Get it right, Oz. Colin Barnett is the highest Liberal at the moment. Campbell Newman is now second.

What better way to be “seasoned” than lose an election. Might get some humility to boot.

The Canberra Times again today had Labor stickems on the front pages ….. No editorial for the election though, suspect that will be in Saturday’s paper now …. the main thrust of that poll in today’s paper vis a vis the Lib leader seems to be that he is too young and inexperienced. I’ve no idea about him myself and told the caller when I was polled I had no opinion about Zed but irregardless of any opinion about Zed, I was voting Labor anyways. Even 1 in 5 Lib voters told the pollsters that he needed more “seasoning”

Rofl. Liberal in-fighting is by no means the only issue that makes them a completely pathetic group of people, but it is one.

The irony of your second paragraph is that the Liberal’s actually aren’t that concerned with spending more on public infrastructure. But they did copy Labor’s health policy.

How can anyone find any candidate who is running, wothwhile voting for. The labor governmet has done liile for Canberra, raising taxes, fares, registration fees, the canberra Busfire Levee, (Why are we still paying that, closing schools, millions wasted on getting “Consultants” opinions for the outcome of the bushfires, “Gay marriage” what a joke. The GST was brought in to take the place of abolishing ridiculous stamp duty fees, why has that not been done??? In 1988 Canberra said NO to self government, and look what happened we were inundated with oxygen thieves, with no clear direction, still none and nothing for the future.
Yeh build another dam “idiots,” it needs to rain to fill the damn thing, install pay parking in places where it was once said that pay parking would not be implemented, close a hospital (we dont need it) yeh goodonya, is there plans for another???
I could go on..

No 24

They are not fit for government because one of their candidates got some campaign material printed? Dear oh dear oz.

How about focussing on the real issues like the poor services, closed schools and road congestion that prove Stanhope to be an utter failure.

“Baseless attacks on Zed”?

I don’t recall making any “attacks” on Zed, I’m saying the Libs are not fit for government. And the article highlights the point.

Anyway, something seems to be resonating considering Zed’s preferred leader rating has dropped 4 points.

No 22

Oz, I’m a Liberal supporter either way. And frankly, your baseless attacks on Zed are not resonating.

You made a judgement in 4 minutes? That was rather quick.
