Sky News reports tomorrow’s Newspoll at 52-48. The Australian reports a sample size of 2614, but no primary votes. Normally you wouldn’t doubt the result with four polls telling you 52-48, 52-48, 54.5-45.5 and 57-43, but surely there’s some significance to the fact that the two closest polls of the year have come in the day before polling day.

I was a regular (daily) user of public transport in Sydney until Dec 06
and Bob Carr has a great deal to answer for, it is a pity he is not around to be held accountable for his “achievement”

U all know Leigh Sales tipped a Liberal win?
Leave it alone. You will go blind. Stick to pamplets in lindsay
She was on radio but she did have a stern schoolmistress tone on when she said it ShowsON.
I’ll go with 83 seats to Labor. But, despite all the angst, money, tears and energy channelled solely into the outcome tomorrow, it’s not just about the final seat count.
As a great man said “The journey is more important than the destination, after all becoming is more important than being”.
ESJ and you think the Libs would be piling money into new infrastructure? No chance. In the entire time of the WA Court government not one extra metre of rail was laid.
Who’s Leigh Sales?
Yes George not everybody gets to feast off cabcharge and comcars
mmmmmmmmm, yes, very profound, Diogenes, very profound.
Edward StJohn @ 1194, you have no idea mate, no idea at all.
Yes – who is Leigh Sales????
The previous lib state govt for all its sins did put a lot of money into rail in NSW.
What I find hilarious is all these Federal Liberal MPs running on a promise to ban car hoons and crime from their local areas. Excuse me, isn’t that a local government responsibility?
LTEP
actually in the history of the state Libs have never laid a metre of rail AND they have pulled up rail

Kroger is a pretty boy version of Gerard Henderson
“PRETTY” Is not a word I would associate with kroger..
me thinks.. arsehole !
And there we have it: Lose the election please is the concern troll.
Because as we all know the Libs always make the trains run on time.
Yeah, she has that tone when she is wearing her gold shirt.
Edward StJohn Says: “The previous lib state govt for all its sins did put a lot of money into rail in NSW.”
Oh, FFS
Leigh Sales: Former ABC U.S Correspondent, now their National Security Correspondent and fill in Lateline host. She’s also written a book on national security matters.
any update on polls tonite- do they all still sy its an ALP win?
I rang up the video store yesterday and got them to keep a copy of Dons Party. I foolishly thought it might be out (what a inner city idiot dolt). Anyway I am going to watch it tomorrow early afternoon. Have a sleep after that and then put in until the end effort even if it is called early. I have never watched the movie but as in many things these days feel I know all about it . I even know that renting it may be a bad omen.
The trains in Sydney work fine> I’ve not had one run late in two years.
Anyone else note the blink rate of Kroeger on LL – it was enough to get him committed!!
I admitted I was a concern troll already so can we please stop discussing it.
Yeah, we know LTEP is really a Liberal troll pretending to be an ALP pessimist.
George-climate change is a left wing conspiracy made up by people who want to destroy free enterprise and free markets and who have nothing better to do.
Oh so sorry, I haven’t read all your drivel yet.
“Lose the election please is the concern troll.”
No he is just an arsehole. period.
Tory Crimes: George-climate change is a left wing conspiracy made up by people who want to destroy free enterprise and free markets and who have nothing better to do.
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
Pure comedic genius there Tory – absolute gem!
Dave,
Trioli says the Newspoll is last of the campaign, but what about final Morgan?
Does that make me the good guy Dave 1215?
bed time, george you too you have to be up early
Trioli was acting like a Liberal hack at the National Press Club! Laughing at Kroger’s jokes and flirting while taking Carr to task? Not sure who I hate more out of those two
The bright side was that Bob Carr looked out of the corner of his narrowed eyes at Kroger and sicked him.
What irritates most about Kroger is that he gets all these gigs pontificating and gets to sneers at guys (in the non-gendered sense of the word) who’ve done the hard yards in politics and he has done…..jack s**t.
Every Friday night under Trioli will be worst LL ever from now on. Unless Labor wins and she gets the sack.
Coalition by 2 has been my tip since day one.
Okay, I know it’s Trioli. Just reporting.
OK bed now and in the morning – Booths!
looking forward to being taunted by Libs hoping to get YR@W volunteers to fit the union thug stereo types.
Mark at 1209
You must be joking
Which train line have you been travelling on? maybe I should move out there, it sounds like public transport arcadia
Do you think this suspect Newspoll will make some people sittiing on the fence come over to the Labor camp? In hindsight, probably a good thing for Rudd, and it backs up what he’s been saying for weeks about this being a close election.
Anyone else in N.S.W watch Stateline? Mark Arbib was being very negative about the ALP’s chances of picking up Coalition seats in this state, or it was a very convincing acting performance.
Sol of Newspoll has now been on the Nine late news for 10 minutes talking it up for the coalition.
good luck BBD.
Theres plenty more where that came from George like interest rates will never rise under a Liberal Government
Feel quietly, calmly confident.
Settled on 94 last week & the gut feel hasn’t changed.
Bye John 57.
Drought breaking rains are coming with kevin 07.
Yep between win and landslide.
So for those who ave been asking… i got some more clarification…. the last major Lib tracking finished Wed-Thurs night…. and it showed numbers similar to Galaxy / newspoll…. so Libs def still behind… but closing
Brothers!!!
I think something is going up on the Morgan site just now, I’ve been on the site for a while and just now, I can’t refresh and get an error when I try to connect
AWWWWWW shid!! I’m nervous
Love all the Libs who complain about that Labor is spending too much money and then say that the Libs would spend more on Transport.
Are the betting markets closed now?
Leigh Sales is a redhead, so very hot. Freckles yes but ones you can very much come to terms with.
Brings tears to a old mans eyes.(Just turned 40)
Labour 56 TPP 95 seats
Time to mount your colours. What do the rest of you guys say.
hey centaur_007, Ionly sleep 4 hours a night – I’ll be there at 8 no probs!
Overheard on the train tonight – young girl talking to her friend.
“I’m just voting against Howard. He hasn’t done anything. He’s done Workchoices and it’s sh*t. You know I work hard, I do 38 hours, you know I do heaps of overtime but I don’t get paid for it and that’s because of Workchoices. It’s sh*t.”
Says it all really.
esj no. You are just another troll. Just a common garden variety one.
You think you are “special” (mummy told you -always) but all the boys at school said you were a drop kick – they were right – “slow eddie”
FWIW, I’m as confident today of a Liberal win tomorrow, as I was 6 months ago.
Labor will gain 10 seats, and 52% of the 2PP.
John Howard *WILL* greet Sunday morning as Prime Minister (sadly).
(Andrew – $200.00 on a Coalition victory)
