The Abbott Government must now change or die
 
By Andrew Bolt

November 18  2014  (8:59am)
 
The Abbott Government falls further behind in Newspoll:

In two-party-preferred terms, based on preference flows from last year’s election, Labor leads by 55 per cent to 45 per cent. The ALP’s third consecutive rise in two-party terms means the opposition has been in front of the ­Coalition on this measure for 14 successive Newspolls.

I still believe this overstates the margin, and the reality is somewhere between Newspoll and Essential Media’s 48 to 52 per cent. But there is no disputing the Government has a serious problem.

Right wing Niki Savva from The Australian on Insiders re Abbott promising no cuts to the ABC.

"He lied but they (the Libs) made it worse this week by lying about the lie."

At about the 39 min mark.
