Rudd (not Labor) can win : Comments

By Graham Young, published 28/6/2013

The polling shows the Liberals dropping 6 percentage points, Labor up 3 percentage points and the Greens up 4. This puts the parties in a similar position to October 2010.

Hasbeen, I don't often agree with you but on this occasion, I completely endorse your comment.

Ah, bliss, no more Gillard!

Hasbeen,

Agreed, Gillard was an embarrassment, both for the way she gained power and for her performance as PM.

There area whole lot of reasons why the Gillard govt was so unpopular, but Rudd being better than Gillard was not one of them.

I'm not all that sure the greens can maintain their increase in the polls.
They have to be associated with the worst parts of the Gillard policy paradigm!
In fact many might conclude they forced her to accept the carbon tax she promised not to introduce, as their pound of flesh price for incumbency!?
Gillard has paid the ultimate price, and if we believe in a fair go, so also should the greens.
And, I'm almost certain Labour's electoral prospects will be further improved, if they move their preferences away from the greens!
Particularly, if they consider the electoral harm done to them by the green intransigence over an ETS; and or, a regional refugee policy.
They would be better served by preferencing a far more pragmatic Katter; and or, an eccentric Palmer?
And Labour will not be hurt by their new attitude towards marriage equality!
And refugees who arrive by irregular means minus any identifying documentation, ought to be denied anything besides automatic repatriation.
We could increase/double our regular refugee intake, if those applying keep their documentation and applied for a visa, where that is possible.
The fact that boat people have destroyed critical identification, which they need to actually transition to Indonesia or Malaysia, also identifies them as economic migrants!? One doesn't destroy information that supports their case!
Rudd would be well advised to continue to call these people economic migrants, rather than genuine asylum seekers; most of who are forced to wait many more years for their turn, courtesy of this trade!
Automatic repatriation would deny the people smugglers any product to ever sell to anybody!
And as the very first consequence, end the terrible drowning of hundreds of men women and children at sea!
Rhrosty.
