A shift to Labor over the previous three weeks has been blown away and then some in the latest BludgerTrack poll aggregate, which has the Coalition up 1.5% on two-party preferred and gouges a further nine from Labor’s already feeble showing on the national seat projection (three seats from New South Wales plus one from each other state plus the combined territories result). The damage was done entirely by this week’s 58-42 Newspoll result, which is visible as the most recent outlier in the charts on the sidebar. The results from weekly pollsters Essential Research and Morgan were both consistent with a 55-45 trend that’s showed no real sign of budging since February. Another feature of the result is that the Greens have fallen to their lowest ebb this term.

If nothing else we are expanding the PB vocabulary this afternoon.
SBS 6.00pm headline:
[Kevin Rudd supporters step up pressure for a leadership challenge]

And the RW know it alls will have to capitulate to the reform of the Party.

Morgan has a rather unilluminating phone poll on potential support for the KAP, PUP and Wikileaks party.]
Imagine the federal voting intentions will be available tomorrow then?
If they have gone to the trouble of doing a phone poll just to ask “Who would you consider voting for?”, then Morgan is more stupid than I had previously thought.

Nicely put.
Watching the Channel 10 news tonite, it’s clear that a return to Rudd would translate to more votes.

What hyperlink in 1706 ? I see nothing
@Mod Lib/1711
Why would you question the wording, if your party is in the lead ?
Interesting to hear a caller to 2GB this afternoon to Ben Fordham’s show say that Rudd has effiminate mannerisms “like a poufter”.
Fordham said he didn’t think Rudd was homosexual, but that he was more like a “poonce”.
Lovely types on 2GB.

Which many of us have stated from the time of the coup!

That’s encouraging – I can see it though so I’ll run a complete scan regardless

Rudd had em eating out of their hands, not even the return of Gary Ablett Jnr could generate the same amount of hysteria that Rudd did in Corio this afternoon.

They have asked who would you “consider” voting for, not who do you “intend” to vote for in the election.
I would consider voting for Pauline Hanson, then about 1 microsecond later I will decide against it.
The question is meaningless.
@two bob’s worth/1717
So when the new coup?
poroti
Or DLP they are both the same as each other!
zoidlord@1723
Sometime before 14/09 ?

You arguing Bob Meguires case?

What, no sandwiches thrown at Rudd?

It won’t be coup it will be a handover!

In 2GB land people with edjamacation are very suspect. Liberal gay commie Marxist muzzo bastards the lot of them. The common sense of slack jawed yokels being much preferred.

@Mod Lib/1722
So you know how others on PB feel when odd questions appear on Polling results.
@Yesiree Bob/1724
Can’t give more definite answer?
That’s a wide birth right there.
Reid:
In 1900 Reid gave a 2 hour speech in Sydney Town Hall on federation. At the end it was still inclear whether he was for it or against and he was subsequently called ‘yes no Reid’
Reid was a massive man, well over 20 stones. Towards the end of the speech an interjector referring to Reid’s gut said “what are you calling the baby, George?”
He replied ” if it was a boy I would call it George, if it was a girl, I would call it Victoria BUT as it is all piss and wind I am going to call it after you”
It is hard to imagine a modern politician saying that.

You were right

Big surprise. News Limited Scribe
Oakeshott@1730 – thanks for that, I’ve spent years trying to remember who said that. 😀
Zoidlord @1729, speculation on Channel 10 said during the next sitting of parliament.
Went to a conference in Brisbane yesterday & today – opened by Qld Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie. Had no idea he’s only 31. Didn’t reflect deep understanding of the requirements of his portfolio.

[It is hard to imagine a modern politician saying that.]
It’s also hard to imagine a “modern” audience member asking that. That said it was a ripper answer 🙂
[Rudophiles – your hero is on ABC24.]
Please tell me — how’s his voice cadence?
[ It is well-known that telephone polls produce a higher result for the party ‘expected to win’ Government – now the Coalition!]

Bloody hell. The Qld AG is the same age as Matilda the winking kangaroo.
@Yesiree Bob/1738
Whens next sitting ? lol I don’t keep up with the Parliament as much you guys do.
I do however, want to see Coalition Party back where they belong for another term.

Thank you for your excellent explanation – you have a much higher tolerance for stupidity than I have!
mimhoff – rhythmic, I am here to help myself. 😀
[Didn’t reflect deep understanding of the requirements of his portfolio.]
Mark McArdle thinks the same thing, how Bleijie got the job is a mystery to more senior lawyers in the LNP.
Zoidlord, week after next apparantly.
Dear oh dear
Is it better to have our arsehole rather than their arsehole that would appear to be the current question
