GhostWhoVotes reports a federal Nielsen poll to be published in tomorrow’s Fairfax broadsheets will show the Coalition, unchanged on last month. More to follow.
UPDATE: GhostWhoVotes further relates the primary votes are Labor 35 per cent (up one point), Coalition 43 per cent (steady) and Greens 13 per cent (down one), and the poll also shows support for gay marriage at 57 per cent and opposition at 37 per cent.
UPDATE 2: The poll finds little change in the leaders’ personal ratings. Julia Gillard is stable on both approval (54 per cent) and disapproval (39 per cent), while Tony Abbott is up two on approval to 47 per cent and down two on disapproval to 48 per cent. Gillard’s lead as preferred prime minister is 53 per cent (steady) to 40 per cent (up a point). The Coalition leads as best party to handle interest rates (47 per cent to 33 per cent) and create greater competition between the banks (46 per cent to 32 per cent). Fifty-five per cent now believe the government should serve a full term, against 42 per cent who would like a new election as soon as possible.
UPDATE 3: Essential Research also has the Coalition leading 51-49, for the third week running. Julia Gillard’s approval rating is at 43 per cent, down two on a month ago, and her disapproval up one to 38 per cent, while Tony Abbott is up a point on approval to 40 per cent and down five on disapproval to 40 per cent. Gillard’s lead as preferred prime minister has narrowed from 49-33 to 45-34. There are also questions on viewing of sport on free-to-air and pay television, presumably apropos of the anti-siphoning issue – although opinions on this are not engaged directly.
[too love my motor racing and Top Gear. Hope your OH is enjoying doing up the old car. My dad is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to old cars ]
is he i often wish there was blog like this for car enthusiasts.
He may like a sub for the English Classic car for christmas they have a special at the moment.
Harry has scrapped a division and the poor dear disorganised rabble cannot keep up.
mysay,
I am a mad motorsport fan and had the privilege of being a freelance journalist for motorsport for years. It has only been in recent years that motorsport coverage has become mainstream. Before that we had to fight tooth and nail to get the smallest amount of broadcast time and other sports always won hands-down if it came to competing for the same timeslot.
If they drop it I will join the march with you – with all my motorsport friends!
Dirty harry just pulled out the magnum and named Andrews hehe

Agreed – especially in WA Even though Labor didn’t gain any seats in WA – We held the omes we had. Under Rudd it would’ve been a near total wipeout.
You forgot Hasluck, and the notionally Labor Swan. If 3 seats out of 15 isn’t a near-total wipeout, I’m not sure what is
]
Well thanks to the Black Sisterhood where they preferenced each other Hasluck got the result they deserved.
Harry withdraws the naming of Andrews and kicked him out for an hour.
our is a 71 bright red beamer when we got married we had a white one well he did. including a VW. then along came baby and i said how can i fit a pram in these cars.
so sold them for some horried station wagon with no class.
he vowed he would one day get a beamer well found it a couple of years ago in an shed paid 1000 for it. its looking good new leather seats new paint job original colour doesn’t go very far as he doesn’t want it to get dirty, loves washing cars.
when the kids turn up they know if they stay long enough dad will wash the car. lol
David,
Go Harry! I am thinking that the Speaker had words behind the scenes about behaviour in the chamber, because he definitely is playing ‘Dirty Harry’ and getting tough on them.

Try 0 or 1 out of 15.
Once again Pyne has made a dork of himself, when he realised Harry Jenkins was not fooling around with points of order the weal little toad ran for cover and left it to Bronnie and Andrews, what a weasel. Opposition again a shambles.

perhaps we should get in first and find out where these three are lol
may be some emails some where and tell them how we love their channel.
My say.. he told Andrews to go away and sleep on what he said and maybe would wake up in the morning knowing he made a fool of himself.

730 report mentioned that the government is going to reduce the confidentially
period on the NBN details to several weeks. Maybe just maybe that may get
Mr X across the line.
see told you Henry the 8th court and court jesters.
sorry about my imagination but us arty people are like that.
[Rod, I agree that the gay marriage issue is one problem that needs to be resolved – and as a result, I have voted Green in protest against the ALP policy on this matter for a number of years.]
Oh, you’ve done it now Darren! Wait ’til the heresy police arrive!
[But I also can acknowledge there would be some political fallout from the ferals and their bogans if Labor did take this issue on in such a precarious state. As a result, I think it’s quite appropriate to debate the timing of this issue – of course any sensible person would agree that there is no substance to the debate of whether to allow it, but simply when.]
b_g’s interest this morning was largely in whether a union leader like De Bruyn should reflect the views of the members of his union when speaking in public on such matters, or whether he was speaking as an individual, or whether he was speaking as a Labor official, when he attacked Gillard for allowing the Green’s motion on further discussions about gay marriage through. Seemed like interesting questions to me, and worthy of further thoughts about the history of the Labor party etc. etc. It is not really the ferals or the bogans that Labor is worried about with respect to the “gay marriage” question, I suspect. It is the powerful Catholic right lobby within the party itself.
But you are for it now! “Voted Greens ” in protest AND think that “there is no substance to the debate of whether to allow it, but simply when”. Such things will have you up on charges of grievous apostasy here from some of the “true believers” club I’m afraid!
Once again the sad part is, most of the country do not see and hear just how disgraceful the Opposition is.
Time for after work drinks and a meal, oh any one know if the red terror is back on 7-30 report please.
david
why has Harry called a division?
The Libs seemed to have no idea about things. Albanese tabled the new sitting pattern and the Libs wanted to debate it, not realizing that tabling a document means nothing and they’ll get their chance to debate it later. Harry had to set them right, again. Andrews was chucked out for nothing. Was that a sarcastic bow as he left, or genuine respect for Harry?

Attempted to post a comment on the story below in the OO……..was critical that their rag had all but become the official propaganda organ of the Coal…..added that their comments section was little more than an echo chamber for Fibs supporters…
Unsurprisingly my comments were not published.
They are in danger of alienating approx 50% of the Australian populace with their obsession to present this govt in the most negative light they can. Add to that their intention to place their rag behind a paywall next year, and I can’t see how they can make a buck….
Add to that the plethora of balanced/fair and informed bloggers (such as Grogs) that will pop up like mushrooms when the NBN goes live……and the OO is history!!! Can’t come a moment too soon…..

[if true this is REALLY SCARY]
High probability it is true going on the msm’s form for using fb to pad out its news segments.
My Facebook has the tightest privacy settings I can set. My sons are in IT, and on their advice none of our fb accounts are in real names or link back to our real email accounts. Same with my Twitter, You-tube accounts etc.
AND I do NOT use my facebook id to log into other websites. Too much info about me in one place if I do that. (I deliberately try to keep the streams of my web-life separate.)
For instance, no photos of me exist on FB and the option to have my id ‘tagged’ in other peoples photos is turned off. The msm will not be raiding my FB identity if we are unfortunate enough to be involved in a tragedy, the bloodsucking, pus-erupting @rse-boil, tape-worm infested ghouls.
And I hate seeing in the news, when someone loses their life i.e. victim of murder, car accident, how a fb site has xx number of tributes posted and then they show the posts on the news-screen. Then the fb page gets a pile of offensive posts because, well if you open your page up to everyone you will, and then that is another news story. (This happened in the last week or so.)
Scum. Grave-robbers have more morals. {Insert phrase starting with “bloodsucking…”}

He accepted the briefing I understand, so hopefully thats a good sign.

The Milat family seems to have a gene for serial killing. I can’t recall another family with metachronous serial killers.

Police found the body of the young male in a shallow grave on Sunday night, in the notorious killing fields on the southern highlands of NSW.]

Victoria wasn’t Harry calling a division, Albo presented a paper, Jenkins asked for nays, there were none so he went on to private members biz, then Prissie demanded a division on another matter which he said Albo had agreed to, Harry said too late different matter being discussed, go away. Then the agrieved rabble refused to accept his ruling. Andrews sent to bed, Pyne slunk away Bronnie told to sit and be quiet, harry puts magnum back in holster, very annoyed.

Ahh, gotcha. So 20% of the seats in parliament is a good result? I’ll have to remember that if WA Labor get reduced to 12 seats in two years time. These are the seats they would lose with a result like that (reading straight down the post-2008 pendulum):
Albany
Forrestfield
Kwinana
Collie-Preston
Balcatta
North West
Joondalup
Pilbara
West Swan
Gosnells
Belmont
Kimberley
Perth
Midland
Mindarie
Maylands
A good result, eh?
[The Milat family seems to have a gene for serial killing. I can’t recall another family with metachronous serial killers.]
To be a serial killer one must commit a series of killings. So far the Milat boy has been connected to just one killing.
Gus didn’t see him, judging by the votes he was probably paired with Julia.

no, and you don’t get it as usual.
A lot of thosise “Notional” ALP seats caused by the reshuffle were just that – notional – the MSM ensured they stayed with their incumbants – Irons in Swan, Randall in Canning.
