There haven’t been any new polls this week, so the headline to this post isn’t news as such – the point is that a new thread is needed, and this is it. Developments worth noting:
• We do have one new poll, but it was privately conducted and so doesn’t count as canonical so far as BludgerTrack is concerned. The poll in question was conducted by uComms/ReachTEL for Greenpeace last Wednesday from a sample of 2134, and has primary votes of Coalition 38.8%, Labor 36.7%, Greens 9.7% and One Nation 6.1%. A 53-47 two-party split is reported based on respondent-allocated preferences, but it would actually have been around 51.5-48.5 based on preferences from 2016. The poll also features attitudinal questions on carbon emissions and government priorities, which you can read all about here.
• The Greens have landed a high-profile candidate in Julian Burnside, human rights lawyer and refugee advocate, to run against Josh Frydenberg in the normally blue-ribbon Melbourne seat of Kooyong. This further complicates a contest that already featured independent hopeful Oliver Yates, former Liberal Party member and chief executive of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.
• The Liberal preselection to choose a successor to Julie Bishop in Curtin will be determined by a vote of 60 delegates on Sunday. Initial reports suggested the front-runners were Celia Hammond, former vice-chancellor of Notre Dame University, and Erin Watson-Lynn, director of Asialink Diplomacy at the University of Melbourne, which some interpreted as a proxy battle between bitter rivals Mathias Cormann and Julie Bishop. However, both have hit heavy weather over the past week, with concerns raised over Hammond’s social conservatism and Watson-Lynn’s past tweets critical of the Liberal Party. Andrew Tillett of the Financial Review reports that some within the party believe a third nominee, Aurizon manager Anna Dartnell, could skate through the middle.
• Tom Richardson of InDaily reports moderate faction efforts to install a male candidate – James Stevens, chief-of-staff to Premier Steve Marshall – in Christopher Pyne’s seat of Sturt are prompting a slew of conservative-aligned women to nominate against him. These include Deepa Mathew, a manager at the Commonwealth Bank and state candidate for Enfield last year; Joanna Andrew, a partner with law firm Mellor Olsson; and Jocelyn Sutcliffe, a lawyer with Tindall Gask Bentley. However, Stevens remains the “overwhelming favourite”.
The media had to pay for their trips to Christmas Island with ScoMo and learnt nothing.
[Morrison and the Immigration Minister, David Coleman, used the press conference to make several points. There are no children left in detention on Nauru and Manus Island. The government has closed 19 detention centres over five years. Boat arrivals have stopped.
Australians have heard each of these arguments before, usually at no extra charge in a press conference from Parliament House.
…
Morrison did not need the tropical backdrop of Christmas Island to make his case. There are perfectly good palm trees in Sydney.]
https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/christmas-island-tropical-tour-a-waste-of-taxpayer-cash-20190306-p5127q.html
Morrison has gone full on Trump. The Christmas Island visit is a Trump brainfart. Morrison calls himself a ‘brick wall.’
The man is nuts .
All in all, he’s just another prick who thinks he’s a wall.

MORE TROUBLES IN THE NATIONALS
In a bid to make themselves relevant to their constituents ahead of the May election, all six QLD Nationals have found a ‘clean coal’ miner’s rebellious spine and signed a letter of demand which was “obtained by The Australian”.
As Steve here noted early it is expected to “reignite the Coalition’s civil war on energy policy, demanding that Scott Morrison put his shelved “big stick” laws to a vote in budget week and fast-track a decision on the underwriting of a new cleaner coal plant”.
Why now? Well [1] regional Queensland will take some time to recover from the recent flood decimated crops, machinery, infrastructure and live-stock including and especially in the marginal Labor held seat of Herbert (Townsville) so unemployment has escalated in regional QLD and [2] the employment cure-all in regional Queensland is of course for Scomo to sign contracts to underwrite a “cleaner coal plant in regional Queensland” before the election is called.
And so say
Michelle it’s mining Landry of Capricornia 50.6
Ken O Dear of Flynn 51.0
George Coalminers son Dawson 53.4
Llew O where’s Brian of Wide Bay 58.1
Keith coal Pitt of Hinkler 58.4 and the next leader of the Nationals
David Daddy will be proud of Maranoa 67.5
McCormack must have known this letter was coming when he did this train wreck interview with Walid Ali.
https://twitter.com/theprojecttv/status/1103217532457050113.
This will not help the Nationals in NSW in either the State or Federal elections to hold off SFF and Indy’s. It makes sense for the QLD Nationals to put a line the sand ahead in an election period and look like they are dissociating themselves from their Liberal LNP brethren so they can save at some of the furniture and maintain a QLD voice in the post-election Nationals Party. More smoke and mirrors.
Scotty is taking his phoney war not an election campaign up a notch today, with his blue arsed fly scattergun virtual Blue Bus Stunt-a-Thon ™ to Perth..
ScoMoFaux Agenda
12:30 PM
Prime Minister Scott Morrison will tour BAE Systems in Perth followed by an address to the media.
05:30 PM
Prime Minister Scott Morrison will visit a Vietnamese community centre for a multicultural afternoon tea.
09:30 PM

While there is a chance that official interest rates will drop soon, the amount would likely be 25 basis points. However, there is absolutely no guarantee the Banks will pass it on in full. That happening during an election campaign would be a poisonous outcome for the Government..
I hope Labor plaster this one all over Australia as a first shot in the locker.
Maybe, just maybe, the ALP have remembered they are the LABOR party first and foremost and returned to their roots. Its a winner.
Lizzie, good find for Scotty’s new Blue Bus slogan, and nice lead in to his agenda today 🙂
Such language so early in the morning Lizzie, I’m perplexed 😀

Perhaps the point of the “anti-terrorist fence” outside Duttons office is to try and create a perception that he is a victim, and that those attacking him are the real threat to society.
I hope im overthinking it…. if he can turn around his image from someone who terrorizes people to someone who needs to be protected, then our democracy is in some strife.
The LNP are not liking the flow-on effects ( read , POWER) that industry super has and is using to negotiate ( the Libs call it something else) with big business to be more ethical.

Hey Late Riser- please put me down for 53-47 for both Newspoll and Essential and 52-48 for Ipsos.
In other news, on a flight to Sydney for work yesterday, I wondered whether fate or fortune had seated me next to PB royalty. My co-passenger in row 14, who’d managed to score several baby bottles of wine during the flight, started yelling (no exaggeration) about his intense dislike of Bill Shorten as we taxied into Mascot. His appalled travelling companion, who it turned out was a Greens voter from a generationally Liberal family, tried to calm him down by saying he was making people uncomfortable (well yeah, just a bit!). The Shortenophobe turned to me and said – “This gentleman isn’t uncomfortable. I’m sure he’d vote Liberal.” I could only smile and say – “sorry to disappoint you mate” and disembark as soon as I could when we docked. Rex/Nath – where were you on the afternoon of the 6th?

Dutton allocated himself a close personal Federal Police protection squad soon after the establishment of the super ministry.
This means that a Federal Police Detachment of at least two officers and a police car follows his government car on a trip from, for example the airport to parliament. This is to assure his safety.
This security service had previously been the reserve of the PM, the Queen and other dignitaries.
Dutton has serious problems with reality and his contribution to parliament.
What has Dutton done that warrants such security?

Thank you, BK.
From the last thread: Dutton would receive many, many death threats. Most of these would probably be white noise.
Some of them could well come from people who from time to time chop off heads and blow up some women and kids and who would dearly love to kill Dutton.
It is an unfortunate modern reality that there are people in Australia who daydream about murdering people like Dutton.
Dutton’s successor will face more or less the same suite of death threats and death wishes.

ScoMo probably wanted a long lead-up to the election to give him time to get all his ‘messages’ out. Instead, I think he’s given the electorates (and his desperate team) time to wish it could all be over.
