Newspoll brings us a well-timed result of Victorian state voting intention, this being the usual bi-monthly result for July-August with a sample of 1144 respondents. It has Labor moving into the lead with 51-49 on two-party preferred, reversing the result of the last poll, from primary votes of 41% for the Coalition (down two), 38% for Labor (up three) and 13% for the Greens (up one). Personal ratings find Denis Napthine losing some honeymoon gloss, up five on disapproval to 31% and steady on approval at 53%. Daniel Andrews meanwhile is up three on approval to 38% and down two on disapproval to 32%, although Napthine’s lead as preferred premier is essentially unchanged at 47-25, compared with 49-26 last time. Full tables from GhostWhoVotes.
Here’s how the full gamut of this term’s polling – 12 Newspolls and five ReachTELs – looks after being run through the BludgerTrack meat-grinder:
Poor baby sean is getting very flustered now, see in space of 3 comments (despite guidance the other day) he still refers to the GG as Shorten’s mummy, he didn’t know the date of the election, has no idea of constitution re GG appointment or dismissal.
Poor little darling probably has lost his job at Menzies House no need for nut cases anymore and he has no help whatever so making even more stupid comments :devil:

When Tones was first wheeled out as a pollie the Sunday(?) program did a puff piece on him. During it he told of being assigned to the seminary infirmary. It has really stuck in my memory because of his telling of how shocked he was at the “malingering” of so many patients in the infirmary. It sounded more like jesus telling of how he cleared out the money lenders from the temple. Obviously it was important to Tony as he chose to tell us about it but humanity ? I don’t think so.
Past midday and not a peep from AEC in Fairfax.

How many degrees cooler was Labors 5% cut to Australian emissions making?
We dont know exactly, but some: only a joint international effort can reel in dangerous AGW, and if you dont contribute, you become an walking excuse for others not to as well. Part of the problem, not the solution.
The better question is how much temperatures will rise as a result of failing to contribute.
——————————————————–
A better question or measure is “How much less carbon that contributes to climate change is Australia pumping into the atmosphere?”
People like Sean are a blot of society.
To stupid to understand that doing something no matter how small is better than doing nothing
Talk about fast – just went to the parlinfo site to search for one of Mirabella’s past speeches, and it already has her replaced by McGowan!
WILLIAM
WHY DONT U BAN SEAN USING THE WORD/ KNIFE
DISRESPECT FOR THE HEAD OF STATE,
IS DISREPECT FOR HER MAJESTY ALSO
IT S YOUR DUTY TO NOT ALLOW HIM TO SPEAK IN THAT MANNER I WOULD OF THOUGHT
SEEMS THE LIBS USE VIOLENT WORDS
WORDS FAIL ME
Sean
Liberal appointed former Liberal politicians
and that is OK….hypocrisy is what I call your comments about the current GG
But then I am not surprised you are such a dill
that is the very first time ive read any thing from the liberal
sean,,, next thing he will calling for all labor voters to be exiled or sent to prison,
to use the word {knife } must be an offence surely
It never ceases to amaze me how little Australians know about the workings of their own government when it is so bleeding easy to find facts.
Wikipedia explains the way the GG is chosen. It has nothing to do with the parliament. Tony Abbott will choose someone, the Queen will be advised and she’ll sign off on it. That’s it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor-General_of_Australia
The conventional term of a GG is five years. Quentin Bryce was appointed in 2008 and in October 2012 Julia Gillard extended her term until March 2014. Abbott will not reappoint her. As it takes a few months to work through the appointment process Abbott will have to name her successor very soon. Brace yourselves for an abysmal choice – he’s keen on Grandpappy Howard and Peter Cosgrove. Cosgrove has said he doesn’t want the job. That means…….
Found what I wanted —
asked to withdraw after calling Roxon a ‘feminist hypocrite, Mirabella’s response —
…this is the woman feminists are defending against supposedly misogynist attacks!
Justin Madden seems incapable of speaking through the chair in parliament. (Well, this is a Vic thread.)
zoomster, that would seem premature because the AEC has not formally declared the seat yet.
lizzie it sort of anger and despair rolled in to one
and that a person here cannot see what happening to the country
i see abbott as a revenge person i said he would take away every labor thing he could and JG policies .
i it a power and hate game see the first things he does and follow that ,,
love him to try medi care and PBS
we know of some one giving evidence at the royal commission
i mentioned will that go
the response was he had better not try that one
well i do believe he will quietly with draw funds
Palmer now 18 votes behind.
Tom 1b
I think the people have voted with their feet
he had better not try to bring back
god save the queen
imagine that at the footy grand final
Interesting response from Liam Kenny regarding Chasers depiction of his father Chris Kenny.

Sophie..
Awwwwww
BK my heart bleeds for you
Witch warning.
How did a Carlton player end up in ALP?
Who are the two atheists?
I can still speak Victorian
The way people carry on about the thread makes you wonder how they would cope if there was ever a Liberal Government running the country.
Makes you wonder what would have happened if Essendon, Hird etc hadn’t caved….

This would have to be a record for posts on a state thread.
Diogs,
Clears the arena for ASADA and WADA to weave their magic.
Come on Clive.. lift your game big fellah.
hypcracy….wrong – hypo inadequate
cracy
1:form of government; also : state having such a form
2: social or political class (as of powerful persons)
3: theory of social organization
GG
Surprisingly there hasn’t been a rush of applicants to be Hird’s seat-warmer. They’re runing away from it as fast as they can.
I loved the Sheedy option.
Why thank you
Diogs,
They could always bring back Matthew Knights!
GG – must be a hoot around the Kenny table at Christmas.
mike,
Finger food only I suspect.
Regrettably, Quentin Bryce will not be re-appointed as GG.
Her term expires in March.
She is almost certain to be replaced by Peter Cosgrove, an old mate of Howard’s, a hardened Tory to boot, and a Queen’s man.
Does that make you feel better, Sean?
see who misses out on real jobs first …Brisbane…Melbourne assistant/ Roos rookie…any other teams renovating this year?
Lets be fair, for once Sean is right. Only under Labor could this happen. After all we all know there’s no chance of abbots Libs appointing a mother in law or any other kind of woman to the GGship.
Kinkajou,
West Coast, GWS, and Essendon. Leon cameron has ben appointed at GWS and Craig is the front runner at Brsibane.
I’d heard Neale Daniher at Essendon and then I heard he was ill.
Brendan Nelson NPC praising Labor governance
lizzie @ 291: I think it was Lee Hays who said that if it wasn’t for the honour, he’d just as soon not have been blacklisted.
Palmer now 18 behind?
NOOOOOO
Think how much enjoyment I will be deprived if Palmer fails to score a seat at his first attempt compared to the Greens who took like 6 decades to win Loon Central 🙁
so abbott has said we now swear allegence to the queen
so is that god save the queen at footy finals
i hope so because no one under 65 would stand up
Abbot now has his “precious” and it will be up to us to remove it from him. We have three years.
@jessradio: The new US Amb. to Oz is an openly gay conservationist who had a lion cub named after him. Watch his video message: http://t.co/KSqWSWzpaW

I’d heard Mark Harvey for Essendon. Another assistant coach, Sean Wellman, has quit the club as well.
o is there still posters on the essential area?
Kevin Bonham now projects a Palmer loss by 2 votes (which he concedes is “utterly meaningless”, so it’s still a toss-up).
