How about a statistical aberration!
I have followed the polling very closely and I haven't come across this so called "late swing" in recent hours.
How about a statistical aberration!It does look as if there has been a late swing to the Liberals. Probably the thoughts are either, "the devil you know" or "a safer pair of hands".
great posts Julia and chops ..Don't forget Julia, that rainfall is always higher under federal Labor.
Like I have said, if you trash the education system like has happened, this is the result. I'd hazard a guess that Labor will increase the number of places at Universities, because of the different funding arrangements and agreements. But the damage is going to be present, like you have listed above, for the next 10 years, until the the balance is brought back and essential service places in Unis are increased.
AWA's have totally f*cked the aged care industry, due to the linking of funding and licensing to the staffing arrangements. Not nurses, but carers etc. Ala TAFEs and child care centres. It's not really a wonder therefore that they can't get people to staff them.
Rudd promised here (Perth) to develop a centre for water excellence, I believe in collaboration with the ISTP (Institute for Sustainable Terchnology and Policy), where I am a student, to develop technology and implement water plans and policy for the rest of Australia. It went totally unreported as far as I'm aware..

Honestly, pollies have plenty of air time on the TV and radio channels to talk/debate endlessly about their "policies" - so WHY ARE THEY SPENDING ZILLIONS TO HAMMER US WITH PROPOGANDA ADS??????? The current un-regulated situation is just plain ridiculous.....
So, can someone point me in the right polling booth direction??? AJ
I hear the libs complain that the unions fund some of the ads for labor - well that's honest money at least - not like raiding govt coffers and saying it belongs to the coalition for their ads (imo)
Actually, I don't care WHO is doing the ADVERTISING PROPOGANDA.
What I AM against is the UNSOLICITED nature of the drivel - from all sides - that is foisted on free to air TV and radio.
It's bad enough with the MAIL OUT ELECTIONEERING SPAM but you can't chose NOT to see the ads on TV or hear them on radio - there's JUST TOO MANY TO STOP in any one day!
You can decide NOT to buy a newspaper and see the pages of PROPOGANDA (gee, did I use that word again?) or to NOT visit the Party websites (eeew!) or to NOT watch a payTV channel running political bumph, but the free to air media should be just that - FREE FROM DAMN POLITICAL ADVERTISING - honestly, what value is there in it to any party?
Double grrrrr....

Why do they not fund liberal ad campaigns?
techReally?
The unions dont have an agenda?
Why do they not fund liberal ad campaigns?
Probably for the same reason that the cult of the "exclusive brethren" etc fund Liberals and not Labor, differing Ideaologies ?
Arminius, I've not yet decided who I am voting for as I've already said on this thread. My whole point is that - although I am unhappy with much the government has done - I simply don't believe that a change to Labor will do anything other than bring many of the same plus a whole set of new problems.and you are still voting for these people julia? after everything that you've seen you are encourageing them to do it again? condoning their actions?
all because you're afraid of what might happen?
bizarre.
I even received an email yesterday from the Greens candidate.Actually, I don't care WHO is doing the ADVERTISING PROPOGANDA.

I'm not a dedicated Liberal voter. I have voted Labor in the past. I voted Labor in the State elections. Just can't see that Mr Rudd and his team offer any improvement over the Libs. And I have yet to read a single post on this thread which offers any concrete basis for believing that Labor will make Australia a better place. All I've read from ardent Labor supporters is belief or faith. A bit like religion really.
Radio and TV media blackout begins at midnight tonight. In the meantime - "calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean"
Noco,
This site poll is obviously is obviously Biased towards people who invest in stocks and use the internet.
Just as the courier mail survey is biased towards Internet users from Brisbane.
Just as the stamp collectors almanac's political survey is biased towards stamp collectors.
I would suggest that liberal supporters can see this as well ? surely its not just Labor supporter's who excercise commonsense ?
Clearly something must be broke for the coalition to be losing so much support from middle Australia.
And if you so dissappointed with Qld STATE government, how is retaining the same Federal Gov going to alter things ? Johnny is obviously not providing the required Federal support for Australias states and territories.
Excellent points.Never hear the Labor Party talk about rolling back the GST anymore. 'Tis also a pity they did not stick to their agreement in abolishing a lot of their state tax's when given the GST. It would make it a lot easier on new home buyers.
I'll stick with the Libs. Who wants coast to coast Labor? What a disaster that would be. Some say it would be good if they all sang from the same sheet of music. The only trouble is the looney left and the right of Labor could never sing in harmony. One would be out of tune with other.
How naive you are Numbercruncher, do you believe that only Liberal supporters use the internet? How can the Courier Mail know who is Labor and who is Liberal when using the internet except when they vote on the poll?
And just look at the Courier Mail today; 21,212 voters: Labor 32% Liberals 58%. Looks like Labor is down and out for the count in Queensland. Don't tell me you believe the Courier Mail is rigging this ballot. Maybe you only like to believe in the polls that favour Labor. How pathetic!.
thanks skint - that's the best news I've had for weeksRadio and TV media blackout begins at midnight tonight.
