The fortnightly Essential Research poll was published yesterday, showing the following:
• On voting intention, primary vote numbers inclusive of a 7% undecided component have Labor and the Coalition on 32% each, which is one down in Labor’s case and two up in the Coalition’s. The Greens are down two to 12% and One Nation are up one to 7%. The pollster’s 2PP+ measure has Labor down two to 49% and the Coalition up two to 44%, with 7% undecided.
• Leader favourability ratings, in which respondents are asked to rate the leaders from zero to ten (distinct from a more conventional approval question that is asked of the Prime Minister once a month), offer the most distinctive evidence yet for a softening of Anthony Albanese’s position: 40% now give him a rating of seven to ten, down seven on last month, with 28% scoring him from zero to three, up six.
• For the first time since Labor came to power, a “national mood” question records a net negative result, with 42% rating that the country is on the wrong track, up five on a month ago, compared with 38% for the right track, down five.
• A series of three questions on tax policy includes one on “reducing tax concessions for people with superannuation balances over $3 million”, which found 50% supportive and 19% opposed. Forty-seven per cent rate themselves unlikely to have $3 million in super when they are old enough to access it along with 23% for not that likely, while 8% think it very likely and 15% fairly likely. “Tightening up the rules around family trusts to make it more difficult for wealthy families to split their incomes and reduce their tax” was supported by 55% and opposed by 15%, and cancelling stage three tax cuts has 42% support with 22% opposed.
The poll was covered Wednesday to Sunday from a sample of 1141. Other poll findings around the place:
• An additional result from this week’s Newspoll has support for an Indigenous voice at 53%, down three on a month ago, with opposition up one to 38%. Last week’s Resolve Strategic poll also had a supplementary question on the voice, which had support at 58%, down two from December and January, and opposition up two to 42%.
• The quarterly True Issues survey of issue salience by JWS Research finds concern over the cost of living continuing to raise, now rated as one of the three main issues by 47%, up from 44% in October and just 16% a year ago. Housing and interest rates is up seven since October to 26%; health has steadied after a long decline as the pandemic faded from the limelight, now up two to 31%; and environment and climate change is down three to 23%. The survey was conducted February 24 to 27 from a sample of 1000.
• The latest weekly Roy Morgan federal voting intentions have Labor on 38%, the Coalition on 33.5% and the Greens on 11.5%, with Labor’s two-party lead narrowing from 56.6-43.5 to 54.5-45.5. The poll was conducted Monday to Sunday; as usual, the sample is not specified.
G’day William and fellow Bludgers, I am fairly convinced that Dutton will oppose a yes vote formally, and Andrew Bragg will be the only Liberal to dissent.
Benchmark power prices for hundreds of thousands of Australians are set to rise by more than 20 per cent within months as the enormous costs from last year’s energy crisis flow through to consumers’ bills.
Following increases of up to 18.3 per cent last year, electricity price caps in a number of states are expected to jump by an even greater amount under changes set to come into effect from July.

Ukraine has recently been deploying longer ranged, more precise weapons against the Russian invaders:
“There is recent evidence that Ukraine has a range of new precision-guided weapons, some developed and manufactured domestically, that will not only increase its ability to engage long-range targets in Russia-occupied territory but also to increase the payloads delivered to the target.
One such high-tech weapon now employed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to strike Russian rear areas is the Joint Direct Attack Munition-Extended Range (JDAM-ER) precision-guided bomb. This is U.S. made kit which is designed to fit a conventional bomb with gliding wings and a GPS guidance system, which gives the user the capacity to fly a 500-kilogram high explosive warhead to within a couple of meters of a target.
On Mar. 6, U.S. Air Force General James Hecker, head of U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), is quoted in the American military magazine War Zone, said “That’s a recent capability that we were able to give them [the AFU] probably in the last three weeks.”
It was announced in Washington in December it would, for the first-time, transfer JDAMS-ER kits to Ukraine. Hecker’s comments were the first direct confirmation by a Pentagon official that the system with a range of 70+ kilometers from point of drop had reached the field in Ukraine and was being actively employed by the AFU air force.”

As Ukraine’s weaponry gets ever more advanced, Russia’s position will only get more precarious.
Poland continues to punch well above its weight in delivering much-needed weaponry to Ukraine, along with logistical support:
“Poland said Tuesday that it will send 10 Leopard tanks to Ukraine this week, offering more of the vehicles that Kyiv says are crucial to countering Russia’s invasion.
Poland had promised to ship a total of 14 German-made Leopard 2 heavy tanks to Kyiv, with the first four already delivered in late February, on the first anniversary of Russia’s offensive in Ukraine.
“Poland already this week will deliver to Ukraine 10 Leopard 2A4 tanks,” Mariusz Blaszczak told reporters in Warsaw before flying to Stockholm for a meeting of EU defence ministers.
Blaszczak also said Poland would set up a service hub for the battle tanks used in Ukraine.”
https://www.kyivpost.com/post/13953
A reminder: Poland contributes the 4th most assistance to Ukraine in the world, as a percentage of its GDP: 0.63%. By way of comparison, the US gives 0.37%, the UK gives 0.32%, Canada gives 0.32%, and Australia gives 0.03%. No, that’s not a typo.
A first-hand account from a Ukrainian defender in Bakhmut, in the Kyiv Post:
“‘I Killed Dozens of Russians Every Day’: One Soldier’s Bakhmut Experience
In an exclusive interview with Kyiv Post, UAF soldier Leshiy describes the horror of fighting Russia’s “meat wave” tactics and why he thinks Wagner fighters must be taking drugs.”
https://www.kyivpost.com/post/13938
A quote:
“In my opinion, they’re definitely taking some sort of drugs, because people in a normal psychological state wouldn’t do that,” says Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) soldier Leshiy (full name withheld for security reasons) as he describes to Kyiv Post the behavior of Wagner troops he recently fought in Bakhmut.
“Thirty meters away from our position, he gets up and starts digging a trench, like you’re not even bothering him,” he says.
“You eliminate him, and then after 15 minutes, you notice he seems to be moving. ‘How is that possible,’ you think? You know that you killed him, and then you see another one. So they push the dead one out, and the next one comes out to dig further. You kill the next one. And they can do this for three days in a row.”

I think Bridget Archer and Russell Broadbent will join him.
corrupt Newsltd must get getting polling to suggest Labor is heading towards a win in the Aston by-election, hence the all out propaganda attack on Daniel Andrews.
The BBC cites ‘Western officials’ for this latest estimate of Russian casualties in their assault upon Bakhmut:
“Between 20,000 and 30,000 Russian troops have been killed and wounded in the battle for the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut since it began last summer, Western officials say.
The epic nature of the battle is out of all proportion to Bakhmut’s strategic significance, they add. …
… Even if it falls to Russia – something that could still take time and is not guaranteed – Moscow will, Western officials say, have gained little and lost much.
For Ukraine, one official said, the battle for Bakhmut has been “a unique opportunity to kill a lot of Russians”.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64880268
Russia has lost around one soldier for every two citizens of Bakhmut they have displaced from their homes. Great work all round. 😡

“Fighting is so intense that Vatagin said he and his team have at times searched houses for Russian forces, then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with them, ultimately capturing some combatants as prisoners of war. “Fistfights have been happening,” he said. “Everyone has their own fighting story.”
Maybe Russia is onto something equipping their soldiers with their MPL-50 entrenching tools:

And you keep displaying your desire for Australia to do nothing to prepare itself should that scenario play out.
Hopefully the fall in Labor and the PMs support will refocus them on immediate economic matters. It’s all about the cost of living and housing now. It would be better if the PM took a higher profile role, both in appearance and substance on them.

The Reserve Bank has driven interest rates to an 11-year high of 3.6 per cent even as it concedes inflation pressures may be easing and evidence mounts Australians’ mental wellbeing is deteriorating under the weight of ever-increasing mortgage repayments. Shane Wright tells us that Philip Lowe will meet representatives of Suicide Prevention Australia, the peak body that has raised the alarm about a surge in people reporting elevated distress over cost-of-living pressures and having serious thoughts of suicide over the past year.

Peter Lewis says that, in closing one of the more egregious tax breaks for the mega-rich, the Albanese government is staring down the aspiration paradox: the proclivity of people to vote for the sort of life they wish they lived rather than the one they materially do.

Paul Kelly writes about multiple problems facing Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers on the reform front. Labor is trapped between an economy that demands reforms and a politics that means reform only comes at an exorbitant price. He’s basically daring Labor to fix what the Liberals dis so that he and his ilk can shitcan the government for doing so.

Kathryn Campbell has told a royal commission she accepts federal cabinet was misled when the robodebt scheme was approved, admitting to a “significant oversight”. However, she rejected suggestions it was deliberate, reports Luke Henriques-Gomes about yesterday’s royal commission hearing.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/mar/07/robodebt-royal-commission-inquiry-top-bureaucrat-cabinet-misled
Paul Bongiorno explains why he says the robodebt royal commission is our most important in a long while. He says that what we are getting is a long-overdue reality check on the way in which the engine rooms of governance – the cabinet and the public service – were no longer operating according to the norms and conventions of the Westminster system, let alone the moral imperative to “be honest in the conduct of public office”.

The UK government says it is ready for legal challenges to a tough new law intended to stop tens of thousands of migrants a year reaching the country in small boats across the English Channel. Yesterday Home Secretary Suella Braverman said the government had “pushed the boundaries of international law” with a bill that will bar asylum claims by anyone who reaches the UK by unauthorised means and will compel the government to detain and then deport them “to their home country or a safe third country”. They would be banned from ever re-entering the country.

Meanwhile, Jim Chalmers has accused opponents of Labor’s renewable energy policies of spinning wheels in “ideological cul-de-sacs”, as the Coalition and Greens team up to force the government to release emissions modelling.

Invasion by China may not happen overnight but it will happen if we don’t show them that we are preparing defenses against such a possibility. They are opportunistic scavengers for territory. They will take over what they can, wherever they can.

In summer you can tell if Ukraine is in the move by looking at the rising Russian casualties.
At the moment there cannot be an offensive as the fields are mud. A bogged tank is a bogged tank, worse than a bogged tractor. The way to get it out is leave it until the mud turns into dirt.
The Russian casualties are rising without a Ukraine offensive.
Seems Russia did not learn, don’t do assaults when the tanks have to go on the roads . This February and last February, Russian heavy machinery moving on roads for Ukraine to destroy.

“Invasion by China may not happen overnight but it will happen if we don’t show them that we are preparing defenses against such a possibility. They are opportunistic scavengers for territory. They will take over what they can, wherever they can.”
I presume you are talking about Taiwan. If you are talking about an invasion of australia you are irrational.
The defence of Taiwan against the PLA is not in our strategic national interest. Besides which the Americans are simply using Taiwan as an excuse to pursue hegemony in east Asia: the American ambassador to china recently made that explicitly clear. That conclusion is relevant when examining the foundations of our treaty alliances and foreign policy relationships: they are simply inadequate for the geopolitical outlook australia faces as two superpowers lean into each other. Once again it seems that enough people in power are willing to risk hundreds of thousands – perhaps millions – of Australian lives on a series of delusions.
The fact that you are tacitly endorsing this blatant campaign of war mongering by 9/Faix, says a lot about you C@t. None of it good.
