I live in a safe Liberal seat  :P and the sitting member's surname rhymes with what he is lol ;)


As for the debate last night  :P. The only entertaining factor was some of the quotes:

Gillard - "We didn't want to see people lose their houses. Or lose their homes. Or have their mortgages foreclosed on them"

Abbott - "Don't listen to slogans. I'm going to cut taxes and stop the boats. That's my action contract"

 :wallywink :rollin

I told ya it was funny TV

 :rollin :rollin

And can anyone tell me what this gem means exactly  :P

"We will introduce no new big taxes" - Tony Abbott
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

no bets taken on whose fingerprints are on the blade they remove.  :whistle

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Rudd rushed to hospital btw to have his gall bladder removed  :o.

Convenient excuse for him  to play a minimal part in the campaign. He could have had discomfort for a long time.

Labor machine possibly getting everything it deserves.

Fair enough being cynical about pollies and the timing of their motives but in this instance I don't think they get their gall bladder taken out as part of political strategy  ;). In fact this has kept Rudd in the news again.

Coalition in election winning lead in latest poll.

Major major trouble for Labor if they lose this one from where they were. Their PM and PM-in-waiting 6 months ago both deemed unelectable, either by the party itself or by the electorate.

yes if they lost it would be an amazement on how they have blown such successfull opinion polls for the party and 2 leaders in a short space of one term.
they truely must of been worried when they decided to replace rudd.

However on the nose Rudd was, he was not as bad in front of a camera as Gillard. Its fair dinkum Kath & Kim.

I'm pretty certain Rudd would have killed Abbott head on, but Gillard is finding it hard to find any sort of traction with the electorate.

Shouldn't take much notice at polls... a small sample of people out of millions

Last federal election the polls said it would be close, a knife edge result and it ended up being a one sided result

Would think it isn't over by a long way yet

 ;D

Hopefully the removing the gall bladder will stop the "leaks"
