    i don’t want Howard returned either, but he always seems to manage a catastrophe of some sort to get the voters back on his side. He is just sleazy and sneaky enough to “conjure” another scare for the voters.
    Like many posters here, I long to see the end of the most immoral, corrupt government this country has ever seen, but I just can’t help but feel that he has form on his side……like trying to turn the inevitable interest rate hike to his advantage…the “interest rate rise we have to have”.
    I am so scared for this country, I just want to go to sleep until it is all over.

    What are you people on? There is statistically no change. The Libs primary vote hasn’t moved.

    Thanks Gary! Iam going to bed somewhat calmed down, and after listening to Anthony Green on lateline, I feel a bit better as well.
    By the way, does EVERYBODY go to bed at this time of night?

    It’s mighty quiet here tonight Will. I think it may have to do with the changes being made here.

    HarryH (530) My post addressed an insidious tendency of some posters to offensively categorise sections of the voting population as ‘greedy’ or ‘lacking compassion’. To observe that tendency is, itself, divisive, and self indulgent is not controversial.
