That, but the other way around.
That, but the other way around.ALP at forthcoming election 55%, Libs 45%,
The press are looking pale and frustrated;
Abbott is stutterring Blah Blah Blah;
ASF high counters are frustrated and xxx ing each other;
So what has happenned; Krudd has arrived back on the scene cause Jules ran out of support/steam/etc;
The electorate have been so fed up with the lead up, cant keep up to the mortgage, sick of boat people talk and of course the Blah B xxx b lah blah.
And kruddy Kev is smiling, the press love the change, people are talking in the streets again, not sure what is happening but at least it is a bit like a Santa thype of thing. I'll vote for that.
And as I said last week, ALP at forthcoming election 55%, Libs 45%,
And like me ole mate Sir Les Patterson often says, "No xxxx xing worries pal"
Kevin Rudd is not the Messiah for Labor.
He's the disaster that's found the same place to happen twice.
In the first national poll since Kevin Rudd returned as Prime Minister, results show he has taken a significant lead as the country's preferred leader...yep i know about the Honeymoon thing.
- Rudd 51%
- Abbott 34%

So im wondering if anyone has an example of when a potential PM has not won the job with a rating of over 50% ?
Or the other way around, has an Opposition leader ever won with a preferred PM rating under 35% ?
I cant think of a time when this has ever happened before. :dunno:

It wasn't that long ago you were talking up Gillard.
How did that go for you?
Now you're backing a two times loser of his own party, you are so rusted on, we could call you 'red lead'.lol
Gillard was ok, for what ever reason she just didn't appeal to the masses, i can understand why they rolled Rudd in the first place (still think it was wrong though) but clearly understand that Julia's use by date had come around...no room for sentamentality in politics...not in the Labor party anyway.
The Liberals is another matter of course, Labor unlike The Liberals, can and do actually make the hard decisions..unlike the Gutless Howard and Costello show, what a sad joke that was, a political use by date that was totally ignored, a quality politician destroyed before he really had a chance.
What would you like me to do ?Don't tell me, The absolute worst Prime Minister we have ever had? the new worst after just 1 week.
While Tony Abbott is unpopular with the electorate, the Labor party itself is toxic with the electorate.Care to comment on my previous post?
(My Bolds)The second thing that Rudd can't change is temperament. It would be unfair to deeply analyse this in the media, however you be the judge of how many of six common signs of narcissistic leadership could apply to our Prime Minister:
• Prone to grandiose visions and to over-estimating their own capabilities (remember "the greatest moral challenge of our time").
• Hyper-sensitive to criticism and liable to fly into anger (be careful when serving him on a plane).
• Pursue power at all costs leading to infighting and suspicion which ultimately brings them down (enough said).
• Easily bored, change course often (swing to the left, swing to the right on boats).
• Lack empathy and trust but say the socially acceptable thing when in public (Is there a better example than saying he won't accept anyone criticising former PM Gillard).
• Gather only those who agree around them (was that eight cabinet ministers who have gone?)
Pressure exposes default behaviours and tends to amplify strengths until they become weaknesses. If even half of these narcissistic characteristics apply to PM Rudd then he'd best call the election as early as possible.
The Liberals is another matter of course, Labor unlike The Liberals, can and do actually make the hard decisions..unlike the Gutless Howard and Costello show, what a sad joke that was, a political use by date that was totally ignored, a quality politician destroyed before he really had a chance.
That's a really valid point. And it's in addition to the fact that - according to all reliable sources - Costello just never had the numbers to challenge Howard.Actually, I don't think Costello would have won that election, people had it too good and were bored.
They wanted change and brought it about.
Howard faced an electorate that felt like a change, so Labor parachuted in a high profile t.v personality, to give them a shallow reason.
So what is the evidence that he is an Islamist with extreme views rather than a person with a different religion to the majority?

Is this a clever push by Canberra for a Republic, or just a clever push by Canberra to take over direct control of education and health.
Which by default, doesn't leave much for the States to be responsible for, so why have them.lol
Premier Colin Barnett says his warnings that WA's declining GST share will eventually impact on services have become a reality, flagging hits to health and education in next month's Budget

One would also have to ask if the direct funding of Local Councils, doesn't have the same result.
Is it a Republic by stealth?
President Rudd, President Gillard. Sounds like a better pension to me.
I don't see the connection between this and the republic debate?
If Australia was a Republic, what part would the State Governments play?
