Kevin Rudd has a 55 per cent approval rating and 31 per cent disapproval; Malcolm Turnbull’s figures are 43 per cent and 24 per cent. The sample produced a two-party result of 57-43 in favour of Labor: no further detail on voting intention is provided.

No one misses Costello.
Adam, Gillard is no Thatcher.
GP,
This is a politcal reonstruction of the Sam Peckinpah film, “The Wild Bunch”. It had all the victims dying in a slow motion of gore and degradation.
This is the Liberal’s fate for the next few years.
Deal with it!
Keep dreaming GG.
GP @ 194. She’s a very effective nonsense, I would submit. Julie blue eyes is going to have trubble with Swan, as she’s got absolutely no idea, none, zilch, about the economy. A mere assertion on my part, but hey, it hasn’t held you back.
GP,
Whistling in the dark I see.
Thank goodness
Thatcher is captivating. The greatest British PM in history.
Gillard is one of the finest polliticians around at the moment – dwarfs Turnbull in ability, style, control, strategy and delivery. All Turnbull really is hoping to trade on is a media programmed character manufacture and creating a myth of abilities higher than they are. In other words Turnbull has to rely on being faked into being a desireable person to elect. He is unable to do this himself using his charcter and abilities as they are.
So if I’ve got this right Morgan has gone from 55.5/45.5 to 57/43 since Turnbull’s election to the leadership. So why is the MSM wetting themselves with excitement on just how well Turnbull is doing. As they showed from the minute Rudd became opposition leader, the polls dont seem to matter when they dont support their argument
TP,
Dear oh Dear.
A measure of a politician is what she delivers to her constituency. Julia is a polly on the rise, but, let us not associate mystical powers before she actually delivers.
GP,
Where was Winston Churchill?
GP @ 28
You really need to seek help about that.
She is a good as any of them there at the moment and certainly superior to Turnbull on performance these past 18 months. And she has negotiated the tougher road to the top.
I did not have a comment @ 28 Winston.
TP,
Tell me, how is life better because of Julia?
Oh for goodness sake, this Saturday is the Festival of the Boot, Part 1. No one is going to be paying attention in Oz.

It’s much more loathesome.
loathsome
The greatest PM Britain has ever had was William Ewart Gladstone, “the people’s William.” Churchill was a great character and a great war leader, but not much use for anything else. Thatcher had brilliant political skills, I grant, but mostly used in the service of evil. Attlee deserves credit for achieving more of the program he was elected on than any other PM.
OK – @ 208 – you know what I mean.
Anyway, Gillard is certainly the star performer in Parliament at the moment.
But she needs to deliver on policy – her announcements on education and IR fall well short of what should be expected of a labor Government elected on a promise of abolishing Howard’s legacy.
Turnbull,
Now here is a man who is the head sales rep for the Liberal party used car lot.
The Liberal mark has done a few million miles but has blown a gasket & head needed replacing with a oil change. A wax & polish and WOW … “as flash as a rat with gold teeth”.
But a look under the bonnet says urrghh – needs new plugs, battery, gear box, exrtra degrasing, a starter motor change & the wheel allignment suspiciously keep veering to the hard right when it should be in the centre!!
No longer “car of the year” & driver polls suggest its best mile are behind it. A flash sales man but still the same old LEMON!!!
Harry,
You say that as if it is a bad thing.
Please clarify

Perhaps Howard’s legacy wasn’t so bad after all. It’s nice that the ALP has had the reality check it so dearly required.
I think you answered your own question…
Thatcher’s greatest skill – like Howard’s- was her own longevity.
Would YOU buy a car from this man???

And Winston, how do you suppose she remained in power for so long? Because her policies transformed Britain from a walled garden of insidious protection, to an open, freer economy.

Growler @ 223. I thought I’d made it clear. Please tell me where it’s not. BTW, will have to respond tomorrow, as am still recovering from drive up and back to Q’L'D, little sister’s death, and so forth.
My condolences HSO.

I think many Laborites owe the man a beer or three.
Howard went the full Monty but he blew it.. For a very long time, nobody is going to trust a Lib Leader as soon as he starts taking off his jacket

Turnbull will be in the lodge in 2010.
Thank you very much, GP. I sincerely hope you never have to confront this, but if you do, pray for the Catholics to look after you, if you don’t want your own way of dying.
A ski lodge perhaps

You wish.

Do retired MP’s get invited for tea?

Wot a silly exchange. Time to disappear.

The business spectator agrees that Gillard’s “Forward with Fairness” is simply “Workchoices Lite”:
