In aggregate, voters want low migration, as per ON policy. According to Labor pollster Kos Samaras, in effect this is "not allowed".

According to Samaras Theory, one can't win government without the "most diverse" (migrant-dominated) city electorates, of which Labor holds ~ 50. Ergo, world-beating mass migration, 4eva.

Mark Carney addresses Parliament today. Defying Samaras Theory, he's slashed net migration, to give Canadian voters a housing break. You won't find mention of this, at ABC and other embedded Australian media.

It is hard to believe anyone and anything, including polls. John Howard I think it was, said that election results are the only polls that matter.

Whichever way the dills vote, they will get what they deserve.

we have to rely on what people say with their vote, or else we do not support democracy.

My opinion is people will vote Labor for a while yet because they clearly see it as better than the Coalition with the latter perceived to be not up to it.

For the Coalition, it needs to do well in Melbourne and Sydney, or both.

But muscular right wing bs will not cut the mustard, as Turnbull notes.

Your average voter doesn't seem to realise that both branches of the uniparty have put Australia in peril by wiping out the country's manufacturing and cheap energy, as well as blighting farmers with red tape, and almost completely ignoring defence. Not to mention mass immigration and multiculturalism.

Currently, the one they have both ignored for yonks: not enough fuel storage when things in the Middle East go bang.

For the Coalition, it needs to do well in Melbourne and Sydney, or both.
Chris lewis,
So, what you're saying is hat the Coalition will need to sell out Public Service positions & Welfare allowances to people who will in all likelihood never contribute to Australian society in a positive way ?

The most effective attack on Labor is to delegitimise the Greens. Without the Greens Labor flounders.
The Greens and their nonsense, escape Scott free. That should change.
