Election 2016 - Lods - 04-19-2016
Looks like it's on for July 2nd.
We think the Yanks are going bad....we're not much ahead in our choices.
The issues with Turnbull are exactly the same as they were before....all fluff, no substance.
He's heading out backwards and taking his party with him.
But will folk vote for Bill Shorten as PM? :
...and is it too soon to have them back.
It will be close.... but it looks like we lose whichever way it goes.
Re: Election 2016 - ItsOurTime - 04-19-2016
Dont think the aussie public has caught on to Turnbull justyet and an election win will give him the mandate he currently doesn't have both with the public and the liberal party.
Re: Election 2016 - cookie2 - 04-19-2016
A good budget will just about get Turnbull home IMO - well at least not a bad one. I think Shorten turns most people off and they wouldn't want to see him as PM, but you never know.

Just hope we dont get more undecided/disenchanted electors voting for the Greens......

Yeah it's amazing he hasn't turned the country around in 6 months?
WTF has he done in all that time.
The country is hamstrung by debt, thanks to the previous government.
No one is used to, or prepared to take a hit so it will probably happen in a recession where we are forced to.
When you live beyond your means for so long it's going to hurt.
Re: Election 2016 - DJC - 04-19-2016
It's interesting to compare Victoria's government with the Commonwealth. While folk may not agree with everything Andrews is doing, at least he's not afraid to make a decision. Meanwhile, Turnbull has pulled back from everything he has floated. It must be hard for the poor bastard to abandon all of his principles to appease the far right nut jobs like Bernardi, Hastie, Christensen and other Abbott supporters.
Another interesting comparison was made today by the Brick with Ears when said that the Coalition and its culture of leaking was typical of the struggling NRL clubs. Unless the conservatives can give the impression that they are united behind Turnbull, a one term government is not out of the question.

Andrews, like all previous labour leaders has no fear of putting us in years of debt.
It's easy to spend if you DGAF about the future.
Cancel east west.
Build western link that only puts more traffic on the WG freeway.
He's a genius
Re: Election 2016 - thrunthrublu - 04-19-2016
more nut job independents get oxygen because of disenchantment amongst voters for both parties. A vicious circle
No money, and a reluctance to take a hit on spending, forces leaders of appeasement to keep deferring fundamentals
to stay employed
