Newspoll retains its comatose form in its latest fortnightly result, with Labor steady on 37%, the Coalition down a point to 35%, the Greens steady on 10% and One Nation steady on 9%, and Labor’s two-party lead unchanged on 54-46. Malcolm Turnbull’s personal ratings have worsened, down one on approval to 31% and up three on disapproval to 59%, while Bill Shorten is respectively down one to 32% and up one to 56%, with Turnbull’s lead as preferred prime minister at 41-33.

It feels like an eternity for me. Remember I had convinced myself that Trump wouldn’t even make it to inauguration cos the evidence of his treason was clear cut. still believe they had all the evidence way back then.

Yep. Sounds like what they’ll say but Malone is the type to loudly defend his point. He seems to be saying the old network is still available.
NBN Co are eventually going to have to come back and connect the house anyway and you’d think if they could leave people connected to the old network while they got it sorted that many of the complaints they’re are getting would be much less ‘news worthy’.
AM embedding in campaign is fair as long as they embed for same time in campaign for other candidates.
Thats the balance the ABC will have to give. Formal legal period or not. They have this Fair and Balanced legislation to abide by now
Very sad.
Very old humans behave in a similar fashion, refusing food and drink and finally just drifting away.
Thank you.

Pretty poor for Barnaby if he has to go ask his own parents to vote for him.

Eggleton has always come across as a strange sort of person to me.
So what he’d find news worthy is equally strange to me.

Some MSM drone was with Barnaby and his mum and dad for a ‘private’ discussion which was promptly spread over the air waves.

Doesn’t everyone bring a random reporter in tow on a visit to mum and dad’s to conduct “private” discussions?
Mind you, I wonder if the reporter will accompany him when he makes that visit to have that “private” discussion with his wife…

I expect there must have been some preparation for filming Barnaby’s parents – like making sure his father had a full set of vowels available for use and wasn’t wearing an ‘All Blacks’ jumper.

WA Labor should jump on this girl and mentor her.
Me thinks, with her obvious courage, integrity and intelligence, she would be a very positive addition to Labor and the Young Labor movement.
Duncraig Senior High School student Grace Gouldstone will deliver a letter today to principal Stephen Spice explaining why she is returning the “Ian Goodenough award for positive attitude and contribution to the school” presented to her on Thursday.
“I feel strongly that the sponsor of the award, Ian Goodenough MP, does not support the values of that particular award and does not reflect the values of our school as a positive and inclusive environment, promoting equality for all,” she wrote. “As such, I reject his award.”
Grace, 17, said she was honoured to be considered a worthy recipient but believed Mr Goodenough’s actions undermined the integrity of the award.
“Mr Goodenough publicly voted No for the same-sex marriage postal vote and to me this does not reflect the positive beliefs of valuing diversity, inclusivity and most especially equality,” she said. “There are students at our school, my friends, who have a very wonderful and positive future ahead of them in same-sex relationships. I will not accept a community award sponsored by a person who will not allow them to marry in the future.”

In this case the member does have an unfortunate surname, “Goodenough”. Many a joke can be made.
Barnaby will probably use his visit to his parents to make statements like, “The response I get from doorknocking in the electorate has been extraordinary! The voters just love me.”

Ta. That makes sense.
You are doing it as a link thing rather than a “:aaa:” invoked thing.

I assume that the ‘cut connection’ tradies are working to a different schedule (separate section) to the ‘turn it on’ ones.
Going off ABC coverage Barnaby Joyce has about 90% of the primary vote sewn up. After all, he is doing ‘a good job’.
The constituents certainly did not want to vote for that wicked Tony Windsor.

I had a quick nosy at Pirelli P7 prices.
For the standard C series size 225/50R16 92V the P7’s are around the $175 point.
But there’s lots of other decent recognisable brands in the $130-150 price range.
…and no country person I know talks like Barnaby – all that ‘you know when it’s time to hang up the saddle’ faux-folksy stuff…

It really doesn’t matter who is or who isn’t indicted, Mensch will proclaim herself a genius anyway.
I’m not going to give her any traffic and visit her site, but here’s a list of people I’ve compiled as being contenders for the indictments due tomorrow (our time), and some to come in the future:
Let me know how closely (or not) it compares with the self proclaimed genius.
Donald Trump Sr
Donald Trump Jr
Eric Trump
Ivanka Trump
Jared Kushner
Mike Flynn Sr
Mike Flynn Jr
Paul Mannafort
Reince Priebus
Sean Spicer
Mike Pence
Boris Epshteyn
Michael Cohen
Jeff Sessions
Mitch McConnell
Paul Ryan
The Republican Party as a whole
Steve Bannon
Rex Tillerson
Steve Mnuchin
Betsy DeVos
Erik Prince
Blackwater (now Academi)
Devin Nunes
Jason Chafetz
Carter Page
Dana Rohrabacher
Robert Mercer
Rebekah Mercer
Alexander Nix
Cambridge Analytica
Julian Assange/Wikileaks
Nigel Farage (he’s up to his neck in all of this)
My #1 tip for indictment tomorrow though is Felix Sater.
PS Just like Mensch, I don’t have any “inside sources”. I’ve just compiled that list from publicly available information – from The Guardian, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, Mother Jones, Politicusa, Bill Palmer, and many others. And yes, I actually have been keeping notes.

You have been keeping notes. Lol! Sean Hannity and Rudy Giuliani should be included.

Of course Farage is in up to his neck. He was found leaving Ecuador embassy and was evasive when asked about his visit. Obviously was visiting the prick Assange
DG
I watched a bit of US network news over the weekend and most are saying Manafort or Flynn.
Either or both are probably wishful thinking by them ‘cos they’d maximise the news coverage possibilities.
More likely I’d reckon is some one a lot less well known.

You have 18 months from the point the area is provisioned (goes live) to move to NBN. My area was provisioned in January and we are still waiting to go live. I have asked questions all over the place. The latest is that that they will come back here in May 2018 – just before the 18months expires.
If they leave the area without services there would be homes, businesses, a kindergarten, a petrol station and a fire station without phone services if the area extends as I think it does.
There is even talk that this whole Trump Imbroglio will facilitate the redoing of the Brexit vote. Who knows how this whole shit show will play out.
