How can Labor possibly have a battle of wits
with such unarmed opponents. And as for contributions
to any discussion - mud-slinging is Shadow Minister's
forte. That's all he knows - following Mr Abbott's
propagandist techniques of :

"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it
and eventually they will believe it."
(Adolf Hitler).

Or

"The most brilliant propagandist techniques will yield
no success unless one fundamental principle is borne
in mind consistently - it must confirm itself to a
few points and repeat them over and over."
(Joseph Goebbels).

Lexi,

You are partially right, All the coalition has to do is repeat Juliar's clip making a promise that there would be no carbon tax under a government she lead.

If Labor is so much smarter than the coalition, how come they are being thrashed so badly? There are none so blind as those that will not see.

Dear Shadow Minister,

As I stated earlier in politics stupidity is not a
handicap. And talking about simplistic solutions -
the Opposition has nothing to be smug about with
their lack of economic nous, adequate costings
and history of economic mis-management (not maintaining
the asset base). The following opinion piece
gives some food for thought on this issue:

Lexi,

All the polls show that the coalition is far ahead of labor w.r.t. being trusted to run the economy, and its record far outshines the last 4 years.

I am sure that an ex Labor premier will give an unbiased accurate assessment of the coalition.

Dear Shadow Minister,

My apologies. I didn't look too closely at
who the author of the link I cited was.
I was in a hurry and merely read the article,
not who wrote it. I guess I chose it because
I could relate to what was being said about
the competency of the Opposition. I'll now have to
try to find a more suitable link. Although, I
can't help but wonder whether it is at all
possible to be objective - when it comes to
politics?
