Foxy,

You need to read more than the left whinge sites you continually quote if you want to get any credibility.

Secondly the coalition has a 2 seat majority, with Katter as another potential back up.

Shadow Minister,

Right back at you.

You go first. Lead by example.

As for Katter? What about Pauline Hanson?

Desperate times for the government.

Interesting times ahead for us all.

See you on another discussion.

Foxy,

You claimed "And the government is currently hanging on to power by one seat. Not a safe and adequate win."

I pointed out that for Labor to challenge the coalition they would need the support of all the green and independent MPs and the coalition would need to lose 3 MPs.

As Pauline has no lower house seats that is a moot point, but one nation is the mirror of the greens.

Shadow Minister,

What is important is how will the Coalition seek
to renew itself - both in terms of ideas and
candidates?

Foxy,

I am puzzled as to why you are so certain that it is the coalition that is in need of renewal?

With all things being equal, after the dumping of two Liberal leaders and the pre election infighting labor should have won a thumping majority. That the coalition returned with an increased majority could only have been a massive rejection of Labor's policies and its swing to the left.

Given the selection of the left faction Albo as Labor leader I can't see Labor moving to the center anytime soon, and with Labor's primary vote at 33% Labor is in no shape to win any election.

As for the coalition, the promise of competent economic policies combined with low taxes and a rational program to reduce GHG emissions seems to be a winner.
