy as Natasha Stott Degoodsort was in her day, in my view.

I have been watching ABC this morning and they have flogged this "SEX APPEAL" comment by Abbott to the death.

Andrew Bolt exposes some past history of Kevin Rudd.

Will someone please explain to me why saying a woman has sex appeal is wrong? isnt that a compliment?

Feminists surely wont turn on him, they're all about embracing their sexualities. It sure as hell isnt sexist and im sick of a politically correct society

 

[bunyip]

Someone's finally convinced her to have something other than that rats nest she often has on top of her head.

What happens though if she changes her facial expression ?

Reminds me of that old poem.....

Little smears of powder
Little dobs of paint
Make some women look like
What they surely ain’t

 

[Tink]

Yes, thats all they seem to zone in on, rubbish, nothing to do with how they have put this country in $250 billion debt with this buffoon on the wheel.
We have already seen this lot in action and its not pretty.

Here we go again down the same road, shows they dont learn from their past - same old choices all over again.
They saw way too much confidence in Abbott at the debate, which he won going by the ABC polls.

Good on Abbott for saying about preferences and telling Rudd to step to the plate and think of the country first.

The female (Fiona Scott) who is at the centre of attraction is not complaining, so what is the big deal?

The big deal is to discredit Tony Abbott where ever possible.

Kevin Rudd says he is over negativity until it comes to smearing Tony Abbott. It is all about Votes, votes and more votes. Rudd is so desperate he will do and say anything for votes.

Not all of them. But there is no doubt former Greens leader Bob Brown didn't have sex appeal for some.

Abbott is going to cut, cut, cut

Rudd will continue to waste, waste, waste

Which will be best for our economy/finances?

 

[drsmith]

Sportsbet now has the Coalition at $1.12 and Labor at $6.00.

Perhaps that's why the policy promises from Labor are now getting a little far fetched.

KEVIN Rudd has pledged to create a special economic zone in the Northern Territory, with a company tax rate up to a third lower than elsewhere in Australia.

Mr Rudd failed to provide costings for the pledge, which would not be delivered until 2018.

Lol, KRudd is the guy that was busted going to the strippers in New York City, was he not?

It would be sexist if Abbott was discriminating against her because she was a woman. To say she has 'sex appeal', while a bit odd and cringe worthy, isn't sexist or discriminatory. He probably won't say it again.

The good news is the KRudd surge in the polls was just a 'sugar rush'. Abbott now has his measure. I was a bit worried that KRudd's presidential-style campaign might work. But he is not presidential; he is uncle psycho!

Good bye and good riddance to this rabble. I cannot wait for election day ... :

It wouldn't be Rudd trying the old me too politics, in response to Abbotts developing the North, would it?

Is there any wonder the coalition is playing its cards close to the chest.

Just another backflip by Labor, six months ago they were slagging off at Abbott about the idea.
Labor still the goon show of old.
Same crap, different day.

You just took the words right out of mouth...... I thought exactly the same thing........So Rudd must now consider Abbott has a good idea which is gaining approval of the north....

What a cad.

Proves the Labor party is nothing but a wank. They stole a lot of lib policies in 2007 in a me too grab and then proceeded to stuff them up in grand fashion.
Stealing the upper end taxation zone has just gone beyond desperate. I'm sure a lot of the labor supporters were poo pooing the idea and now we have yet another Rudd backflip and to top it off he steals another lib idea. No wonder libs didn't want to release anything too early.
Seriously does Rudd want to turn the labor party into the liberal party, because they are looking very similar.


Just a special mention to the fairfax journalists who bagged out the idea to no end in support of labor. Time to backflip yet again you pack of leftie scum.

Oh Dear!

The gamble that started as a happy marriage to then be followed by a lovers tiff.

Now the gloves between Andrew Wilkie and Labor are well and truly off.

Most of us will have received a letter in the mail offering registration of postal votes and including a reply paid envelope. The format replicates that of the AEC. What is not made clear, however, is that if you fill out the form with all the obvious personal info, it first goes to the political party who mailed it out to you. Apparently both sides are doing this. It's not illegal, but imo it's pretty misleading.

Schadenfreude

PETER Beattie is facing a shock annihilation in his Queensland marginal seat battle, according to a new poll.

The former Queensland premier has secured a two-party preferred vote of only 40 per cent to 60 per cent against the Liberal National Party MP for Forde, Bert Van Manen.

The poll, conducted by JWS Research for the Australian Financial Review, shows the result represents a swing of 8.4 per cent to the LNP since the 2010 election.

The primary vote was in the LNP's favour 54 to 33 per cent, with the Greens on 4 per cent and 9 per cent undecided.

Mr Beattie was dropped into the seat south of Brisbane last week, claiming underdog status after returning from his new abode in New York City, after the Labor party feared it was not going to pick up the seat.

Schadenfreude

Labor's election campaign is now listing badly and the punters know it.

The Coalition is now $1.11 on Sportsbet and Labor has blown out to $6.00.

The Betfair graphic below also shows where the money is going.

 

[Calliope]

Just in case you can't get the above heraldsun link, you won't want to miss this bit.

The news about Mr Beattie comes as Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has said he is the underdog in this election campaign - while Opposition Leader Tony Abbott earlier today said the vote could go either way.

Mr Rudd's admission came on a visit to Perth, where he was heckled by a man shouting "you're a f...ing idiot."

As a woman commended the Prime Minister for the job he was doing and a man selling the Big Issue at the city's main train station asked about the government policy's on youth homelessness, Joshua Kyriakos Kailis yelled at Mr Rudd.

Later he said: "He is a f...ing idiot , why should I regret swearing?"

Mr Kailis later explained his actions by saying he was doing it to defend Tony Abbott - because the opposition leader apparently "can't articulate himself" well enough.

This little piece in one of the comments I found interesting,

RUDD TAKES A NANDO'S CHIP FROM ABBOTT VOTER

Jessica Marszalek and Gemma Jones

HE'S got his chip, but he doesn't have his vote.
Kevin Rudd today spent the longest time with real people during his campaign so far when he made a mammoth hour-long shopping centre tour of Perth's Carousel Westfield at Cannington.
Making a brief stop to refuel, he stole a chip from the plate of three courier drivers eating at chicken takeaway Nando's.
But while 23-year-old Mark Allen was happy to provide the nourishment, he said he would be voting for Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.
"I think the other guy's going to do a better job," Mr Allen said "He's a bit more stable in my mind."

If he keeps doing that, he might find himself wearing the whole meal.

Or a 'suppository of wisdom' in chip form.
