ScoMo shines in NewsPoll

I know ... but John Howard?  In the end I voted for Liberals, as usual.

No, no one needs paul keating

Labor needs another Paul Keating.  I almost voted for him. :shock:

No way labor can win a federal election for quite some time.

like the albo photo...  caption should read

albo's next job

Now that their Messiah ScoMo is back, Australians feel filled with hope and so they spend up big with confidence.

Anal and the Greenies rabbiting on about their Climate Change SCAM is ignored for the silly fraudulent trash it is.

Even the scurvy Greenies who caused the bush fires by banning clearing of undergrowth are ignored along with their idiotic screeching hysterical Grata ThunderBung sheila.

Thousands of Boxing Day bargain hunters have rushed into stores across the country for what is likely to be a record-breaking day of spending — following what could be the worst Christmas shopping season in more than a decade.

Key points:
Sales in the lead-up to Christmas were predicted to be the weakest since the global financial crisis
But shoppers are predicted to smash records during the Boxing Day sales
Shoppers hunting for bargains began lining up outside stores on Christmas Day
Australian Retailers Association executive director Russell Zimmerman said after a slow start, Boxing Day sales were on track to hit a record of more than $2.6 billion around the country.

The most eager shoppers arrived outside large department stores around the country on Christmas Day to beat the crowds inside when doors opened as early as 5:00am on Boxing Day.

Melbourne resident Jenny Penev said she and her friend had arrived at the Bourke Street mall about midnight to be among the first inside.

"We've been doing it for the past few years so it's kind of like a tradition for us now," she said.

But she noted a difference to previous years: "It's not as busy as before, I think," she said.

Oh isn't our hero ScoMo wonderful ? Such a caring nice man. Look how he is caring for our heroic fire fighters fighting the fires the Lunatic Extremist Greenies caused.

While fowl old Anal exploits the fires for a sick foto shoot.

Are the evil Greenies now scamming the fire victims ?

The voters sure knew what they were doing when they chose ScoMo for safety and security.




Australian PM announces paid leave for some volunteer firefighters

PERTH, Australia — Australia’s beleaguered prime minister announced Tuesday that volunteer firefighters from the federal public sector will receive paid leave entitlements in a move to help contain wildfires that have ravaged parts of the country.

About 5 million hectares of land (19,305 square miles, or about one-third of New York state) have burned nationwide over the past few months, with nine people killed and more than 950 homes destroyed. New South Wales, the country’s most populous state, has received the brunt of the damage, with around 850 homes razed.

Authorities have warned that the fires in New South Wales could fester for months, causing more angst for exhausted firefighters. The opposition Labor party has pressed the government to consider compensation for volunteer firefighters.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison, however, said federal public servants who volunteer with state rural fire services to battle the blazes would get 20 days of paid leave on top of their regular annual and sick leave.

“With bushfire seasons starting earlier, one of the things I’ve heard on the ground is that some people are dipping into their other leave entitlements to stay out there battling blazes,” Morrison told reporters in South Australia, which last week had 86 homes destroyed after wildfires flared in catastrophic conditions.

“Today’s announcement is about ensuring our volunteer firefighters can keep focused on the job at hand,” the prime minister said.

Morrison, who has been under pressure since taking a much-criticized family vacation to Hawaii during the wildfire crisis, urged the private sector to implement similar measures.

“We know this does not address the situation for self-employed and small businesses directly, but it does mean those working for larger organizations can step in and take some of the load from those volunteers who work for themselves or small businesses,” he said.

Cooler temperatures Tuesday in New South Wales provided temporary relief, but authorities warned that conditions could deteriorate this weekend due to warmer and windier weather.

Fire danger ratings remained very high in parts of southern New South Wales and were between high and moderate for the rest of the state.

Morrison on Tuesday toured an area in South Australia state where up to 200 volunteer firefighters continued battling a 25,000-hectare (96-square-mile) blaze.

“Today may be Christmas Eve, but for so many firefighters, it is going to be another day out there protecting their communities. And I thank them for their service,” Morrison said.

Meanwhile, South Australia state police said wildfire victims were being targeted by possible scammers in an attempt to access personal financial details.

In the suspected scam, victims received phone calls from people claiming to be from their bank and offering to provide disaster relief funds before asking for bank details.

It seems ScoMo can do no wrong while Anal can do no right.  

GetUp!'s clumsy amateurish childish attempt to create some FAKE NEWS about ScoMo's holiday has flopped badly while Anal's puerile attempt to show off in front of the bush fires got only public derision.

If ScoMo has God on his side then who has Anal got on his side ? The Devil ?


Labor still has not learnt its lesson.  

Socialism, Indentity politics and Political Correctness are election poison, especially to the middle class. 

The Greens will remain an activist inner city minority party, and will get smaller the more people wake up to the effect of their policies on everyday Australians. 

So what is Labor to do? 

First they have to clean out the Far Left factions that have sway over policy and get back to being a party of the middle, a Hawke/Keating Government putting people first, focusing of jobs, economic growth and walking far away from the extreme Greens. 

But that won't happen as Labor is so compromised by its lurch to the Left that it will be occupying the Opposition Benches for a long time to come.

Voters are realising that the Left, which is predominantly Labor and Green, continue their attempts at brain washing them and their children on all sorts of social issues, climate issues and to manipulate their futures into one weird cult or another. 

Most of us are traditional, two parent families that want to live our lives in peace, work, save and raise our kids as we desire, not to be dictated this is how you must do it.

Until Labor disengages from the lawless union elite which essentially run it and stops trying to appeal to a constituency of the woke it can forget attracting middle Australia and it can forget any prospect of gaining government.



Advice from one loser to another

What do you expect! Labor has really nothing to offer the people; if you count bad policy, bad economic management and the results of getting in bed with the Greenies who CAUSED 1000 homes destroyed and massive bush fire damage to the country.

The only measure in which Labor led was among households earning below $50,000, which includes pensioners and people receiving some form of welfare support. 

And the above is why Labor never shuts up about welfare and Government services. They will increase the above number by offering more freebies at every election to try and win more votes. 

Even the humble Blue Collar Worker who toils hard knows it.



Labor fails to win back the middle, Newspoll finds

A majority of voters in every household income bracket above $50,000 a year now claims to support the Coalition as Labor fails to broaden its appeal to middle Australia or win back the aspirational families and workers who turned against it at the last election.

Anthony Albanese is struggling to arrest the flight of male voters away from Labor, ­despite the Opposition Leader maintaining a greater net ­approval rating than Scott Morrison.

An exclusive Newspoll analysis conducted for The Australian shows that although Labor has made modest gains in Queensland since the election, popular support still remains at historical lows, despite the recent shift in policy to get behind coalmining communities.

Labor is also trailing the ­Coalition on primary vote in its traditionally dominant state of Victoria and has flatlined in NSW, where the party has been dogged by a continuing corruption ­investigation.

The analysis, which used an aggregate of three Newspoll surveys conducted since early Nov­ember, shows the depth and breadth of Labor’s electoral battle.

While the two-party-preferred split of 51 per cent to 49 per cent in favour of the Coalition is largely unchanged since the election, the Coalition commands a majority of voters across most demographic groupings, with an overall lead in primary support of 41 per cent to 34 per cent.

When broken down by education levels, the Coalition leads among those with university ­degrees, TAFE or technical qualifications and people without any tertiary education at all.

Labor also continues to have a problem with male voters.

A total of 45 per cent of men claim to back the Coalition against 32 per cent supporting Labor. While the gap for female voters was closer, they still favoured the Coalition, 38 per cent to 35 per cent.

The greatest challenge for Labor, the poll suggests, is the revelation that its base support has narrowed to low-income earners, where it leads the Coalition 37 per cent to 35 per cent.

Among people who had an annual household income of $50,000 to $99,000, which would include essential services workers such as nurses, firefighters and police, 43 per cent supported the Coalition, compared with 35 per cent supporting Labor.


Scott and Jenny Morrison in a Christmas Day video message posted on Instagram and tweeted to followers.

This group was a prime target of the first stage of the Coalition’s income tax cuts policy.

The greatest margin in favour of the Coalition was among those with household incomes of between $100,000 and $150,000, with a split of 50 per cent to 28 per cent.

There was a similar picture among higher-income earners targeted by Labor’s class war on the wealthy — those earning household income of more than $150,000 — with the government holding a 21-point lead, 50 per cent to 29 per cent.

The analysis period does not include the past fortnight, during which the Prime Minister came under attack for taking a holiday during the bushfire crisis, which drew an apology and an early return to Australia.

The Newspoll results reflect the findings of Labor’s post-­election review, which cited Bill Shorten’s unpopularity and its “risky” tax policies as key factors in its surprise loss.

On the headline numbers, little has changed for either side since the election.

The average primary vote for Coalition is down slightly to 41 per cent, with Labor rounding up to 34 per cent.

The two-party-preferred vote of 51-49 favouring the Coalition mirrors the election result.

For the first time, Newspoll surveyed voters across a range of household income levels and their levels of education.

The only measure in which Labor led was among households earning below $50,000, which includes pensioners and people receiving some form of welfare support.

Age demographics were also broadened in the poll to break up the traditional group of over 55s to include two new categories — 50 to 64, and over 65s.

The support for the Coalition among over 65s was 52 per cent to 30, reflecting the strength of what is considered an important Liberal Party base. The second-strongest age group for the Coalition was 35-to-49-year-olds with a margin of 41 per cent to 34 per cent.

Labor’s support among millennials, 18-to-34-year-olds, was only a point ahead of the Coalition, 35 per cent to 34 per cent. Labor is in a fight with the Greens for the young vote, with 22 per cent of this age group supporting the minor party.

Mr Albanese will take heart from gains in Queensland, which will go to a state election next Nov­ember, with the LNP sliding from 43 per cent of the primary vote at the election to 40 per cent. Labor made up ground from its rec­ord low of 27 per cent to 29 per cent.

The Opposition Leader this month performed an about-face during a four-day listening tour on the Adani coalmine, which was a central issue in Queensland at the election, in a bid to win back coalmining communities.

Yet the two-party-preferred split in Queensland remains strong, with 55 per cent to 45 per cent in favour of the LNP; Mr Morrison also has a commanding lead in the head-to-head contest, with 49 per cent backing him over Mr Albanese on 30 per cent.

Labor has also failed to recover the ground lost to the Coalition in Victoria, where the ALP had boasted prior to election day that it would win four to six seats.

The Coalition leads 40 per cent to 38 per cent on primary vote, which marks a single-point gain for both parties on the election result. Mr Morrison also enjoys strong support as preferred prime minister, with a lead of 49 per cent to 32 per cent.

With the Greens performing strongest in Victoria, Labor remains ahead after preferences on a split of 53 per cent to 47 per cent.

Mr Albanese, however, enjoys a slightly higher net approval ­rating nationally, minus 3, than Mr Morrison, who is on minus 5.

Popular support for the ­Coalition remains strongest in NSW where it leads 42 per cent to 35 per cent on primary vote.

The total sample size was based on surveys of 4562 voters between November 7 and December 8.

The sample sizes in South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania was regarded as too small for a separate analysis. The figures for these states, however, were included in total figures.

Coupla COMMENTS from the man in the street to inspire the Lefties

Greg 38 MINUTES AGO
With Labor’s nation wrecking policies announced early during the last election, I now fully understand what they intend to do with my savings, my pension, my investments and through those fruitless initiatives they will degrade my health and my family wellbeing.
Vote Labor - never again.


Yvonne 38 MINUTES AGO
The socialist republic of Victoria - of course the Greens would be ahead - we have useless Di Natale and Bandt in Victoria - not a clue between them.

Linda 36 MINUTES AGO
2019 will be remembered for dodging political disasters. Australia dodged a bullet when commonsense voters ruled Shorten ineligible to hold high office and the UK a cannonball when voters overwhelmingly rejected Corbyn-communism. So newsflash to politicians: voters prefer the middle ground, not hard-left communism, Marxism or unionism. 

Kerry 32 MINUTES AGO
The majority of people making 50,000 are paying very little tax, why is it such an issue. The mentality that this society owes you is not the solution.  People had better start voting for policies that  will generate revenue. Dams and reservoirs system that produce food.  Labor is playing with the issue that taxation will win them votes. The true issue is that they are not responsible with expenditure and future health of the country, it is called planning for the future, we are running out of money.
