This week’s 51-49 Newspoll result has caused a slight moderation in this week’s BludgerTrack poll aggregate, which blew out to 52.2-47.8 last week on the back of strong result for Labor from ReachTEL. The 0.5% shift has had a bigger-than-usual effect on the seat projection, with Labor slipping four seats to barely make it to majority government status. This amounts to one seat each in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. There are two new data points for leaders’ ratings, from Newspoll and Essential, and they’ve caused the trendlines to continue moving in the directions they were already headed inexorably downwards for both leaders on net approval, with a gently narrowing trend on preferred prime minister.
BludgerTrack: 51.7-48.3 to Labor
After a period of erratic poll results from various outfits, the BludgerTrack poll aggregate appears to be recovering its equilibrium.

Is this the same disgusting signs that Abbott and his “Convoy of No Confidence” displayed, saying shit like “Carbon Tax, Juliar bitch!” AND “Bob Brown’s bitch” ?
watch your tax dollar in action?

[The sexist and violent signs aimed at Abbott were disgusting today.]
Well, I guess Abbott shouldn’t have invented the practice, should he?
Can we discus old mate at the rally today holding up the Nazi and the Communist sign with Abbott in the middle as Hitler.. I was confused by this sign.

Sorry false accusation, the difference a b and d makes.
It’s interesting isn’t it, Abbott proudly stood under “ditch the witch” Shorten distance himself from the extremes. Labor definitely has more class.
Everything, no, what is the goss re 370?

Yes that is the picture i was referring too, clearly the bloke doesn’t know his history.

Just some of the highlights of March in March, were these the same people complaining about the “Ditch the Witch” poster?

Can we discuss the DailyTerror comparing Labor Party to Nazi’s, China, etc?

Front page, just before the electection Rummel, you do have a very short memory.

Love how the right always gets a conscience… but only when it’s anti-Coalition supporters doing the alleged nasties.
\Oh yes, shocking behaviour, terrible, hypocritical even. Foul language, violent, offensive…
But only after you creeps have feasted yourselves on it first.
Eff off.
It’s OUR turn.

You are playing silly buggers tonight of ignorance.

For those who want to read stuff posted anonymously by pilots see above (or subsequent pages thereof). There are also absolutely amazing photos on this site!
I see some of what I heard is now in the news but:
* Pilot was tight with Malaysian Opposition
* Pilot very close friend of Anwar
* Pilot attended Anwar’s court case sitting in gallery
* Pilot’s wife just left him
(* The above two points raised the question about the nature of his relationship to Anwar as well but of course that is jut speculation and not actually insider info from other pilots)
* Co-pilot was a regular attender at mosque and said to be a good muslim (not violent tendencies)…..although that didn’t appear to stop him inviting swedish girls into the cockpit and smoking!
* There is a missing cargo manifest for this plane
* The X-ray equipment was broken down the night MH took off (some inside Malaysian Airlines probably would have known that.
Who knows how much of this is right and how much is not, but it was an interesting dinner party tonight! :devil:
[It’s OUR turn.]
It always is BB.
Nice false equivalence there.
Are there any photos of the LOTO or shadow ministers smiling in front of these signs and providing their endorsement?

rummel,
Did Shorten and his front bench stand proudly in front of those posters like Abbott?
If not, your comparison is as inane as everything else you contribute.
ML and Rummel both posting at the same time is good for us rational Torries 🙂
ML,
The US probably used the same studio they filmed the moon landings to hide the plane.
When people discuss the ‘satellite’ states of the former USSR they either don’t know, haven’t researched or ignore the reason why there are so many Russians living in these countries.
When the USSR annexed all those countries after WW2 they moved millions of Russians into those countries to ensure the Moscow doctrine was followed and to prevent uprisings among the indigenous populations seeking a return to their independence as a country in their own right. As they were before the occupation by USSR
davidwh,
“Rational Tories’ is an oxymoron.

I can empathise. Last night i saw “Her” by Spike Jonz. Dumbed down version of “a Space Oddity” when you think that artificial intelligence was given a far more serious treatment, with regards HAL.
Seems Hollywood ‘icons – Tarantino and Jonz amongst them – are untouchable, but they’re merely appropriating others’ ideas.
Not really GG, but I thought they were extinct. How lucky we r that the three that remain all post here.
4 corners tomorrow night
Late last year the office of Canberra lawyer Bernard Collaery was raided by agents from ASIO and the Federal Police.
[They were looking for documents that linked his client, a former top Australian spy, to disclosures that Australia had bugged East Timor’s Prime Minister and his advisors during crucial treaty talks a decade ago. Those talks resulted in a treaty that carved up billions of dollars worth of oil and gas reserves in the Timor Sea.]

Simon,
No oxymorons make regular appearances here and sometimes even in the MSM.

I’m starting to think that all Tory MP’s have their brains physically altered to have their social responsibility removed, and replaced with a calculator that thinks only of immediate cost.
[It always is BB.]
Piss-weak retort Rummel.
You lost this one.

Abbott can be accused of a lot of things, without severe ridicule, being a Communist is not one of them (from any evidence I have seen).
Conspiracy theorists having a field day with MAS. 370. Just read one bizarre piece claiming the plane was hijacked by pilots in conjunction with the US and flown to the Diego Garcia airbase in the Indian Ocean.

GG I’m glad you could see the satire 🙂
This is a sleeper issue which will explode one day.
[A simple blood test could reveal within an hour of a head injury whether a football player should be allowed to return to the sport and how severe the concussion is, Swedish researchers claim.
The finding, published today in the journal JAMA Neurology, comes in the wake of this week’s admission by former Australian rugby league player Ian Roberts that he has brain damage.]
The NFL has set aside $900M for payouts to players with cumulative traumatic brain damage and have been told it isn’t nearly enough.
Everything …. Snap!

such class these LNP people
Hey BB, go easy on our rational Tories. They r a listed threatened species – due I presume to habitat destruction and introduction of feral Tories (or feral Tonys).
What does seem clear is that the governments involved, probably including Oz know more about MAS 370 than they are letting on….

Geoffrey….amongst he nonsense that you spout tell us…How do the Europeans find a substitute for Russian Gas”’it is delivered all over middle Europe by a vast network of pipelines and recently the Germans and the Russian built a new one down the Baltic Sea
EVERYONE is dependent.on it….It cost ten of billion to build..how would one even replace it
The fact is the Russian have the Gas
The same situation is now arising in Turkey…with the USA calling for Turkish sanction and the Turks almost totally dependent on the Russian gas
so explain how they stop using Russian oil..it will be cold comfort indeed
