Oh dear you are not at all bright!Goodness me rederob you are in fine form today !! Phillip Coorey is merely reporting on the Herald/Nielsen poll. Does this take brains? What about the Morgan/Galaxy/Newspoll polls? I am sure they will all say that Malcolm Turnbull has lost traction and credibility. That is a gimme. Brains ... what brains comrade?

A hyena pack hunts in Canberra

Wildlife programs on TV are wholesome, but they are often heavily censored, especially those depicting life on the plains of Africa. The editing always draws a veil at gruesome moments, such as when a pack of hyenas have brought down their prey. Hyenas don't wait for their food to be dead.
They start to rip and tear while there is still life and movement, before the eyes of their prey glaze and natural opiates puts the animal into numbed shock. It is nature's in-built protection for violent death.
We got the uncensored equivalent live on TV last week, when our federal leaders descended on their prey, eyes gleaming, bloodlust in the air, red meat on the floor. There were five men operating as a pack - Kevin Rudd, Anthony Albanese, Lindsay Tanner, Tony Burke, Chris Bowen - with an intent to leave a shredded political carcass on Capital Hill.
You got that right. It was a well crafted sting. The young men Rudd surrounds himself with have plenty of talent.
As you admit to typing an untruth, so should you deserve to be treated with contempt, as you kindly point out.So on this matter I concede that Labor has actually risen 1 percent and not lost ground as I had predicted (Damn listening to channel 9 in the mornings)
As for the matter of typing untruths in this thread ... I will treat this with the contempt it deserves.
Pity your colleagues can't admit to their untruths.
Am happy to let you do your best.As I have said before you shouldn't accuse other posters of lying when you know your hero Rudd is a serial liar. Perhaps you should also treat him with contempt.
So let's do "threadgate".My opinion that Labor had slipped in the polls was exactly that, an opinion that I opined for public view.
Well, let's hope he does. But I am of the belief that he will not re-enter politics or be no match for the everyman Kevin Rudd who appeals to the electorate by being a chameleon. At the moment he is enjoying too good a ride with the press, sort of reminds me of Nero Caesar actually, he fiddles whilst Rome burns. Back to the Peter Costello thingy .. can you imagine the headlines "Costello does the hokey pokey" you put one foot in, you put one foot out. You get the drift. Credibility would be shot, media circus, skeletons in closet about why the Libs didn't do enough in the glory years while he was Treasurer, lotsa baggage to carry. Once again this is only my opinion. The Libs will wander around aimlessly in the political wilderness until the population of Banana Republic Land wake up to themselves.
I hadn't thought about that potential problem for Costello, but yes, you're probably right. However, on his past record for verbal jousting, I'd expect him to give as good as he received. Academic anyway, as he's showing no signs of changing his mind.Back to the Peter Costello thingy .. can you imagine the headlines "Costello does the hokey pokey" you put one foot in, you put one foot out.

At 9.22am you responded to my post of 6.54am, in which I made clear and unambiguous reference to poll outcomes.
At 12.56pm you made this statement; "Labor loses ground in same poll but not as newsworthy".
Your defence is that in the 6 hours you had to review polling data on the impact of "utegate" you chose not to, and instead proffered an "opinion".
Turnbull had an opportunity to check the veracity of an email that he chose to use in calling for a Prime Minister to resign.
You had an opportunity to check the information that you now wish to claim as an "opinion".
You have either shown poor judgement, or have lied.
As a lawyer, I would vigorously argue the case for the latter based on your history.
As a good hearted person, I will concede your humanity.
