Three items to get the ball rolling on a new week, all of which happen to be from The Australian:
• The paper reported on Friday that yet another election campaign looks set to be blighted by a Clive Palmer advertising blitz. However, whereas his efforts before the 2019 federal election were directed entirely at Labor, this time Palmer also hopes to settle scores with Peter Dutton in the campaign for his seat of Dickson, after Dutton last week spearheaded a purge of Palmer allies at the top level of the Liberal National Party organisation.
• Plans for a November federal election have been “shelved to get the government’s vaccine rollout back on track”, with the government now “actively considering whether to repeat the 2019 strategy and hold an April budget in the run-up to an electoral showdown with Labor”.
• Also today, focus group research of voters in outer Melbourne by Redbridge has detected a “perceived bias towards NSW” on the part of the Morrison government, together with “a rejuvenation of Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ standing”. Redbridge has also detected “voter hesitancy about the Prime Minister” in western Sydney.

I’m sure you’re drooling at the possibility that your man, SlackMo, can do it.

Nothing to see here. I blame (’cause that’s the national sport atm) lack of advertising (aka “news”).
Should be a Newspoll this weekend, if I can count, to bring us back to our senses. 🙂
NSW Health couldn’t tweet the exposure sites tonight.
There were 185? of them. Too many to list.
New thread.
