Wonder do swinging voters still scared over people smuggling issue.
The Right Wing media firmly believe this is it...Morrison has won and Bill lost. But playing the fear/panic button - might require a survey to see if it is worth spending electoral resources over this instead of forming policies and promoting them. A negative campaign is a do nothing campaign.
Morrison has been pissing away hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers' money with shonky TV ads promoting his government. Howard did the same thing in 2007.
Also witness the furious masturbation from the rightards about one Ipsos poll.
Quote:While victoria's landslide win was mostly on state issues, the state libs spent time and money on "gang violence" and "crime". ALP trying to win through policy while libs using boats and tax.
The Victorian state election campaign was a little different to the current Federal situation. The Victorian campaign had an incumbent government with a solid record of delivery being resoundingly endorsed for a second term. The Federal campaign will have a government with a much worse record going against an opposition that has demonstrated that it is ready to govern.
Nevertheless, when Labor next wins a Federal election, they will have a very strong mandate because they have announced a lot of policies. Where are the Coalition policies? Cashless "welfare" for old age pensioners, perhaps?
