Title: Will 'Bigjobs" Bishop lose endorsement?

Link.


Quote:
The prospects aren’t good for Bronwyn Bishop in the coming election, with a new poll suggesting extremely high chances she’ll lose her seat if she runs.

In fact, if she does manage to get selected as the Liberal Party’s candidate for Mackellar, she may find herself losing to Dick Smith.

A News Corp survey of the electorate has revealed that only 21 per cent would choose Ms Bishop.

However, if Dick Smith chooses to run as an independent in Mackellar (as he has threatened to do should Bishop be pre-selected), a comparatively enormous 54 per cent would be willing to give him their primary vote.

69 per cent of those surveyed believed Bishop should retire. 52 per cent said they would vote Liberal if she did not run.

It’s clear Bishop is still suffering from the fallout of last year’s “ChopperGate” scandal, in which she took a $5,000 taxpayer-funded helicopter ride to attend a party function, ultimately causing her to step down as Speaker.

Bishop will be facing pre-selection ballot on April 16, and if these numbers are anything to go by, the chances seem strong that the Liberals will choose a safer candidate.


Silly old bint!

There are probably enough aspiring billionaires up there who still hold to the imaginary belief that they will become such by adhering to the skirts of those are successfully ripping off this country.....

I'd like to see Dick Smith get up...

To put it in one of Abbott's favourite slogans, "Ditch the _____".

Another lib not contesting is Sharman Stone - well known for being in conflict with Abbott over SPC - in fact, called him a liar.  Of course she failed to get anything for her electorate - it took the Vic gov to help out SPC to save jobs.
