Belly,

Maybe the slide in voting is not (or certainly not just) from welded-on workers and tradies to the Greens, but in two ways: a move of pseudo-left Liberals voting for the Greens (in the inner cities and electorates like Toorak), and many workers voting for One Nation (e.g. in the Hunter).

I'd be interested if people like (ex-Senator) John Black have done any analysis of that sort of trend - that the Greens are more often more likely to be ex-LNP than Labour, and One Nation supporters are more likely to be ex-Labour than ex-LNP.

Paul,

Lying again I see. You can't believe that I am a member of the Aus chapter of the NRA for 2 main reasons:

1-I have never owned a gun and won't have one in my house,
2-I have never posted anything on OLO that does not support gun control.

So either you are delusional or a liar.

Shadow Minister,

Suffering from comprehension failure again Shadow. Read the post, I was not referring to you as being a member of the gun toting brigade, but rather Is Mise (Issy). "John Edwards, now that name must ring a bell with you Issy....."

In fact I am well aware of your anti gun stance here on the forum.
English as a third language must be difficult for you (Shadow Minister). I totally understand.

Loudmouth you have me worried, Black, know the man [do you know more about me than I think]
Will not go in to it but let me explain myself
Labor is travelling in deep tracks it finds hard to get out of
Some, near green, want so much we can never achieve, and in the end do not want to
Look at our glorious years Post Whitlam,
Hawke Keating brought about great change, and too got union support that, for a time, cost workers but built our economy
Rudd, not his exite but his entry, was a great achievement
My party wants to win two maybe three terms in office, it knows we need reform, in welfare health workplace reform, transport so very much
But, yes but within our ranks, green like, some seem intent on having policy that keeps us out of office
The fact is we will get back in office and will bring about change but we need to overcome those who want us to be something voters will never except
And we must just simply must draw A line between us and the left of political reality greens

ok let's leave the subject, oh wait SHY!now there is a woman to avoid, even more than the Communist ex green in NSW
The woman can not help but remind everyone how much and why, they dislike her

Not so Belly,

SHY often highlights the very issues the government and their cohorts in big business like to hide from.

“Does the government really think that it is appropriate to fast-track Chinese gambling billionaires through our border protection processes so that they can come to Australia and shoot our wildlife?” SHY

“No one in their right mind would say this is appropriate.”
