Coalition ahead of Labor for second straight month
Aug 19th, 2024 at 10:52am
 
Trouble ahead for Airbus Albo and his incompetent ministry...


The government is trailing the Coalition on a two-party-preferred basis for a second consecutive month, according to fresh polling data.

The AFR/Freshwater Strategy poll published on Sunday showed the Coalition ahead by 51 per cent to 49 per cent, reinforcing expectations of a Labor minority government after the next election.

Fifty-nine per cent of the 1061 voters surveyed said they were unhappy with where the country was going — a stark contrast to the 28 per cent that were happy.

Among the government’s worst-performing areas were national security, immigration and crime.

While it was also behind the opposition on economic management and cost of living, the government did narrow the gap in those areas by three and five percentage points.

Anthony Albanese remained preferred prime minister over Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.

The poll was taken at the end of parliament’s first sitting week after the winter break – a week dominated by political blustering on all sides while legislation sat in a constipated senate.

Of COURSE, this all depends on whether
Dutton's Liberals
remember to get their nominations in on time




Quote:
The New South Wales Liberal Party
has "demanded" a week-long extension to lodge nominations for more than 130 council candidates after the party missed the deadline in a
“monumental stuff-up”.


But acting NSW electoral commissioner Matthew Phillips considered the grounds for the request and on Saturday rejected an extension.

But if the
Appalachians
could consider, for a moment, voting for
Trump as POTUS
,
I guess Australia could elect itself any
hard-right random 'chump'
as well

TBH, I'm past caring
I'd set myself a very firm financial base before
Lord Baillieu

- Australia's first ONE TERM premier - was elected

I have substancial savings.
I have no debts.
Not even a mortgage (as of January, 2024)
I have no kid/s futures to worry about.
I can afford to be a patron, monthly donor of
Hepburn Wildlife Rescue.


I know my six-month, two-year, and four year-old pooches
- will always eat better than six-month, two-year, and four year-old children
in the first-world of the future


In FACT, I'm "comfortable enough" to vote for
'the hard-right wing'

- were it not for having a conscience

So on any
sharp swing to the hard right
- on regimes, anywhere - personally, I'm
care factor zero

I've had my share of trying to educate the
brain dead
- or as my late father would say -
"two-bob-millionaires"

I think we can rest easy knowing the federal Libs won't make the same mistake.

They might win, bad for Australian people but many don't care about that.
