ScoMo stars in latest NewsPoll

I answered that in the other thread.  I checked and I can only have the "latest posts first" OR the "latest posts last".   I changed it to "latest posts first" the other day.

Oh, I just noticed that if you click "Add Reply" you get a clean page, rather than use "quote" and get all the previous posts and have to fiddle about.

Neffy,

The Political Animal, where BO is, has the option of sorting forward or backward and it works like a charm.

Can you put that feature here ?

Neffy, you well know that the Socialist Virus attacks people with a weak mind and makes them sick in the head and so the Socialist Extremist Reddy wants to see everything upside down.

Most other sites have the order as an option so wackos like Reddy can see everything upside down while normal people can see things in a normal chronological order.

As Reddy only posts irrelevant Socialist HATE he doesn't need to see the Last Post when he composes his unacceptable Socialist HATE.


The disturbed "mind" of an Extremist Socialist dependent on Socialist Handouts.

Wonder why this Topic sorts backwards ? Where's Neffy as she always knows what to do.

I changed it so the most recent post would be "on top" of the topic/thread rather than have to go through lots of posts to get to the latest post.

Well done Nef , leave it as it is!!

Tell that shill to F off  (or better still boot her off)

Neffy, could you make the sorting order an option like Oz I think does.

If you want to add anything you have to hit End to go to the end anyway and then you can't see the Last Post.   Is that the sound of a distant bugle ?

The extremist Socialist Reddy is haunting the place and flitting from site to site like a lost moth.  And normally unflappable Bobby seems a bit piqued.

But back to the topic.


Since the election Labor has suffered an identity crisis trying to decide whether to go left or right.  
They look and sound weary, out of energy and spent.  Criticising Morrison just falls flat and comes across as petty politics.  
The same old tired faces still hang around believing they can turn things around but still can’t see which direction to take. 
 They wasted years coming up with dud policies which they themselves couldn’t defend and now they continue to waste time.

As I see it the population had no alternative but to trust the government. There is no way that we could have achieved our pandemic results without taking a strong (but experimental because there is no precedent for this) line and on the balance Oz has fared better than virtually anywhere and is well placed for a return to relative normality.
I despise socialism as a curse on the free world but I'll hold my judgement on the "untangling of the web" until I see how it pans out. Personally I think that the coalition is very much about free markets and I hope and expect that they will be true to this. I reckon there are plenty of votes in doing so.

It will be interesting to see the election result...  but then Cobargo being rusted-on Labor according to one loud local and seemingly backed up by the actions of several others would see Labor returned, irrelevant or no.
Let's hope the best candidate wins.
The Albanese led ALP does not seem to have learned any lessons and yes they are playing politics and reversion to combat politics has fallen flat, very flat.
Most Australians are sick of it, but Labor apparently never learns.
Have they fixed their policies yet?

At least Scomo's plan is to fire-up the economy so 3/4 of the population will go back to the employ of the private sector.  ALP's long term plan - if they have any - would be to increase the percentage because more businesses would disappear under their 'sage' tutelage.

"Labor's reversion to combat politics has fallen flat".

I have to disagree. It's not a case of "reversion". Political stunts and games are all that contemporary Labor knows. They have nothing else to offer. And when the country faces a real crisis, as it does now, those tactics simply do not work. Particularly when the once sneeringly labeled "Scotty from marketing" is doing a competent job. How often do you hear that phrase now?

If I was Albanese I would be investing in a neck brace. Constantly looking over your shoulder can cause a lot of strain.

I'll bet good money Tanya Plibersek is counting the numbers, or Bill Shorten sees himself as rising again.


Pedro 7 MINUTES AGO
A waste of money either way Geoff.

In the public mind Labor is now irrelevant. It fails to get traction on anything. The mediocrity in their ranks is really quite astounding. The silence from them is deafening; interspersed very occasionally with the more deafening 'shrill'. So people simply have switched off.

Who ever they throw up as leader, it's same old same old. They have lost the traditional mainstream base, and it ain't coming home soon. Especially as Morrison is delivering more to them than Labor has for decades.

Labor hasn't learned the old adage: "If you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one!"

They have now debased themselves into a mindset of wishful thinking as their comfort food.

I admire Morrison for leaving the politics out of this pandemical crisis. I'm afraid I can't say the same thing about the leader of the Opposition and the likes of Bourke, Chalmers, Bowen and KK.  
It's like they are nitpicking, grandstanding and looking for political relevance when for once, since the second World War, a total bipartisan  approach should be adopted and politics put to one side.
The National Cabinet works that way - as Morrison has said red and blue go out the door when they meet, as it should be. Full credit to all members of that Cabinet be they Red or Blue. I think most Australians would be proud of them.

There is no stopping ScoMo now as he heads towards a landslide victory at the next election.



Scott Morrison’s steady hand pays off as voters show approval
SIMON BENSON 9:45PM MAY 17, 2020

Crisis or no crisis, Scott Morrison in his wildest dreams would and should not have expected to find himself in the electoral position he is now in, a year since his “miracle” election victory.

If anyone had predicted a government to be more popular 12 months into its third term, than it was when it went into it, they would have been belittled as barking mad.

Yet Morrison is heading a Coalition government with greater popular support that would see it increase its majority at an election, and personal approval ratings at record highs for a Liberal leader.

This is all the more remarkable considering the bleak economic outlook and the sobering announcement last week that 600,000 people had just lost their jobs.

But underlying this is also a fundamental realisation that many Australians have likely come to over the past two weeks that underpins this support.

In spite of some early and churlish criticism, Morrison has guided Australia through this crisis in a way that very few leaders have achieved, if any.

And there is a deepening of community consensus that Morrison and the national cabinet have spared the country from the worst ravages of the disease while inoculating the economy against collapse.

The country is not the same one it was six months ago. Morrison is not the same leader, and politics as usual has been replaced with a surprising level of rectitude and transparency from all levels of government that has reset the public debate.

At the same time, Labor finds itself spinning its wheels. While Anthony Albanese still enjoys positive approval ratings, Labor’s reversion to combat politics has fallen flat.

The primary numbers in the latest Newspoll suggest that the Coalition has picked up support from the left and the right. Combined, Labor and the Greens have fallen three points as Pauline Hanson slides into irrelevancy.

These are unprecedented times, which makes meaningful analysis difficult.

The first real test of the Coalition numbers, and Morrison’s personal support, may well come at the Eden-Monaro by-election.

Despite best attempts by the NSW Liberals and Nationals to swing a wrecking ball through the preselection, Morrison could be now slightly more optimistic that the Coalition could rewrite 100 years of history and pick the seat up from Labor.

The result may well answer the question as to whether the record approval ratings for Morrison are defined only by the pandemic and that party politics has little or no bearing in the current numbers.

GetUp! and Labor are in panic mode as ScoMo rides the Chinese trained COVID-19 horse to a landslide victory.



Coalition leading Labor 51-49 in latest Newspoll
18/05/2020


ScoMo, Australia's War Time PM, trounces the AnAl nobody.

According to the latest Newspoll popular support for the Morrison government has hit its highest level since September with the Coalition leading Labor 51-49 on a two-party-preferred basis.

Despite devastating unemployment numbers, the Newspoll also shows 60 per cent of voters are satisfied with the government’s handling of the economy.

The Coalition’s primary vote has benefited from a two point bump claiming 43 per cent while Labor’s vote slipped back one point to 35.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has maintained a dominant advantage as preferred prime minister leading opposition leader 56 to 29.
