This week’s Newspoll result had added 0.3% to Labor’s two-party reading on the BludgerTrack poll aggregate, and added one seat to their national on the seat projection, the gain being in South Australia. The biggest change on the primary vote is an improvement for One Nation, who reversed a weakening trend over the past few months with the latest poll. Newspoll also recorded a weakening in Malcolm Turnbull’s personal ratings, but evidently the aggregate had this priced in already, as the trend results show little changed on last week. As always, full results on the sidebar.
BludgerTrack: 52.7-47.3 to Labor
Following Newspoll, the latest poll aggregate reading washes away the Coalition’s gains from the earlier polling since New Year.
Insiders picked up on Turnbull’s toadyness with Trump on guns.
Martin B is obviously a Liberal agent provacateur. They proliferate during elections. Then they disappear again.
Does anyone have a link to STFU?

Good morning
mpesce: Now doing better in this interview than any other National in all of recorded history, this raises the question of why McKenzie isn’t running for the leadership #insiders

#Breaking House Democrats Intel memorandum is out. Carter Page was so shady the FBI started Investigating well before he was in Steele Dossier. 2013 incident made FBI suspicious. The FISA, his travel & lies to HPSCI even more suspicious.
Lots of polishing of the Barnaby turd by Bridget Mackenzie on Insiders.
I wonder if Barnaby understands the meaning of sexual harassment.

BOOM!! Democratic Memo just released!!!

I’ll sum up the Dem memo since the page is overloaded. Carter Page and the Trump campaign was surveilled well before the FBI even obtained the Steele Dossier.
Nunes is lying and should be charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Thanks Adam Schiff

God this MacKenzie interview!
Note that ReachTEL forces a choice on PPM, don’t know not an option

I don’t agree. Bridget Mackenzie just being a very polished politician in getting out her talking points. I don’t think that is a good thing.
Democratic Rebuttal of G.O.P. Memo
House Democrats made public a heavily redacted memo that was drafted to counter Republican claims of surveillance abuses against a former Trump campaign aide.

She is miles ahead of Joyce in performance. I don’t agree with the polish she is trying to do. I can appreciate her performance in the attempt however.

The ‘narrowning’ has begun 😆
Drawing on Barnaby’s ‘wisdom and experience’. Oh goody!
mpesce: The essential Nats belief is that the 80% of Australians who live in the cities are somehow illegitimate and undeserving and have cheated their way into everything they have. #insiders
At least MacKenzie can enunciates her words. No subtitles needed.
McKenzie is a jumped up Phys Ed teacher.

Nah, he’ll just say that, after the two weeks that the Coalition has had that any other Labor leader would have been ahead of Malcolm Turnbull.
RD is so predictable that way. 🙂

That would be 90%.
Thanks KayJay – You’re a genius.
Those that can, teach.
Those that can’t, go to the Senate.
McKenzie has exactly the same vowels as Michaelia Cash. She’s just much softer in delivery (thank goodness) .

This leaves 12% un-allocated. Assuming most of these are unhappy conservatives the result is about 53/47

Some time ago, Republicans on our committee released a declassified memo that omitted and distorted key facts in order to mislead the public and impugn the integrity of the FBI.
We can now tell you what they left out:

Mr Pesce Futurist is on the money this morning
mpesce: Wow and so the other thing that happened this week is that it was made clear that if any woman makes a private complaint of sexual harassment, that woman will lose her privacy as a result.
Nice going.

Boeufblogginon: #insiders
Who outed the woman who did a #metoo on Barnaby? Who benefits most? It seems to be a warning against any others who may be thinking about following her action.
There is a case for making steel with electricity instead of coal, but please keep in mind that steel-mills are generally more efficient in their use of coal than power plants are.
So while you still have the bulk of your electricity coming from coal-fired power plants, it is counter-productive to instead make steel using electricity. You would end up emitting more C02 than you would if you simply burned the same amount of coal at the steel plant.
Steel-making accounts for about 13% of worldwide coal production. By far the largest use of coal is in electricity generation. The first and most important thing to do to reduce C02 emissions is stop burning coal to make electricity. Especially thermal coal.
And the basis for that assumption is?
Tank9999: #insiders It seems Bridget McKenzie is modelling her deputy Leadership on Julie Bishop
She’ll be a LOYAL DEPUTY to whoever is leader, for as long as they’re leader, no matter what
Do the COALition have a training school for that???
Pin
40mins in and Insiders are still talking about Barnaby.
I didn’t understand MacKenzie when she said that the party room would ‘democratically elect a new leader’, but the said by convention the leadership is not contested as their is a single consensus cand for leader ?
So what is it? A contested, democratic vote for the position, or a negotiated deal with a chosen MP presented as leader?
@ItzaDream
You did better than me. I am sitting in my slightly musty coat on the fast train between the Incheon airport and Seoul. According to receipts in pocket, last warn in Canberra in July last year.

I take the correction 🙂
Boerwar
(Not sure where you are going with this.)
I doubt it.
Even if we still use coal for smelting ore, we can provide carbon offsets. Once we have abundant cheap energy, then new options for carbon sequestration will also open up, to augment the usual biological ones.
There will always be processes that generate greenhouse gases. The issue is to ensure appropriate offsets.
A cancelled parliamentary press card should have a date (December 2016), reason as well as complaints and person responsible for the cancellation.
This could establish who knew what when.
“#ReachTEL Poll Federal Primary Votes: L/NP 33 (-1) ALP 37 (+1) GRN 11 (+1) ON 7 (-1)”
How on earth is Labor only 54-46 on those figures?
Maria Cunningham @ #1795 Sunday, February 25th, 2018 – 9:44 am
Bit silly cryptic of me Maria. I was looking at the Turnbull’s fetching the unpacked dry cleaning from the boot of the car as they climb up the steps for ALL the WAY to the USA, not exactly a classy look for the well healed sophisticated experienced traveller.
Safe travels to you.
