Dennis Shanahan, Political Editor
From:The Australian February 13, 201211:15PM TONY Abbott has again overtaken Julia Gillard as preferred prime minister as the Coalition continues to dominate a federal Labor Party distracted by leadership divisions. According to the latest Newspoll survey, taken exclusively for The Australian on February 10-12, Mr Abbott now leads Ms Gillard as preferred prime minister by 40 per cent to 37 per cent, reversing their positions two weeks ago. Ms Gillard had held a clear lead over Mr Abbott as preferred prime minister since mid-November, when she won kudos for hosting the Queen and US President Barack Obama. Based on preference flows at the August 2010 election, the Coalition now holds a 10-point two-party preferred lead over the ALP of 55 per cent to 45 per cent. The Coalition led 54 per cent to 46 per cent two weeks ago. Full details of the latest Newspoll survey will be published in The Australian newspaper and online on Tuesday. |

Tony Abbott needs to be piled on a plane with all of the other corrupt criminals and run out of Australia and banned from coming back. 8-)

While more people still disapprove of Mr Abbott than approve, his satisfaction rating, the difference between the two, has dropped to minus 16.
During the same period, Ms Gillard's satisfaction levels have remained little changed, with satisfaction going from 33 per cent to 32 per cent and dissatisfaction rising from 55 per cent to 57 per cent. Ms Gillard's net satisfaction rating is now minus 25 and has been minus 20 or more since September. Gee, both old party leaders on the nose. Who would of guessed? |

It was only a matter of time before people started realising that Gillard is a liar and hopelessly incompetent at her job. Tony Abbott was part of a highly successful government for more than a decade which oversaw unprecedented growth and zero debt. Time to watch Labor and Gillard freefall in the polls! :)

Well I don't know about other lefties,mel, but I think preferred PM is very important. I am not concerned Abbott is preferred over Gillard though, Rudd has never been beaten as preferred PM by Abbott just like Rudd never lost a TPP against Abbott, and I expect Rudd will be PM again, sooner rather than later. When Rudd again becomes PM, if all the polls that you rightards seem to hang off are correct, Rudd will kick Abbotts ass. |

Skip, it's not the numbers that are the issue here, and you are banking everything on them alone. The faceless men would not have come knocking had Rudds policies and implementations had been competent, and Juliar would still be the Deputy. They don't get rid of winning leaders Skip, because someone doesn't like their style. The wheel don't turn that way. The media would not have turned either had Rudd's policies not been so associated with incompetence, waste and mismanagement. Nor could Abbott have ever been given the airplay had the media believed Rudd knew what he was doing. |

Title: Re: Newspoll - Tony Abbott back in front as PPM. Post by longweekend58 on Feb 14th, 2012 at 8:46am
the true facts are that Abbott started his job a huge margin behind Rudd and quickly starting to reel him in. He started at 16% behind and was at 4% when the cowardly ALP knifed Rudd. So by any measurement, Abbott had Rudd well and truly beaten. And once Gillard came in, Abbott did the same thing to her.
Abbott has beaten both rudd and gillard. you laborites are too senseless to realise when you are shafted. |

Gillard will not win the election unless she brings her party into line.
Leaks like "she penned her speech two weeks ago", just show a party lacking strong leadership. She needs to hang a few out to dry. Cant see it happening though, she doesnt have the support, but its time to put these rabble rousers down. While Abbott is opposition leader, the only thing stopping the labor party from a 3rd term is itself. And its doing a fine job of stopping it so far. |

Howards was proven to be a liar and found to be so by the people!!! Howard censured over push for war with Iraq Prime Minister John Howard was yesterday censured by the Senate for misleading the public in his justification for sending Australia to war with Iraq. It was only the fourth time in more than three decades a sitting prime minister has been censured and the second in Mr Howard's seven-and-a-half years in office. The motion attacked Mr Howard for failing to adequately inform Australians that intelligence agency warnings about a war with Iraq would increase the likelihood of a terrorist attack. It also noted that no evidence had yet been produced by Mr Howard to justify his claims that in March this year, Iraq possessed stockpiles of completed biological chemical weapons that justified going to war. The Opposition, Greens and Australian Democrats voted together to defeat the Government by 33 votes to 30. Greens senator Bob Brown said Mr Howard was involved in an unprecedented deceit of the nation and deserved censure. He said Mr Howard had argued that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and support of international terrorism threatened Australia. "It has become abundantly clear that the Prime Minister was not just a bit wrong. He was totally wrong," he told parliament. Defence Minister Robert Hill said the Australian and other governments believed Saddam Hussein's weapons programs posed a very real danger. Opposition Senate leader John Faulkner said Mr Howard had been loose with the truth on issues of national security. Mr Howard was censured by the Senate in March 2002 over his failure to stop Liberal Senator Bill Heffernan's attack on High Court Justice Michael Kirby. The reasons for censure are still relevant today.....No evidence has ever been produced by Howard or anyone else.....Yet he told Parliament he had proof.....he lied!!! |

Title: Re: Newspoll - Tony Abbott back in front as PPM. Post by Andrei.Hicks on Feb 18th, 2012 at 9:00am
Whether you like the fact or not, this is my take -
The global economy is made up on three interlinked regions and trading blocs. NAFTA, The EU and China. I could say "Asia" but I really think now China is big enough to override anything in Asia, including Japan. Australia is in none of them - not ASEAN, not EU, not NAFTA. Therefore Australia will not dictate terms on global credit and trading - Australia will basically be affected by them. Thus, Australia's economic well-being will principally be decided in Beijing and not Canberra. You could model the pottery wheel all you like - and overall Australia has not done a bad job - but without the Chinese foot on the pedal - it would all come crashing down pretty quickly. There is no need for austerity measures in Australia I agree. However there is in Europe and that is the correct policy. In Britain we suffered badly under a decade of Labour rule (debt grew out of control - as it tends to under that party) and last time it took Mrs Thatcher to sort it out. This time the job falls on the shoulders of Dangerous Dave and I think he's actually doing a reasonable job. |

There, now are you happy, that I've done a YOU? Now that you're happy, surely even you can understand this - Australia doesn't need a general AUS-terity program, its Debt is NOT out of control, it is quite reasonable, but we will still need some very well targeted Tax increases & Expenditure reductions, as a result of Global Problems , which started in the USA & Europe and are now moving on to China & elsewhere & the Macro factors which are now in play! However, Europe, the USA & Japan have already moved past the point of no return and because of issues relating to Demographics, Peak Energy, Peak Debt & Climate Change, they are already on an irreversible Economic slide downhill, which is set to last several decades, at least! To impose a general AUS-terity program on those Economies, at this point in the game, would be akin to throwing kerosene onto a fire to put in out. However, that is being done, that will be done & YOU WOULD ALSO DO IT, but it IS STILL AN IDIOTIC MOVE & IT WILL EXACERBATE (make worse) THE DECLINE THAT THESE COUNTRIES WILL EXPERIENCE!!! A dose of general AUS-terity, as distinct from a very specific bunch of measures in Australia, would also act to make our situation worse than it may otherwise be, as it would act to exacerbate a Declining Demand for Goods & service, which is coming anyway, due to the above Macro factors & the worsening Global situation.

So, in short, there is only one option, but no one wants it happening "on their watch", so they are busily trying to kick the can, further down the road. Problem is, that can not continue and when TSHTF, this time really will be different! Btw, your assertions about me & Nedwin are like your thoughts on Economics, they are simply WRONG! |

but you are STILL saying they must reduce debt AND increase spending. despite all your waffle, you ahve still not answered how that is possible. and btw. you should look up on the meaning of 'default'. Greeces HASNT defaulted. |

Debt does not exist - it is a lie and it has nothing to do with the fact that we will not work under subhuman conditions for the Government under any circumstances or accept the burden of their stupidity and economic mismanagement. Bad unstable, insecure Government must not be submitted to. 8-)

Tony Abbot will lead the most Radical Interventionist Red Communist Government in Australias history - he wants to tell you what to think, how to think it and when to think it, he wants to abolish job security and stability completely, he wants to be able to hire and fire you at will, be wants to be able to control your finances - tell you what to spend, how to spend it and when to spend it. So remember, when we get rid of the current bunch of ratbags in the Temple of Idols and Devils in Canberra, there is another bunch of frothing at the mouth loons just itching to get their hands on power and destabilize and play god with our lives. So be ready for class war, because after the next election it is on - the battle for sovereignty and liberty of the Australian mind and conscience.
The Next PM Of Australia...? :D :o :o ::) |

You reckon? Abbott wins the next election no matter who wins tomorrow. Abbott has a mandate to rescind carbon tax, stop illegal immigrants and if Bob Brown tries to block that legislation, Abbott will ram a DD up his backside so hard it'll leave Bob running away with his tail between his fishnet pantihose. |

Abbott has no mandate by Green supporters and Labor wont vote for anything Abbott puts up after his unprofessional performance over the last few yrs. In short, if Abbott wants another election a few mths after he gets in and risk even more Greens getting into the Senate...good for him. But one thing is for certain, Green voters are not going to suddenly become hardline ultra conservatives and flock to the Libs in the event of a DD. Abbott is going to have to follow Julia and negotiate with the Greens for many years to come. Why do neo cons think a DD would favour them? They'll get all the votes they are ever going to get at the next election..it aint ever gonna get any better so they better make the most of it. |

What makes you possibly think the Greens would win a DD on the carbon tax? It's almost universally hated, with the vast majority of Australians against it. All Abbott needs to do to win the next election is announce one policy and put his feet up - rescind the carbon tax. That one policy alone will be enough to decimate Labor and the Greens, along with the idiotic band of Independents who put them there in the first place! |

you really dont get what a MANDATE is, do you? it isnt something that YOU agree with, it is something the majority agrees with. Greens of course, don get that concept. |

the greens vote is LOWER now than at the last election. that certianly doesnt translate into MORE seats (unless you are thinking like Greens_lose who has brought as such classics as the NSW election being 'a bad result' for the coalition') |
