Dear Belly,

I don't think her "die-hard" followers stop to think.
They follow her blindly - which is sad for them.

BTW: Did you watch Mr Shorten on "Q and A" last night?

I thought he did very well.

It will be interesting to see if Mr Turnbull will accept
the invitation to appear on the show and answer questions
from the audience - like Mr Shorten did?

Agree Foxy, yes saw Bill, the one I knew and worked for, not sure why he has such low personal polling but that Bill on that program is the one I know we will get after the election as PM.
First super Saturday them spring election

Dear Belly,

He answered each question - did not give us the usual
spin along party lines. It was refreshing to have a
person be so up-front with everything. Most impressive.

We could probably all learn from a person who sticks to the topic.

Canem Malum,

Not only sticks to the topic but makes us think
and does not present us with short-sighted
assumptions, and vague, sweeping, generalisations
or talks in slogans. And in politics that's rare.

Well while the question is can one nation survive, the coming election will ask,and answer, can a focus on Labors leader get voters to over look just how bad this government has been?before my spell from these pages I thought and said Turnbull would be just as hard for Labor to remove as Howard, how wrong I was! this time the half senate election, in that half baked house that is the only reason Hanson has any power,I suspect even more minority type party victory's, because quite frankly, far too many want far better from the big two, maybe far more than any one in power can deliver
