Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

This isn't the first time that a poll has shown Kooyong is in play: Kooyong poll: is Frydenberg in trouble?

Kooyong has been contested at every Federal election since 1901. The seat has only had seven members in 118 years including Sir Robert Menzies. Only once has an MP lost their seat, during a conservative split in the 1920s. All other Kooyong MPs retired from politics. It has always been held by right-of-centre parties and never been held by Labor. It currently has a 13.3% margin. It is the Liberal Party's safest seat in Victoria; the only Coalition seats on larger margins are three regional seats held by the National Party.

Kooyong being in play as a possible Labor gain shows the Coalition are in some serious trouble in Victoria. This is the electoral consequence for neglecting Victoria as badly as this government has done.

Quote:
The deputy leader, Josh Frydenberg, could ... be one of 11 Victorian Liberal MPs to lose their seat in the upcoming election.


The Liberals have 13 Victorian seats and the Nationals have three. For almost all of those seats to be in trouble would be political Armageddon if it happened.

Consecutive PM's who are Sydney-centric all adds up.

Will Bill be able to govern all of Australia or just for Vic?  So far he hasn't seem to bias Vic much.

Fresh from Victorian election victory, Daniel Andrews looms as a force in the federal poll

ABC News
January 13 2019


Daniel Andrews romped to victory last November smashing the Liberal Party, cementing himself as the most popular premier in the country and giving him plenty of power to flex against the under-pressure Morrison Government.   Smiley

It did not take long after his victory lap for Mr Andrews to cause problems for the flailing Morrison Government, engaging in a game of brinkmanship on education funding.

The Premier won that stand-off just before Christmas, but what does 2019 hold in store for politics in Victoria — in particular what role does Mr Andrews play in the upcoming federal poll?
In Bill Shorten's corner 

Victoria was problematic for Labor at the last federal election, with the political firestorm over the Premier's handling of the CFA a major distraction for Labor's national campaign.

It was in Victoria where the Liberals, through now-independent Julia Banks, actually won a seat off a surging ALP.

But in the past three years the Coalition has crashed, culminating with the annihilation at the state poll on November 24.   Smiley

With the federal election due in the next five months, some inside Victorian Labor are hoping that Mr Andrews will play a key role in that battle in his home state, especially in inner-city Melbourne.

The relationship between Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and his team and the Premier is collaborative — there were several complementary policies at the state poll and it is this type of relationship that is most likely during the election.

Standing side by side at the same press conference during last year's campaign, Mr Shorten promised funding for 10 hours of kinder, while Mr Andrews promised to fund an extra five hours.

Mr Shorten also announced solar initiatives that leveraged off Victorian Labor solar homes scheme.

Mr Andrews can also cause headaches for the Prime Minister.   

Having already picked and won a fight on education, what other fights may Mr Andrews choose to square up to the Federal Government on?

For a long time, Canberra and Spring Street have bickered over infrastructure, with the state complaining that federal cash for projects does not match Victoria's population. This is sure to remain a hot topic during the campaign.

It is a win-win for the Andrews Government, because deals are likely to be better under a federal Labor government, while it also might force the Coalition to find more cash for Victorian projects in the short-term.   Smiley

The Lefties are looking straight ahead and ignoring the obvious signs that Labor is sliding as voters are faced with the prospect of the WORST "GOVT" in AUSTRALIA's HISTORY.

Likely results are that Labor might get a small majority in the lower house but will be controlled by the Greenies in the Upper House.

So it would be a repeat of the previous WORST "GOVT" in Australia's HISTORY.

Now who wants that and this ?

RESTART the BOATS,
increase power prices 5 to 6 times,
kill pensioners by freezing them to death in winter as they can't afford to turn on a heater,
rob pensioners of their dividend income,
wreck the housing market and create astronomical rent costs,
bring back the carbon tax,
bring illegal invaders into Australia,
encourage union chaos,
rack up $1 trillion debt in just the first 6 months to try to fund their ridiculous unfunded Socialist stupidity,
lose Australia's AAA credit rating, etc

More ludicrous nonsense from the Liberal party's propaganda toilet.

Maybe some mutual obligation on the idle rich will sort you out.

Here's what will happen if the Liberals get in again:

* 200,000 asylum seekers arriving by plane every year
* Increase fuel prices, power prices, by 25 times
* Privatise all the roads in the country so motorists have to pay private corporations $10 a kilometre to travel on roads their taxes already paid for
* Murder all pensioners over the age of 70 and all unemployed Australian workers to save money
* Cut the pay of workers by 50% while companies make massive untaxed profits
* Tax low income earners the hardest by making income tax even more regressive
* Make it illegal to speak out against the government
* Increase the price of housing by 5 times
* Tobacco and alcohol will be banned
* The value of the Australian dollar will fall to 2 US cents
* Make children work for a living instead of getting an education
* Make universities exclusive to the wealthy
* All new construction will be unsafe because building inspectors will be abolished to "cut red tape"
* Solve native title by massacring all Indigenous Australians
