I hate to say it, but it's enough to make one physically ill. The constant critising by labor and the continued nastiness. Even to calling Abbott a rabbit. So petty, so unproductive.I think we have to take the view that everyone who is brave enough to stand deserves some respect. But of course, the journalists are carted along on the free gravy train, ferried about like an exclusive entourage. All at the campaigners cost.(with launches at taxpayer expense!) Annabel Crab gives a good description of what happens.
While this two party preferred system continues to be promoted, no one else can even get a press release printed. The neilesen poll came out a few days ago and you can go to Anthony greens blog or to the abc.net.au/elections page, for a clearer picture.
The mining tax has become lost. dead , buried and cremated?
It seems to have been agreed by the big miners and that's that.. until it comes before the senate.. and a greens held senate will support labor!
right now, I would have to say that labor will win with the greens preferences. Even german TV is pronouncing that..
The sad thing is this: so many voters are saying they cant be bothered voting. they will just get their name crossed off. What a waste!
