Federal Labor have a secret weapon..........Abbott

Dear Federal Labor party please listen to this man - he knows what he is talking about.

Parts of the electorate that don't like Tony Abbott

1. Females
2. Male homosexuals (lesbians already covered in 1.)
3. Male Greens (females covered in 1.)
4. Young (but of voting age) males jealous of how Tony looks in budgie smugglers.
5. Male union members (female members covered in 1.)
6. All male non milllioniare's (female members covered in 1.)
7. All male non owners of any sort of business (female members covered in 1.)

This should ensure a landslide win for the Labor party as there are not many left to vote for Tony.

Conclusion - there is no need to change anything!

Wouldn't you look at fixing up the problem at the bottom rather than throw money at the top FCS we are all Australians.

Nothing like a class war eh Frank.

SMH Editorial (Sunday)...

seems to think tinkering around the 'top' might be a good idea. And I agree.

Latest from the satanic Bolt of the Hate Media.
QLD Labor - primary support 26.9%
Federal Labor - latest primary support 28% (-3%)

http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/

..The latest Newspoll survey reveals that federal Labor’s primary support has dropped three percentage points to 28 per cent in the past fortnight just one point above the 26.9 per cent figure achieved in its devastating loss in Queensland…

She's obviously still going through the motions, but I now sense a resignation in Julia Gillard's voice.

It's about time, we still have a year to wait though and a tough year that will be.

It's funny how the voice can show "resignation" but it comes from a "stubborn" heart. It's that stubbornness, which some Gen-Y adviser has wrongly described as male-pattern determination which prevents them seeing the 3 great truths:

1) "There will be no carbon tax under the Government I lead", with the benefit of hindsight is a lie, and no amount of re-packaging will change that.

2) We, the great unwashed of the electorate, should be grateful that the Gillard government is a great reforming Labor government (in the Hawke/Keating tradition) that has delivered us the carbon tax.

3) Once that has been imposed on us from 1 July 2012 onwards, we will see the error of our ways and profusely apologise for delivering the appalling polling results Labor has shown, so Gillard will continue to ignore the polls.

ARE THE PEOPLE REALLY AT THE CENTRE OF THE GILLARD GOVERNMENT'S ACTIVITY? WOULD ANY OTHER PM (JOHN HOWARD INCLUDED) HAVE BEEN THIS STUBBORN? IS IT POSSIBLE TO DELIVER A GREATER INSULT TO THE ELECTORATE SHORT OF LOSING BADLY ON ELECTION DAY AND BRINGING IN THE ARMY TO KEEP LABOR IN POWER?

MrBurns · 27 March 2012

She thought she could convince everyone that paying more tax will save the earth, it hasn't worked.

StumpyPhantom · 27 March 2012

Yeah! That was really the 1st greenie generation's justification/mantra. Way back when we used to trust government!

This certainly gives the lie to the the misinformatin the ABC and others spread, rubbishing Abbott because he said that the Carbon Tax was an issue in the Qld State election.

It's comical. Most of us powerless electors are just trying to get Julia Gillard to LISTEN, so the Qld State election is as good a means as any.

Gillard comes from this self-obsessed school that says "Just because I think or say something, it must be the fact"

So we're all just left with one way of saying it so she will sit up and take notice. At the election (just watch her blame it on something or someone else).

The arrogance of it all - so disappointing for what I imagined our first female PM would be like.

MrBurns · 27 March 2012

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has brushed aside a new poll showing support for federal Labor has dropped again - echoing the party's dismal performance in Saturday's Queensland election.

The Queensland Labor Party was crushed in Saturday's election, winning just 26.9 per cent of the vote and losing 43 seats as the LNP swept to power.

The latest Newspoll shows federal Labor's primary vote is in similar territory.

It has dropped three points to 28 per cent since the last poll a fortnight ago, and has fallen seven points in a month.

That is just short of the all-time Newspoll Labor primary vote low of 26 per cent, which was recorded last September.

"I could wake up every morning and worry about the polling or I could wake up every morning thinking about the future of the nation. I choose to do the latter," Ms Gillard told reporters at a nuclear safety summit in Seoul, South Korea.

She seems to misss the point that the best thing for the future of the nation is her departure from politics.

Labor politicians don't have real jobs. Working for their union bosses is the only job they know. I guess most of the defeated laborites in Qld have union jobs to fall back on. They know nothing about running a business obviously.

Yes, but didn't you say on the Anna Bligh thread

Someone who is elected by the people should not run away and hide, spitting in their faces, and cause another irritating and expensive by election.

She wasnt elected, it was a hung parliament and she bludged her way in by lying to Wilkie. Different circumstances.

Coming in loud and clear, Joe. It's just such a pity that's come to this - the people having to take the governing of the country into their own hands by bludgeoning their PM once every 3 years.

It's a very blunt tool, and consequently very difficult to undo things like the carbon tax and the minig tax before thousands of jobs are lost and we have to endure financial hardship.

What happened to governing for the people. Can we find a UN job for Kevin Rudd somewhere so he can resign his seat and bring on the election?

So true, pity we have to vent like this when we should all be enjoying the benefits of proficient and competent Govt for all.........sounds idealistic doesn't it but that's what we deserve and what we pay for.
