Labor’s two-point gain in last fortnight’s Essential Research poll has proved to be an aberration, with the latest result snapping back to 52-48. This is matched by the primary votes, on which the Coalition is up two to 38% and Labor down two to 35% (we will have to wait for the full report later today to see how the minor parties have gone). According to The Guardian’s report, the poll also finds 50% favouring Labor’s tax policy over the Coalition, with the result for the latter not stated, except of course that it’s lower; 79% supporting the first stage of the government’s tax cuts, targeting lower and middle income earners, but only 37% for stage three, whereby the tax scales will be flattened to the advantage of higher income earners; support and opposition for company tax cuts tied at 39% apiece; support for higher finding for the ABC, though we will have to wait for hard data on which areas of the broadcaster’s activities were most favoured.
Other questions relate to international matters, with 35% responding that the North Korea summit would make the world safer, 8% less safe, and 41% no difference. On foreign leaders, Justin Trudeau (up nine on last year) and Jacinda Ardern (on debut) both scored 54% approval, and if I’m reading this correctly, Theresa May scored 42% (up nine) and Donald Trump 22% (up six) – I believe other leaders will have been canvassed as well, but further results will have to wait.
UPDATE: Full results from Essential here – the Greens are up one to 11%, and One Nation down one to 7%. Further international leadership approval ratings include a 43% for Angela Merkel, unchanged on last year, 42% for Emmanuel Macron, up one, 19% for Vladimir Putin, up three, and, if you could credit it, 9% for Kim Jong-Un. Fortuitously, this comes as the Lowy Institute publishes results of a survey of 1200 respondents on Australian attitudes to the world, which similarly finds high levels of confidence for Theresa May and Emmanuel Macron, and low ones for Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un.
Also out today is further results from the Newspoll in The Australian, finding Malcolm Turnbull favoured by 47% as best leader to handle the asylum seeker issue (down five from December) and Bill Shorten on 30% (up two). It also finds 26% expecting Labor will “improve the policy”, 37% that it will “open the floodgates”, and 24% that it will make no difference.

Bullshit.
None of that is a rule of any kind.
Anyone can chip in their two bob’s worth, they do not (and should not need to be) invited.
Nor need they be welcome. Tough titties if you don’t find another poster’s comments welcome. Deal with it.
Nor do they have to be relevant. Lots of posts are irrelevant, yours (and mine, and many others) on occasion also.

It’s a lot better reaction than getting upset with the irrationality of it all. Clearly mothers do not bring up their sons correctly. Can’t blame men for that.
Statistically there will have been another murder since Eurydice Dixon got killed. It will probable have been a male that got killed; he will probable not have been walking alone in a park ; the second line will be domestic violence and a women; not my fault. I’m in the group who told my daughter to pick her friends and partners with a little care, tried to convince her to get an education so she was independent; I am so sorry for being a male trying to guide my female child. I told my male and female children not to put themselves in dangerous situations; I am so sorry for not pretending life is all sweetness and grace. And in out little corner of the world my rule was the same as my mothers; you do not hit girls.
If there was a murder it definitely didn’t make front page news for days; that it seems is reserved for for pretty young girls who get killed walking alone at night; statistically very unlikely; perhaps that is why it is news.

Trump replaces White House photos of French president with framed pictures of Kim Jong-un
President Donald Trump’s White House has reportedly removed several photographs of French President Emmanuel Macron and replaced them with framed photos of North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un.
Wall Street Journal reporter Michael C. Bender confirmed on Monday that photos of the president of France, one of Americans longest standing allies, were removed from a wall in the White House’s West Wing.

Bill O’Reilly viciously turns on Trump: He ‘will not win’ immigration fight — and ‘should reverse course today’
Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, an ardent defender of Donald Trump, slammed the president’s immigration policy of separating families and argued that the administration “should reverse course today.”
In a series of tweets on Monday, O’Reilly became the latest Trump defender to turn on the president.
“The government should know how bad this looks and how innocent children are actually suffering,” O’Reilly wrote. “The Trump administration will not win on this one and it should reverse course today.”

The beauty of this blog is the diversity of views, to be honest i find some abhorent and also find some of the nastiness and one upmanship boring. But i have been reading it for about a decade and respect William and his handling of discussion, he should not have to be involved as much.
The skill of reading / listening needs to develop, this blog can soon end up like anything on news ltd.
Yep i know if i don’t like it take off, i like others need to ease up on the defensiveness and righteousness .
I should add Puffytmd, In my little corner of the world the only person I know that has had difficulties with being beaten up by a stranger was a male and it was in the CBD; but in out little corner of the world if you want to go walking alone at night to reflect (not an unreasonable desire in my view) you do it across the back paddock where the biggest risk is a fox. Cites are dangerous; man is the top predator.

Greg Jericho writes that underemployment, which mostly measures part-time workers who want to work more hours, was long seen as a second-order issue. But as the wages of all workers struggle to rise by more than inflation, the level of underemployment has become in some ways more important than unemployment – and it is an issue that is widespread across genders and areas of the country. And it’s holding wages down.

Morning all. Lizzie I was just about to post that link to the story on the physical brawl at a Liberal Party meeting. Their tolerance of alternative views is once more well on display. The Liberal Party is being ruined by a violently aggressive group of hardline right wing fanatics.
This from the mob who complain about “thuggish unions”! And they want to run the country? Also, stealing and destroying the mobile phones of witnesses is a crime, so I trust the NSW police are investigating.
This reinforces Scout’s comments above. To paraphrase the old saying, Liberal Party goons may break my bones, but words typed on pollbludger will never hurt me.
Finally, for now, because I don’t think I own the blog, I just want to say I love it and would be lost without it. So, so what if I come here every day? I thought that was the point? Come here and talk about politics and whatever. I was unaware there was a timekeeper and scorekeeper doing the stats on us!

Some of the men on this forum have not got involved because by the time they caught up to the front of the thread it was apparent that it had been many hours since the discussion had been sensible or productive, and that any contribution on their part would be ignored by the protagonists and achieve nothing.
The protagonists in this discussion stopped listening to each other hours ago and are now just exchanging insults. They may be very amused, the rest of us are bored by it. An opportunity to have an open discussion about a very serious matter has been lost.
Plenty of involvement with some strong ‘i’m right’ posts – no doubt.

Please tell the men on this blog specifically how they are supposed to organise these reforms?
The same way we organise everything else! Quite obviously, men are not powerless. We can start by having properly towards each other. Then we can take the next steps, which are to listen to the victims of violence and discrimination and find ways to both avert them and heal the injuries they bring.
This should be done for the sake of our sisters, our mothers and daughters, our wives and lovers. But it should also be done for the sake of our sons and brothers as well as ourselves. Violence afflicts us all and demands a common response.
Violence is implicitly about power relations. We must understand this and we must not only temper the use of power, we must share it. This is true with respect to organised, official power; and it is true with respect to informal, social and familial power; and this needs to be reflected in our law as well as our culture.
I doubt that steve777, calling it heinous is spot on
Great post briefly
frednk
The people doing the beating up, the one you’re crossing paddocks at night to avoid, are they male or female?
The issue isn’t just pretty young women getting raped and murdered (although you think that would be something to take a little seriously) it’s male violence. Which can also be directed at men.
So you’d also live in a safer world if the issue was tackled, which might be a nice thing.
This is sooo like the climate change debate – people don’t want to think that their way of life has led to bad consequences – or John Howard on the apology – why should he apologise for something he wasn’t responsible for? (which was not what it was about, of course).
Admitting there is an issue with male violence is not an admission of guilt or of personal responsibility.
Thanks BK. On China, I realy wish Bishop and others would stop painting them as a bogeyman. I have no wish to see Australia fight a war with them. They have serious problems with human rights and corruption. So does the United States. They also threaten bankrupt countres they loan money to. So do US banks. Read what happened to all the Latin and South American countries that borrowed from USA in the 70s. I would prefer that we had a foreign policy more independent of both.

Do you call out your mates’ misogynist views? Do you listen when women talk about our experiences with gendered violence and resist the urge to explain them back to us or tell us we’re wrong?
Do you insist on carrying 50 per cent of the domestic workload at home, and track whether or not this is actually happening? Do you do your equal share of the parenting? Do you talk to your sons about consent and respect?’

‘ An opportunity to have an open discussion about a very serious matter has been lost.’
I agree.
IMO, the opportunity was lost the moment some posters carelessly or perhaps deliberately started accusatory sentences with ‘Men…’ in the sense of ‘all men’.
Some of the men objected to accusations against them. The accusations ranged from being lumped with rapists and murderers, through to accusations that they aided and abetted rapists and murderers by their silence, through to accusations that they were not concerned about the issues of respect for women.
When those men objected they were rounded upon as if the issue was all about them, that they did not care, that they were selfish, etc, etc, etc. In other words the men who spoke up in self defence against some very scurrilous accusations were damned if they did, and damned if they did not. The result, IMO, there was a lot of pointless blame gaming which, one way or another, wasted most of the energy on Bludger last night in terms of moving anything useful in the right direction.
There were some very confused (IMHO) discussions about safety in public and private places as it applies to men and women.
Apart from that, there was the usual joy of the fight among some posters who got down and dirty with each other.
Did the earth move for them? I don’t know and I don’t really care.

In the past, when I’ve objected to the designation ‘man’ to be used to describe all humans, I’ve been told that it’s a generic term.
