Sarah Henderson needs something positive to say about the LNP in her marginal seat,

HirdMentality · March 22, 2019, 12:12pm

Is “don’t read the fine print” considered positive for the LNP these days?

Albert_Thurgood · March 22, 2019, 12:43pm

It always was.

Do you not remember “Honest” Johnny’s “that was a non-core promise” election?

Or even twenty years before that, the Libs’ “fistful of dollars” election bribe that failed to materialise after they were re-elected?

Or any of a zillion other broken “promises” by them?

Morrison says Sally McManus attends Labor shadow cabinet meetings, McManus says she has never attended one.
Morrison probably got it confirmed by Greg Hunt.

Alan_Noonan_10 · March 23, 2019, 12:51am

So why is Sally McManus attending Labor meetings worse than IPA bigwigs attending Liberal meetings?

IPA should be declared a terrorist organisation.

I love sally mcmanus

Bacchusfox · March 23, 2019, 5:28am

Me too !

I’m volunteering for the #changetherules campaign thanks to her.

How is the NSW election looking?

If NSWLabor can’t win this then they have some serious issues, either with themselves or the NSW electorate

Alan_Noonan_10 · March 23, 2019, 5:57am

What is that?

Tighter than that.
Major MSM going for Gladys. Costello on the Board of C9 which owns Fairfax.
Nats results could be the most interesting and determinative of outcome. Some of their seats under threat from independents , shifting them more to the centre, whereas LNP in Queensland going in the opposite direction.

Tough election for Labor to win. NSW Labor hasn’t exactly been a great united Team recently, but it will be close.

tinhillterror · March 23, 2019, 8:44am

Hasn’t the leader only been in the job for a few weeks/months?

bigallan · March 23, 2019, 9:06am

Anthony Green can’t call for Gladys just yet. His system seems to have trouble with the high Independent vote but blaming it on a slow count.

jonovdp · March 23, 2019, 9:12am

Still a lot of counts to come.
But it looks to be a close loss to the ALP.

Heffsgirl · March 23, 2019, 9:15am

Voting against your best interests. When will people learn.

jonovdp · March 23, 2019, 9:27am

The preference votes are killing Labor.

It’s neck and neck in the primary vote between Labor and Liberal

bigallan · March 23, 2019, 9:28am

Shooters doing OK, could win Murray

BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS · March 23, 2019, 9:32am

Not unhappy if the voters don’t get their pound of Lib flesh in NSW and feel sated in their protest.

Much better if they feel cheated out of it this time, so they fully vent their spleen in the Fed poll in a few months.
