2019 Federal Election Discussion

[I love to travel]

Anyone watching the leaders debate tonight?

 

[cove]

Yes we are watching despite having voted already. Three in our family are yet to vote.

 

[get me outta here]

Just tuned in, sounds like more of the same so far. I hope the interviewers are going to keep them on track better than this raving.

Billy has dropped a page of his notes on the floor.....oops....hope he knows his stuff.

Blah blah blah blah

Could not agree more. Maybe they should invite Clive and Pauline to the Sky one that will liven it up

Pauline who? She has gone really quiet.
Fat Clive is everywhere in advertising and $70 million spend is pretty big.

 

[get me outta here]

Good point that we the taxpayer indirectly paid for that C Palmer advertising bill by bailing out his workers.

More importantly, bring back the worm.

That guy on the right wants quite a bit more out of our pockets.

Not sure about that ...

2019 Federal Election Discussion

If the postal vote paperwork doesn't arrive in time, you are still able to vote in person at an early voting centre. Assuming you haven't left by then, of course. The ‘main’ person involved will of course be travelling in Melbourne that week and won’t get to a booth although maybe they will be...

We have quite a few retired folks who are affected by the franking credit rule changes.

I think Morrison won by a whisker.

Billy has no idea about electric cars tonight even though he was questioned about them last week. He is a bit slow on studying the detail.

 

[serfty]

I think Morrison won by a whisker.

Morrison and Shorten face off in Perth in first leaders' debate

The first debate of the election in Perth has wrapped up, as the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader took well-rehearsed campaign attacks to the west.

Andrew Probyn says the coalition policies are threadbare.
Morrison’s good on the attack. Shorten is exposed because he is outlining his policies.

 

[Isochronous]

Latham Diaries were very insightful about Shorten - he saw political philosophy as a means to get elected rather than believing in anything in particular.

And watching 7:30 for the last few weeks, she has done nothing but highlight LNP shortcomings but never even mentioned some of Bill's bloopers such as new superannuation taxes, climate change policy costs, etc

So would take what she says with a grain of salt
