It's totally unbalanced and just another of your delusional claims.
Quite funny tho!

My personal view is that a child is born either male or female and this should be noted at the time.

To the extent anyone's taking issue with the law in Tasmania though, well Tas has a majority Liberal government. That's Liberals alone not Liberal-Green, Liberal-National or anyone else, just Liberal. To the extent that anyone sees a problem with that, or any other, law in that state well the only political party that can blamed is the party in government and that's Liberal.
 
Quote from Amanda Vanstone "People say they don’t trust him. They hear a shallowness in his voice and see him as a hollow man. And this is from my Labor mates!"

I agree
 
One week to go.

Stand by for the dirt file on Bill Shorten from the Murdoch political party media.

I'll betcha a fifty it's that old rape claim again
 
Talking about the Liberals.............what are their policies?

Really weird I missed that part at the launch yesterday just like all the previous Liberal Prime Minsters.

The Liberal campaign is more like an oppositions and Labours more like a Government how can that happen?

Lets face it the Coalition are just ramble with Scomo doing some child acting not to say the punters wont elect them on that basis Yanks elected Trump so any thing goes.

A point made to me this morning in the offline world is that both major parties are playing identity politics based around their leader.

That being so, regardless of who is elected to government, since they have campaigned heavily on the basis of the party leader the public has reasonable grounds to expect that person to remain as leader. Therefore any change of leadership, unless due to reasons of genuine ill health (or death), should automatically trigger the immediate calling of an election.

Seems like a reasonable idea to me.

Another point which came up is that the Nationals have become completely invisible to the point that one could be excused for being unsure if the party even still exists.

Hollow man sums him up very well. Even his "I love my mummy" speech felt off.

Labor needs to ditch all those recycled front benchers from the rudd era as well. They were terrible during the rudd and Gillard years and no better now.
 
And yet the election could change on a dime. That says a lot about labor as well. Albo probably would have won in a landslide, but the unions want their empty headed stooge in top position.
 
Time will tell.

I reckon the Soviet Socialist State of Victoria should secede.

Just sayin'

Victoria used to be the jewel in the Liberal crown, from Menzies onwards, but they have treated us like we are the arse.

Despite having the strongest growth they have cut back on our infrastructure funding. They spend all their time sucking up to Queensland and giving NSW volumes of cash.

Also we liked Turnbull and they boned him.

The state Libs couldn't get enough crazy right wingers so they got Mormons everywhere despite the fact they make up a tiny fraction of the population. They had a party hack beat two highly qualified women to take one seat. We finally got rid of that imbecile state leader Kroger.

We haven't got right wing shock jocks here or one party paper towns fed disinformation by Newscorp.
Some Libs actually said as they overthrew Turnbull that it was necessary to keep the Queensland seats and though it wouldn't go down well in Victoria the seats were all too safe to lose.

I hope they lose 4 seats in Melbourne so we can treated seriously again.

So Victoria's the only state where there's any clear preference it would seem.

I wonder if we'll end up with a hung parliament or tiny majority to whichever side wins?

Could be analogous to state Govt results.
State Libs are popular in NSW. Not in Vic as stated above.
That 51-49 in NSW is a 5% improvement for the Coalition this year. In Vic it's unchanged.
Historically, the Libs usually campaign better than Labor and they also do better in postal votes.

I think it's heading for a hung parliament with Labor winning more seats than the LNP but still unable to form Govt. In which case we will have to vote again.

Count by seat rather than State by State.
Labour look like getting a clear majority in the Reps.
Betting today:

I agree...
It was a total whitewash at one stage.
But when you look closer labors "team unity", they were all the ones who reigned over death, money blowouts and disaster.
I'm surprised they haven't hammered the labor team for being the same stale useless buggers from before.

Even putting keneally out front speaks volumes of peoples attention spans. She was Obeids show poodle for one of the most corrupt state governments ever. Nsw has not elected another labor government since.

And the rumors around Billy boy. No wonder sco mo brought it back.

Apart from this first homeowners scheme , where is the policy ?

Just a vote buying tax cut and more of the same rubbish.

He's playing the small target game but I don't think it will help him.

That was what I meant by handicaps. The party is completely in stasis on policy.
Even that first home owners scheme was a last minute Captains' pick by Morrison, he didn't even run it past cabinet much less get it costed but he had to say something at the Liberal launch.
