The Australian reports the latest Newspoll has the Coalition’s lead at 51-49, unchanged on three weeks ago. On the primary vote, the Coalition is steady at 42%, Labor up a point to 35%, the Greens down one to 11% and One Nation down one to 3%. Scott Morrison records another personal best on leader ratings, his approval up two to 68% and disapproval down two to 27%, while Anthony Albanese is now at 42% on both approval and disapproval, which are respectively up by one and two. Morrison’s lead as preferred prime minister is at 58-26, out from 56-26. The poll was conducted Wednesday to Saturday from a sample of 1521.

I’ve never heard of Ch31.
Can we put the clock on Fletcher – he has all this rehearsed.
Paul Fletcher is losing my vote, if he doesn’t shut the F#$% up.
So good of bill to have the budget paper with him, should have gone one step futher and straight on asked him. Why are you lying.
Fletcher simply doesn’t want any of the women panelists to speak.
Confessions – its a Melbourne only community TV station. Here is an article from earlier today that explains a bit about it.

They need to call out lying. Like actually say, this government minister is not telling the truth. How can we take you at your word on anything that you say here if you cannot tell the truth on this.
Thanks Leroy.

Mavis, your are becoming obsessed. Get over it, you’ll feel better – don’t be a nath
Thank you for your gratuitous advice?
The ABC is so afraid of getting a complaint from the Coalition that they just let them go on and on and on interminably. The Coalition knows this and a Minister knows it better than most.
Bill speaking a lot of sense supporting the ABC. Shows the shallowness of Fletcher’s mansplaining.
Mavis,
Right now gratuitous advice is your calling card.
And, yes, I get it about my myself.
I think your right c@t, the abc has been disciplined by the funding cuts. Rudd said similar a few weeks ago.
As they say in the Liberal party room “it’s OUR abc”
Morrison is a man’s man when it comes to funding
Fletcher doesn’t have his misogyny talking points – the ladies are shutting him up bigly
Holy shit the conversation has well and truly exposed the systemic bias towards men by this govt in terms of its coronavirus response.
Fletcher now flipping over to Dumbo Dan Tehan for a response – he ain’t there, Paul
Hey so can we all take a deep breath and think about how much of a better host Trioli is compared to Tony Jones.
I’m so glad he’s in China right now. Just the worst journalist ever.
I wondered when they’d get to the branch stacking stuff.
Bill could talk about primaries.
And opening the labor party up to non union members.
But talking about icac is a good turn also
Bill Shorten deflecting off onto federal ICAC, doesn’t want to talk about stacking (other than Malcolm Turnbull)
Fletcher fibs federal ICAC – doing jack shit would be the honest answer
“I’m so glad he’s in China right now. Just the worst journalist ever.”
Chris Ullmann, Chris Hatcher, James Masola all say ‘hold my beer’.
The AFL finally agrees we need to be tougher on holding the ball. If you take control of the ball you have to get rid of it correctly.
I would not like to be at a dinner party with Paul Fletcher

The Pink Recession is a creation of Scott Morrison. It’s his way of squeezing women out of the workforce.
This is one smart cookie..
Chris Ullmann, Chris Hatcher, James Masola all say ‘hold my beer’.
Andrew,
Well yes they are all bad, but i can sit through a Qanda without yelling at the TV and I’d put that down to the host allowing people talk. Jones was all about the gotcha and soundbites.
C@t:
Listening to the discussion it does seem like the govt’s response has truly been targetted at excluding women from the recovery effort.
south,
The Labor Party has plenty of non union members.
The long dissertations are taking up,time!

I’m at an age, I take no advice. I call it as I see it – no compromise.
[‘And, yes, I get it about my myself.’]
No comment other to suggest be careful to whom you allie yourself with.

As well as targeting the Tradie demographic. You’d think, in the Shakespearean sense and in Morrison’s mind that, ‘All the world’s a Tradie’. 😐

“The AFL finally agrees we need to be tougher on holding the ball. If you take control of the ball you have to get rid of it correctly.”
The speed with which they can execute a hand pass these days when they want to makes the current “no prior opportunity “ rulings a joke. Also if it’s knocked out in the tackle that has to be an incorrect disposal call.
Mavis,
If your memory could serve you well you would have remembered that BB and GG and I have had many cross words between us in the past. Not to mention that, to quote the magnificent KK, ‘I am nobody’s girl!’ Or allied to anyone here in particular.
In the end they got Al Capone on tax evasion rather than any other crimes. Not sure if that is relevant to SA Upper House Liberal MP Terry Stephens but the ABC seems to be implying something about his tax affairs here. Which declaration is false – the tax one or the parliamentary expenses one? SA ICAC plese advise.

Lucky there is no widespread corruption in the Liberal Party.
Christopher Pyne is on next week. I thought we were finally rid of him now he’d retired.
“Andrew,
Well yes they are all bad, but i can sit through a Qanda without yelling at the TV and I’d put that down to the host allowing people talk. Jones was all about the gotcha and soundbites.”
For me the solution was obvious from the beginning. Never watch Qanda live. Ever.
I was on a unity ticket with Paul Keating on Qanda.
I still hate it. But of course, having Mr smug faced git stuck in China has had its benefits. Although, imagine if chicken masala or Chrissy ullmann we’re hosting Qanda. As it is I can only handle Virginia Trioli in small 20 second bursts. Every decade.
I basically feel the same way about “insiders” as well.
Good news tonight.
Community television unlike ABC getting support.
AAP sold to a nonprofit outfit.
We might actually get increased media diversity.

I rarely watch it. The only good ones are the politician free ones. Years ago they had Christopher Hitchens on. For an intellectual challenge they put Frank Brennan and Waleed Aly up against him. Hitchens despatched them with ease. I would have loved to have gone drinking with him. His oratory was unsurpassed in modern English. I miss him dearly.

Didn’t watch Q&A. Preferred to watch a repeat of Inspector George Gently.
From comments here, it looks as though this Paul Fletcher character has attended the circular breathing training that the PM and other Liberals seem to have had.
Quanda was worth watching for Yasmin Poole – intelligent, articulate, young, passionate. A leader. There is hope.

I think BB’s a really nasty piece of work, no better evidenced by his fulsome antagonism of wombat, an expert in his discipline. He stopped posting, in my view, due to BB’s constant harassment, feeling the need to respond to his uninformed, at times ludicrous analyses. GG in my view is provocative but reasonable – both, though, often acting in unison.
For those of you with access MSNBC Morning Joe is really bad for Trump tonight. The Never Trumpers in full attack mode.
To give you an idea the programme opened with a Lincoln Project Advert.

Far more edifying!
Since I got HI onto fold.it, her thirst for science has grown exponentially.
She’s bothered that (as she puts it) she “doesn’t know what she’s doing” with fold.it, but continually solves its protein design puzzles ranked in the top 1% worldwide.
I try to tell her that she has a raw talent for seeing patterns, an intuition for neat, workable arrangements that no amount of study can deliver. She is gradually coming to accept that.
