Dear Belly/Paul,

We'll see what policies are offered prior to the election.
The Coalition's image has been tattered quite a lot, especially
over the past weeks. The next months should give us some
indication of where the country's heading.

Foxy Labor will win, but not before the biggest outbreak of false news fear and loathing yet seen in this country, and we have seen tidal waves of it before, that too is on the cards for the American midterms and next Presidential election, a return to the center is on, that by its very nature will bring about reforms on the right, as they confront the truth, voters in numbers large enough are not following them.

Hi Foxy and Belly,

I'm not for the grab bag of vote buying, and pork barrelling promises, or the three word slogans, nor am I into leader personality, these things, politicians engage in at election time, that's the "junk" of politics. I want here and now to be able to discern policy and direction they intend to inflict on Australia. I know most voters are apathetic when it comes to policy and direction, and they rely on the "junk" politics, that's the reality.

The kind of thing that gets up my nose is after five years of being in government the Coalition does not have a concrete energy policy, health policy, education policy, tax policy etc. Its all been a vacillation between competing interests of the hard right and soft left of the Liberal Party. It cannot continue, can Morrison stop it, I do not believe so. The change of leadership in no way has stifled the minority Hard Right faction, they all voted for Dutton, and are still very much active in their desire to pull the government in their direction. Tony Abbott and his group have no intention of compromising. The only saving grace I can see is the Hard Right don't hate Morrison with the same passion they did Turnbull. For Abbott it was personal with Turnbull as well as philosophical. I think Morrison is like Jim Hacker the compromise candidate for PM, and what a disaster was poor Jim.

light entertainment.

Paul you and I will not get much support for our views here, but policy not party is everything,and right now Liberalism on its trip further right, has some policy that should be toxic,in truth our two parties do too, yours has that NSW Communist hiding in your party, vote killing, mine dare not separate itself from the government on refugees/migration,the surge to the right will, after some time be reversed, not yet but post Trump it will be seen as just as toxic as the above.
Liberalism, with a Prime Minister who once said future generations can no longer rely on pensions, must return to its foundation type policies
