Labor is in for a wipeout at next election. More bad news for them on its way this year.
Current betting is almost 3 to 1 ~ $2.90 to be exact...care to better it?

On a 2 party preferred vote with labor winning more of the centre than the coalition (like last election) Labor wins...i know that's not predicted at the moment, but im saying it will come to pass at the time.
Turnbull captures the centre vote, Tony doesn't...they both by default bring the right.
I never engage in that sort of betting. What I'll offer is between you and me, i.e. if you're right I'll pay you $100 and if you're wrong you pay me $100.Current betting is almost 3 to 1 ~ $2.90 to be exact...care to better it?

Just read this article and found it interesting, even Bob has realised that unions only represent a small proportion of the labour force.
Cranking up the wages for the select few in the mining or construction industries, just pi$$es of the rest of the workers that have to take crap wages to keep a job.
It also adds to their cost of living because the general perception is everyone is on film star wages.IMO

This is MY version of your statement, and exactly how I feel about many members here:There's a fundamental difference between the die hard Labor supporters and those of us who are so critical of the government: Labor sycophants will never, ever acknowledge any fault in the policies or personalities of their chosen side. Swinging voters and Coalition supporters, on the other hand, are prepared to see the reality of imperfections.

Personally, I am disappointed that you have forgotten my admission earlier in my time here that I have swung, particularly before and after the introduction of the GST (because I recognised it not only as good policy, but true tax reform), and at a state level, about 50/50 since then.

Other posters might like to join in.
Let me know, SC.
I can get almost 3/1 from the bookies...id be a mug punter to take your money at your odds.
Fair enough, Eager. It's just perhaps that there seem to be no ASF members who, if favouring the Left, are not die hard supporters, unwilling to accept the failings of their side.This is MY version of your statement, and exactly how I feel about many members here:

Well, I'm very sorry if I have overlooked some particular thing you have said. The site has thousands of posters and sadly my memory is not up to storing every comment from all of them.Personally, I am disappointed that you have forgotten my admission earlier in my time here that I have swung, particularly before and after the introduction of the GST (because I recognised it not only as good policy, but true tax reform), and at a state level, about 50/50 since then.
Hah, I thought you wouldn't be up for a simple bet. Different story when asked to put your money where your mouth is huh!I can get almost 3/1 from the bookies...id be a mug punter to take your money at your odds.
Rumour going round that, while he was filming PM interview at cricket, Joe The Cameraman whispered - "Can't bowl, can't bat, can't govern"
While we are on the subject of PM's that cant bowl etc.

I think this is a current dilemma in Australian politics...I think all our prime ministers have had a good heart (even Keating). If you look at them compared to what other countries have had, like Silvio Berlosconi and Dick Cheney you can see we are the lucky country..
