The Australian today brings us the latest set of breakdowns from three months’ accumulation of Newspoll results, and the second to be published since its ambit was extended beyond state, age and gender to education, income, language and religion. Highlights:
• Labor is credited with a lead of 51-49 in New South Wales, compared with 50-50 in the April-June quarter and 51.8-48.2 to the Coalition at the election, and its lead in Victoria is out to 56-44, compared with 55-45 and 53.1-46.9. Once again though, Queensland is Labor’s sticking point, with the Coalition lead recorded at 59-41, compared with 56-44 last quarter and 58.4-41.6 at the election. The Coalition leads 54-46 in Western Australia, compared with 55-45 last quarter and 55.6-44.4 at the election, and is now at level pegging in South Australia, compared with 53-47 to Labor last poll and 50.7-49.3 to Labor at the election.
• The Coalition leads 53-47 among men and trails 51-49 among women, compared with 52-48 to the Coalition among men and 52-48 to Labor among women last quarter.
• The age effect is a little more modest in the latest poll, with Labor leading 58-42 among the 18-34s and 53-47 among the 35-49s, respectively compared with 62-38 and 52-48 last quarter. The Coalition leads 54-46 among the 50-64s and 63-37 among the 65-plus, compared with 53-47 and 62-38 last quarter.
• Whereas the result was a perfect 50-50 among each of the three education cohorts last time, this time the Coalition leads 53-47 among those with no tertiary qualifications and 51-49 among those with TAFE and technical qualifications, while Labor leads 52-48 among those with university degrees.
• The last poll has 50-50 splits among the three lowest income cohorts, whereas the Coalition leads 57-43 among those with household incomes of $150,000 or higher. Last quarter, it was 50-50 among those on $50,000 or lower, 52-48 to the Labor among those on $50,000 to $100,000, 52-48 to the Coalition on those from $100,000 to $150,000, and 53-47 to the Coalition on $150,000 and higher.
• The Coalition leads 52-48 among those who speak only English at home, out from 51-49, and Labor leads 56-44 among non-English speakers, in from 57-43.
• The Coalition leads 60-40 among Christians, out from 58-42, and Labor leads 57-43 among those with no religion, in from 58-42.
The full results can be viewed here, I think without a paywall. The results are compiled from YouGov’s Newspoll surveys from June 3 to August 8, with a combined sample of 6392.

Whenever there is a chance of something going wrong, eventually it will.

No, but they are going to have to do an unnecessary job now which they shouldn’t be expected to do and so will now include the job of safety officer.
I wonder, is that the antithesis of the Morrison binary argument?
Hands up all those who think the current River Cat design with no external seating should have been kept and those who like sitting outside if possible.

It’s the only way Liberals can justify mistakes their own side has made which they would crucify Labor for if they had made the same mistake.

The first sentence is offensive and does you no credit.
The second is perfectly acceptable and reasonable, while still without any attempt to address the question, because I assume you can’t.
Are they really the only two options Bucephalus?

On the Brisbane City Cats, you can sit in the bow or the stern in the open air – what’s wrong with that?
Geez this discussion is just like shooting a Seahorse in a barrell!

Will they be as fast as the river cats? Or are they that slow, getting downstairs will not be an issue?
Bucephalus @ #3049 Monday, August 24th, 2020 – 4:13 pm
No, just you!
In this situation they would have to offload passengers at the previous stop, they would then have to wait for the next ferry.
So this is to be the republicans pitch? Sad country if it works

Agree. How leaders handle loss and failure is as important as how they handle victory and success. Maybe even more so. Finocchario did not cover herself in glory on Saturday night.
The CLP now have to decide whether to keep Finocchario, or choose another leader from the (checks election results) three other CLP MPs. 🙂

So you have a boat with a full or near full load of passengers and ………………QUICK DOWNSTAIRS………………………what could possibly go wrong ?
There is an ethical dilemma to using the remains of abortions for science, or anything. It has been and still is a source of debate. I do not know what I think about the issue. I certainly have a problem with companies making profit from it.
But this cell line was developed years or decades ago, so it is a bit late to complain about ethical boundaries.

It’s never too late!
So, Firefox wasn’t banned due to his comments. He was banned from posting large chunks of other’s work. A bit disingenuous, mate, when declaring it was all about free expression.
The solution with the river vessels is simple. If there is only one metre of clearance above the rails – raise the rails.
Slight error there – Ozzie men are all taller than 6 feet – sun bronzed and excellent swimmers.

Hardly. I was not informed as to why I was banned when I was banned and am constantly attacked by all and sundry for my views. I cannot speak to anyone’s motivations for doing what they do, I am not a mind reader. I accept that William doesn’t like people posting full articles on his website, regardless of whether doing so is covered by fair use or not. That is his call. Frankly, I understand it too. Even if he has nothing to worry about, as a webmaster you still don’t want even the thought of big media companies coming after you. I get that.
Indeed.
So long as no one misconstrues the use of the word “Duck” to be an alert to local fauna.
The ferries were heaps cheaper than Aussie made ones so a few passenger decapitations is acceptable collateral damage for the savings.
So said someone in conservative land

And for sound reasons. Anyway, get back on board, following the guidelines.

The answer to the ferry problem is simple.
Put a bunghole and bung in the bottom of the hull, and another one on the side of the ferry just above the water line.
Every time the ferry approaches a bridge remove the bottom bung plug. The ferry will take water, sink lower, then safely traverse under the bridge without damaging passengers’ heads.
At this point, replace the bottom bung plug.
Repeat the process at the second bridge.
When the ferry arrives at its destination, the passengers will alight, and with less weight on board, the ferry will float higher.
At this point remove the side bung plug, and the water will gush out of the ferry hull, thereby raising it to its correct height for the return trip.
You see, it’s so simple, if you apply Archimedes Principle and basic engineering knowledge.

The faster you go, the lower you go – so just go really, really fast under those bridges!

Most normal people are guided by their conscience. Not, whether they are awake or in a stupor.
That’s pretty old to be suffering from appendicitis!
The old bugger’s been eating too many apple pips.
You should never do that without teeth, my nonna used to say.
Did the doctors save the appendix and rid it of the useless appendage?
“So, it was nothing bu a beat off!”

*rolls eyes* hardly.
I do find it amusing that you are all so keen to point out that I am apparently free to express the views I was expressing. It’s a nice change from the constant trolling I get where people tell me that a war where up to two and a half million people died doesn’t matter and that I am somehow in the wrong for bringing it up…

So put the oldies on the top of the new ferry’s, remove their teeth and feed them apples. Sounds like a plan.
This could almost be the Poll Bludger theme song. 🙂

There’s nothing more amusing on PB than someone stuck on stupid who repeats the same thing over and over again and thinks they have political insight.
But, you’re a special case because you actually think that you are relevant to mainstream politics.
We’re laughing at you, not with you.
“Most normal people are guided by their conscience. Not, whether they are awake or in a stupor.”

Yes, I am human, thanks for pointing that out. You may note I corrected myself before you took the last resort available to a desperate person on the internet when they have nothing of substance to add. Pathetic.
Yes, but don’t forget to remove the bung, and proceed at top speed.
The safest ferry system in the world!

Don’t pay the ferryman.
Don’t even fix a price.
Yep, those Indonesians are way ahead of us in ferry design, especially NSW.
Nah, this is…

In the sentencing hearing of the perpetrator of the Christchurch mosque shootings, there are many moving impact statements, arguably one of the most moving is by a mother whose 35-year-old son who was murdered – forgiving him! Now, that takes some strength.
