Dear Steele,

Thank You for the link.

It echos Katharine Murphy - political editor of
The Guardian's comments on Mr Morrison's Liberal
Party launch today, Sunday 12/05/2019.

I didn't watch the launch - but according to
Murphy, Scott Morrison was asking voters to forget
that the Libs have been more pre-occupied with tearing
each other down than they were in building the country
up.

To forget that they have wasted two terms in government -
wasted the loyalty of their supporters. To forget all
the disappointments they actually delivered. To forget that
they've been self-absorbed and rudderless and try to
imagine what they could deliver if only voters were
generous enough to send them back for a 3rd go.

It's a big ask.

I guess we'll see what the voters decide next Saturday.

This morning the news is all election and that will be the case all week
Scomos new housing offer, matched by Shorten, may not be good business practice
America kicked of the GFC in housing, as too many got home loans they could not pay
Another worthwhile read is the Tony Abbott one, seems his electorate now, for the first time, has more young voters than old, this may impact as the elderly are near welded on Liberals
Shorten [still behind in the prefered PM] has picked up three points Morrison lost two 51/49 it will be the targeted seats that win or fall for each party
Both sides are good at putting resources in to seats they target

Hi Belly,

The Liberals are getting desperate, I fronted the Federal (Liberal) member when he was out trying to press the flesh with locals. I asked what he (personally) had achieved for the local community in the last 3 years. Like a parrot, he tried the usual, 1.25 million jobs, etc, etc...cut him short. "Nah, I asked you what you have directly done for the local community in 3 years, not the future broad party promises". He's done nothing of course, just been part of the Liberals infighting in Canberra.

How naive is Paul, not knowing that ALL politicians, including the Greens, represent their parties, not the electorate. And, if you vote for an independent, he or she will be representing himself or herself and their own petty concerns.

Such ignorance explains his dumb posts.

ttbn, how are you going with your adulation of Corny Banana, the one you were trumpeting as the next messiah. You backed the wrong horse with that clown, did you not. What involvement have you ever had with politics? You lack of knowledge is astounding. Many politicians on both sides do much for their local community, its part of their job. You wouldn't know because you have never been involved.

Paul yes in the end most gets done by the seat holder just before an election
See scomo got a little out of balance, imitating a real estate agent this morning
He is trying but is a one man band as it would be hard to find a clean skin to help him out in his team
