Breaking news: Newspoll has Labor’s lead down from 56-44 to 55-45. Since you all know about it by now, a link will suffice (although I will observe that Malcolm Turnbull’s ratings seem to have bottomed out). Here’s a first: Essential Research has the same result as Newspoll, with Labor’s lead plunging from 59-41 to 55-45. Further questions focus on the parties’ capacity to handle various issues, emissions trading schemes and climate change, and perceptions of politicians’ honesty (better than you might think).

Possum hoped it would be Faulkner, but that was a wish, not a prediction.
Regarding Turnbull’s own lobbying, here is a link to Turnbull’s statement on extending the deposit guarantee (from the Libs website)

GG he’s allready got one, her name is Christine
It was actually mind control beams. Be nice to me or I’ll turn you into a vegan
Have to be someone first class (as Rudd would say) to take on Special Minister of State – Arbib perhaps.
I know its a silly question – but how many outlets of the msm do you think will carry the comments from the bloke who lent rudd the ute in tonights news ??
Not many is my guess.
Nice :p
Looks like John Grant has friends from both sides of the political divide

The good thing about double entendres is they only ever have one meaning.
Dave, well done. At least you can get it right.
Hmmm… there are some VERY serious questions that must be answered. Right?
Possum 2602
If you have those things can you turn them on Fielding?
Socrates – they’re *mind* control beams.
The real question here is of course; just “what” was Mr Grant discussing for “two” whole hours with Mr Howard? Was he seeking any benefit? Mmmm
2611, lol.
Possum,
So they don’t work on Fielding?
They are a cunning lot at Family First.
Do any of you watch NSW Parliament? Have there been any questions asked about Broken Hill Hospital recently?
I think a full transcript of the conversation MUST be tabled in Parliament
Who gives a shirt? This is news?

Diogs,
There was one about some Adelaide quack who flew in and spent his whole day on his PC. Goodness knows what he was doing.
First thing Faulkner needs to do is buy a set of better looking spectacles. He looks like a relic of the 1970s.
GG
That quack has been asked to help the Minister respond to some disquieting questions about the state of Broken Hill Hospital so you’d better be nice.
Possum seems to be one step ahead of the curve quite a bit lately. Looks like the new strategy is coming unstuck quickly now too. Firstly, Fitzy then Rudd. Mmmm

No 2615
Watching the NSW Parliament is like watching a race to mediocrity.
They can always come clean about their plans for SlaveChoices. Let’s see how they go with THAT strategy.
Especially if that strategy is to continue to bring down Rudd. I would have thought that Labor has so much ammunition against the Coalition Members individually and collectively, up its sleeve, that this one could end up in an absolute massacre!
Diog, is Mrs D aware of this perversion of yours?
It’s a hare compared to the QLD Parliament tortoise.
Back to name calling. Remember that next time you winge about getting return fire !
Finns
I don’t watch NSW Parliament. I just wanted to know what all the fuss was. There’s letters and Ministerials flying everywhere. Yesterday there was a union ruckus in the hospital and the police ended up being called along with the media. It’s quite amusing here.
I don’t even watch Federal Parliament unlike you sickos.
Dave, it’s all they have left. Poor souls!
Those in the Defence Department who whiteanted Fitzgibbon will find that his replacement is no pushover!
As for Turnball and his smear squad: LMFAO.
To be fair, GP has a fair point. Faulkner has an uncanny resemblance to John Howard circa 1987.
Nah, they’ll be smearing Rudd’s kids next week.
“First thing Faulkner needs to do is buy a set of better looking spectacles. He looks like a relic of the 1970s”.
He looks like Clark Kent in those glasses. You know what happens when Clark takes off his glasses. He turns into Superman.
Careful what you wish for GP.
Why be fair to GP? He doesn’t deserve it!
scorpio – I struggle to accept them as fellow humans, let alone fellow aussies.
Particularly when they get up to things like distributing racist pamphlets in the seat of lindsay on the eve of the 2007 election
Dave, one of the best moments of Election Night 2007: David Bradbury winning Lindsay for the ALP in a landslide.
Faulkner, Albanese, Tanner, Swan (the treasurer of the world’s fastest growing advanced economy), the government is quite the powerhouse of talent.
Makes the Smear Squad of the Rainmaker, Sloppy Joe, Bimbo Bishop and WorkChoices Costello look decidedly oddball in comparison.
Maxine winning Bennelong was sweeter, the Rodent’s concession was sweeter still, Rudd’s victory speech was even sweeter, and the best part of all…………Generic Person was pissed off! HA HA HA
I said, “Doctor, . . . (Doctor . . .)
Mr. M.D., . . .(Doctor . . .)
Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me, What’s ailin’ me?”
(Doctor . . .)
He said, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yes, indeed, all you really need . . .(Is good lovin’)
Gimme that good, good lovin . . . (Good lovin’)

I wonder if we will have a Rudd Recovery? I can’t imagine Malcolm uttering the words.
Don’t forget Dutton, Robb(Mr Mogodon), Hunt(and his good mates the millionare solar panel developers), Tony Smith(Smirky’s love child).
Yep, a stellar lineup!
Did anyone mention Morgan? 58-42. Yawn.

Diogs,
Here’s a link to NSW Hansard. You might need to know some of the personalities though.
http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/web/common.nsf/V3HomeLA
2582 Oz – Sorry Oz, I meant ltep.
Morgan only 58-42.
I thought it would be better than that.
Still, there is always next time!
That poll is weird. It’s an update of the previous face to face poll from 21 May,
http://www.roymorgan.com/news/polls/2009/4379/
But they’ve added another 800 odd people to the sample that weren’t counted when it was first released.
There’s also a phone poll in there from the 4/5 of June showing 55/45
