Red in the USA is the colour of the Republicans.The world liberal in politics is actually quite a funny one also. It has quite different meanings in the USA, Britain, and here.
I think you may be yellow.You heading for a blue with me @SirRumpole?
I have been green all my life.I think you may be yellow.
A 6 week campaign is ridiculous, they have been campaigning for 3 months already.The date is set: 21st of May and six weeks of the ballyhoo, urgh.... lol
True, but now they'll really ratchet it up.A 6 week campaign is ridiculous, they have been campaigning for 3 months already.
I think the public may switch off.True, but now they'll really ratchet it up.
I'm hearing ya.I think the public may switch off.
Honestly after COVID, the Ukraine war and everything else I will struggle.
Labor falls again.
Just spotted that one of the major newspapers has published on the comments of quite a few people, members of the public, on what they see as the top priority issues.
Well guess what?
With a single exception they all picked issues broadly in line with the ones that same media organisation pushes and none took the opposing view, the only exception being somewhat neutral in that regard not really on the other side as such. Well how about that? What a truly amazing coincidence.....
Regardless of who wins the election, one thing I'd really like to see is media reform and a complete end to the whole "tribal" Left versus Right thing and the idea that individuals and even the media are in one camp or the other on everything.
I counted 40 days and 40 nights.True, but now they'll really ratchet it up.
The media will, they already have tripped up Albo, who had a Hewson and the GST on a cake moment.
Oh it's just an SpTrawler thing eh Rob? ? ? ?
Day one, Albo 0 media 1
From the article:
Anthony Albanese has told colleagues he “f***ked up” and it “won’t happen again”.
It was agonising, sloppy and by any definition a trainwreck press conference.
And now every galah in the pet shop, as Paul Keating once said, will be asking him ‘gotcha’ questions for the rest of the campaign.
The Labor leader made a swift exit after he was stumped by questions about the Reserve Bank’s cash rate and the unemployment rate.
According to witnesses, he tore strips off himself and told colleagues that it was not a good start — an understatement — and that he should have known the answers to the journalists’ questions.
Mr Albanese refused to say what the cash rate was three times, before admitting he also didn’t know the jobless figures in Launceston.
“The national unemployment rate at the moment is … I think it’s 5.4 … sorry,” he said. “I’m not sure what it is.”
Of course, the current unemployment rate is 4 per cent — a level not seen since the 1970s — a far cry from 5 per cent.
Actually that doesn't matter, because if the media turn on him, that clip will be played every time the goldfish comes around the bowl. ?At least Katie Gallagher knew the answer, and the electorate has the memory of a goldfish, so Albo will be ok.
Plenty of clips of Scomo too.Actually that doesn't matter, because if the media turn on him, that clip will be played every time the goldfish comes around the bowl. ?
Absolutely, I was just pointing out to Rob, that the media are merciless and they will do anything for a headline. He thinks I imagine it.Plenty of clips of Scomo too.
This is why Labor don't win elections anymore. Their campaign strategies are inept.
Cue: the real Albo ala Gillard... moving forrrrrward...
