Is that concept unclear? Is Tony's patriarchal atitude to women unclear??? What planet are you people on so I can avoid going there????

Are you female? Because you seem to be taking onboard a whole lot of stuff that you seem to think women feel. And the women I know don't feel like that and nor do I.

If you are male then you are still on mars.

Just saw Palmer on aunty. This late night comedy show. I'm so voting for that guy, mother fingers!

He's standing as a candidate in my electorate - the local rag has him polling around 5%. Guess he's going to have to go back to his day job and play with his dinosaurs.

I like that he can get on a show like that and take P out of himself. He also expressed fine values of governance in his break up with the qld lnp.

How can 39.5% be undecided at this stage I mean what news are they waiting for

Maybe waiting for Slippery Pete to throw his hat in the ring......

Probably the people who want to know what's on offer rather than blindly follow one side.

Lol so there's still a chance you'll vote for Tony as you're so open minded then.

LOL he took his bat & ball and zipped only after the Gov told him he would never be allowed to build his 10,000 room Chinese enclave/Casino on the protected sand dunes of Coolum. Great governance!

Fairfax - Labor to lose by 22 seats: new analysis

Labor won't have to stay up late on the evening of September 7 for the bad news of the electoral result, according to a new analysis of betting market odds.


Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's party will lose the election by 22 seats, collecting 63 seats to the oppositions's 85, according to analysis done for The Australian Financial Review by statisticians Kaighin McColl and Leng Lee.


The analysis is based on betting data from August 11. ...

Abbott's judgement really is questionable. There is no comparison in sexy terms.

[insert images of hawkie in DTs vs Fiona Scott from the front page of The Oz]

iPhone photos are no longer valid images it seems.

Lol so there's still a chance you'll vote for Tony as you're so open minded then.

If he actually annunciates something more that 3 word slogans.

I was referring to his being kicked out of the LNP before they were in government IIRC, over the parties governance. Not state government.

He resigned kicking & screaming (after the election) because he was going to get the heave ho. He chucked a series of dummy spits on mining royalties, trains, ports, casinos you name it. Then went on a crusade about lobbying

The interview on 730 report involved a series of serious allegations about how the lnp was run. That's the basis of my position.

That would be nice I don't want any edge of the seat stuff

Will be interesting to see how he goes - I'll be sure to post the result given it's my electorate that he is trying to convince. FWIW I'm very happy that the LNP had the guts to say bugger off to it's biggest donor - the sand dunes of the coast are very pleased.

You've pinched that line from Skyfall where M calls James Bond a "sexist misogynist dinosaur"

Bond, at least, is intelligent and suave.

Still 1.11 for Tony with Centrebet though and 1.30 for the Greens to get 0 seats

Yep. Bookies are a great way to run a country.

The polls state pretty clearly what women think of Abbot.

Personally I don't know a single woman under 50 who can stand him.

Thought I'm a little unclear why someone needs to be a woman to find someone sexist. Maybe it's a bit like not being able to comment on small businesses unless you've run one ?

I never said bookies are a great way to run a country but in my experience people who are "putting their money where their mouth is" usually have a better grasp on the reality of the situation rather than someone who merely has a wish list.

The reality is Kev isn't actually up to it this time and TA despite his gaffs is miles ahead and the Greens are history.

Now I'm going to have a nice glass of cliff edge Shiraz that's just turned up from epiqure and relax knowing the country will soon be in good hands
