Gee, just noticed my bad Gramma. Sorry all!
A swing to labor is still a swing to labor.
Good result but the sunday mail will spin it a win for the idiot
Sweet dreams Fiona!
Joe6pack, agreed. Especially in this toxic media environment, and going to the polls so soon after an election.
Channel 7 News and their association with Yahoo is a big problem for Labor. I was glad to hear they have lost the top spot for nightly news. I avoid 7 as much as possible.
Having said that I will probably check the INXS story they have on tommorow night.
To bring this government down what needs to happen is the economy keeps ticking over OK till later this year, then starts tanking from then on. The blame will fall on the Libs.
This will most likely happen without any outside help due to the geniuses running the country now however a bit of extra help from us would not go astray. Just remember towards the end of year how you really don’t want to spend any money. Save it up for when the adults are back in charge.
Small percentage points movements in elections are dependent on so many factors that who can know them all?
A win’s a win’s a win. But the commentariat’s set the bar for Labor success several metres up in the air, they were never going to get over it & this is what’ll be focused on. How could anyone vote for a party headed by Abbott???
‘nite Fiona.
Yeah, I guess that’s right. This is an unusual byelection in which the challenging party candidate had a bigger profile and budget. And there’s still nearly 3 years to go for the next federal election so Labor still has a lot of time to solidify a lead.
Time to put the
Glassonglasses down.As has already been suggested The Libs wasted Glasson. They should have found him a better seat to contest.

Thanks, I think.
Night whoever’s left.
I’d have thought that from Collier’s point of view the crims would’ve lost. The Union Boss didn’t get up.
hilarious
Some irony there, a Newscorp employee criticizing someone for allegedly associating with criminals.
Has she read an English newspaper at any time in the last couple of years?

“prefer”. FFS!!!
If I’ve read the ABC election results correctly, at close of counting last night ALP had a swing of PLUS 0.3%
BK – “mostly prefer”; can’t be steppin’ on their 2nd Amendment “rights” now.
Seems legit:

“Mr Brandis said, regardless of the end result, the swing from the Labor Party was a loss for Opposition Leader Bill Shorten.”
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/labor-holds-rudds-former-seat-in-byelection-20140208-328wq.html#ixzz2slbh7c4s
What Brandis SC DH actually said was “a loss for electricity Bill Shorten”. Classy as always.
“Can’t buy me love”:
A swing from the accepted percentage, yes..but to whom?…
A needed win to Labor…would’ve liked to see a definate swing away from the filth..but then, it is “Can-Do” country….
The entire case of what happened to the asylum seekers being burnt is dependant on the public perception of those asylum seekers…with the govt’ going in hard-sell on them being “illegals” and therefore “branding” them and promoting an unsympathetic attitude in the Aussie racist psyche, I doubt there will be much sympathy in the mainstream.
This is a dangerous and destructive path we go down as a nation…greater nations and empires than ours have been wiped off the historical map by a kind of ‘self-immolation” politics….class against class, brother against brother …and the rest you know.
The gullible voter is playing into the hands of the plutocracy by giving them a head of steam to wipe out social saftey-nets and install economic rationalist “dog-eat-dog” principles…These unprincipled ‘CEO’s’ have no loyalty to country nor nation..nor peoples, nor families….they move and reside where business interests favour them…a problem arises with legalities…simple…move on, corrupt, move on again..debase, disgrace, destroy….move on to the next…like a parisitical virus seeking a healthy body to infect.
I think you know who I mean !
Just had a think about the 2PP project result figures. If I am not mistaken they currently reflecting the current National polling figures, no?
Aaargh! Switch brain on!
Funny that HoJo and the abbott are on a cost cutting spree yet can find millions for all their Inquiries and Royal Commissions. We can only hope that the abbott and his rotten party find themselves with a noose around their own necks as they pursue their vindictive agenda to do away with unions.
Insiders reports that the Royal Commission into unions is a done deal. Nothing like a govt going after its political opponents.
Robyn Parker in the news again, as usual for all the wrong reasons. What a shame she isn’t in federal politics. With her record of incompetence she’d be a shoe-in for a ministry. She makes Grunt look almost capable.
NSW Environment Minister Robyn Parker should have been sacked long ago. Within months of becoming a minister she was already being referred to as ‘trouble-prone’. She’s the incompetent fool who told us logging ‘protects koalas’.

This was only two months after she had been in trouble for not telling the people of Stockton that the Orica plant had leaked toxic gases. She said her name had been left off an email from her own department and anyway it was all Labor’s fault. The public – well, some of them – found out about it three days later when Ms Parker made an announcement in parliament.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-23/parker-criticised-by-orica-leak-inquiry/3847580
There have been repeated calls for Ms Parker to be sacked, but she keeps on keeping on and stuffing up. There have been many more problems for her. Today’s revelation is just the latest in a long list. Here’s hoping the voters of Maitland give her the boot next March and go back to Labor.
Labor polling two weeks ago showed a Glasson win in Griffith.

Jaycee – your comment re plutocracy: +1
Palmer buying his seat in Parliament is a classic example of plutocratic behaviour.
Griffith by election Terri Butler did well- she was only pre selected December 14th,2013.
Bill Glasson had become known in the previous campaign and had lots of cash spent and lots of party heavy weights on his side.
Minus factors for her were resentment at having to vote again, she’s not Kevin Rudd, she’s female( I know, but a rich seam of misogyny has been exposed as a factor), as well as having little time to establish profile. Given those factors I think she deserves praise and congratulations..
Good to see a brunette win the election. There are too many blondes around …
What has it become when anybody has to discuss a seat-winning ALP candidate getting congratulations and kudos? What a mean-spirited little country we have become.
Anyway, off to Chinese New Year lunch!
Happy New Year!
Leone,
Stop being sexist, if incompetent male fools can be ministers in CoAl gov’ts, then so can incompetent female fools. :devil:

Dr Glasson: “Message to Mr Shorten: people don’t like negativity”…
