As long as Gina isn't breaking the law good on her. She is obvously a smart woman who employs a lot of Australians. 

I think you're glossing over a few things here.

Gina may employ around 4000 people, but she is also doing her best to lower working conditions for everyone - she is a major backer of the LNP, the IPA, and has made statements wishing Australia's employment conditions were more like parts of Africa, where people are willing to work for $2 a day.

Not sure why she thinks everyone except her should work for peanuts, given her wealth has increased from the poverty line of $75,000,000 she inherited in the 90's to around $40,000,000,000 now.

Even Lang Hancock couldn't STAND Her and he's her father. Nev

I think you serfs need some re-training to understand just how much we owe our superb living conditions in Australia, to the Hancock Robber Baron Dynasty. Gina tells me this every day, on every inscribed message, on every monument built to the Hancock Empire. You're such an unappreciative lot of slackers. 😄

There is talk that after teh South Australian State elections next month, the Libs will not have a seat in the House. A massive Labor win, but with minor Parties and Independents sitting opposite. There will be no constructive Opposition.

[willedoo]

It must be scary for the Libs polling 14% primary vote a month out from the election. One Nation is polling 10% more than the Libs.

[willedoo]

It's hard to see a way back for the Libs in SA for the foreseeable future, particularly with the popularity of the current premier and his mob. Here in Queensland in 2015, the Labor opposition went into the election with just seven seats and won another thirty five to win government, but in that case the sitting premier Can-Do was as popular as a turd floating in a punchbowl. Different in SA, the Libs are trying to compete against a very popular incumbent.

As long as she is not doing anything illegal, good on her still.  Large companys always push the boundrys. Qantas selling seats on flights that don't exist, com bank, woolies, coles. Put some CEO's in jail will fix it. 

[facthunter]

SHE doesn't turn ME ON, tiger and I can't see how talking to her would be anything put a test of Endurance. Can you  imagine HER  as PM representing the COUNTRY?   Nev

[facthunter]

IF the AFP find she was doing something illegal she will scream to high dudgeon "THEY" are COMMING for Me. I think she has already done that, cheered on by Merde OK as usual. .Nev

The polling varies quite a bit from one pollster to another. The latest DemosAu poll has the primary vote at Labor 29%, One Nation 28%, Coalition 21%, Greens 12% and others 10%. They didn't give a preference figure but their seat preditions based on that poll were Labor 76–85. One Nation 43–54, Coalition 9-20, Greens 0-2 and all others 3-7. One change in the demographcs was women being most likely to vote One Nation at 29%, compared to Labor 27% and the Coalition 21%. 

 

The Guardian Essential poll had Labor on 30% primary, Coalition 26%, One Nation 22%, Greens 11%, independents and others 7% and 4% undecided. That poll also found nearly 60% of Australians would be open to voting for One Nation at the next federal election, including nearly half of those currently backing Labor. Around a quarter of voters said they would definitely vote One Nation and a third said they were open to it.

 

There's more than two years to go to the federal election, so all these figures are worrying to the major parties but they have a long period to try and get that support back.

Libs are the Most Precarious by far.. Lot of work to do there. I blame the NP for a lot of that. .  Nev

[willedoo]

They're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Move too far to the right and they lose votes to Labor and the Teals. Move too far to the left to try and be Labor-Lite and they lose votes to One Nation.

[onetrack]

The Liberals have virtually ceased to exist as a party in W.A. They could hold a cabinet meeting in a disabled toilet.

[old man emu]

Is that a toilet for persons with disabilities, or simply a busted loo?

A full Big drop one.  Complete with red Backs. and no newspaper to wipe your ass..  Nev

When Campbell Newman won his messiah-like election in 2012, there were a lot of jokes about the Labor opposition all fitting into a Kombi van to drive to parliament house. Three years later they went from seven seats back to government. The LNP made a huge mistake with Newman. John-Paul Langbroek would have easily won the election for the LNP, but the party bosses thought Newman would increase the vote even more. They ended up a three year flash in the pan whereas with Langbroek they probably would have served multiple terms. The messiah election tactic worked with Bob Hawke, but Newman was a total disaster.
