Courtesy of the Seven Network, ReachTEL offers what is perhaps a note of insight into the tone of panic that has been emerging lately from the Campbell Newman campaign, with no sign of the late-campaign surge that powered him to victory in Ashgrove in 2012. Labor’s lead has in fact increased from 53-47 in the January 13 poll to a formidable 54-46, from primary votes of 46.5% from Labor’s Kate Jones (down 1.1%), 42.3% for Newman (down 1.4%) and 8.2% for the Greens, up a solid 2.8%. The poll was conducted yesterday by automated phone polling from a sample of 861; full results here.
I love the idea of Cando as a diplomat.
You could send him to Antarctica and he would pick a fight with the penguins.
I only found out about the leader’s GST musings this morning. As ever the coverage is devoted to making whatever a Labor figure said the issue. And we just know, don’t we, that Campbell knows the rate but has more important things to do than tell us.
P.S.
Didn’t Howard miss something like that during the last days of his PMship, when interviewed by Tracy Grimshaw? No big deal at all, according to those who now reckon Anastasia’s not fit & proper.
