That egging still makes me laugh.
Almost rivals little Johnny Howard's cricket bowling "effort"
And bill shortens stand up jogging routine.
I hope ICAC jails shorten for that stunt.
Cost us billions
Same in Kooyong.
Got a letter from little Johnnie and had a couple of robocalls from Joshie.
I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognise so I got voice to text.
“ hi this is Josh Brightenberg …”
I answered it because it was the landline, don't answer calls I don't know on the mobile.
Just curious, are there any women of voting age in your household and have they received a letter from little Johnnie?
DS
My wife. The letter came addressed to me but when I opened it up it said “ Dear Mr and Mrs”. Very patriarchal of cause but that’s little Johnnie for ya!
We got a flyer saying that Labor was playing dead because Monique Ryan will support them, so a vote for her is a vote for Labor. Also an independent “bingo” card … voting independent is playing bingo because you don’t know what you will get .
Joshie is panicking and to be honest a letter from Little Johnnie and these flyers would make me less likely to vote for him if I was in any doubt already.
It's a shame that the little kid blocked Morrison's fall.
I can think of nothing better than Morrison face planting himself and being helped up with grass and dirt in his eyes, ears & nostrils.
Morrison is the first prime minister since 1969 to not address the National Press Club in the final week of an election.

Dislike of Morrison remains the dominant factor in this campaign
On one issue Liberal and Labor strategists are agreed: dislike of Morrison remains the dominant factor in the campaign.
This is a really interesting read. 72% probability of a Labor Majority. 4% probability of a Liberal majority. It explains the tightening of the polls in recent days.
Labor at $1.51 to form government with SportsBet. If it goes up any further, I’m gonna have a massive crack.
$2.00 as i type this. must have dropped overnight. I’m taking that.
For the life of me I can’t understand how the Liberals believe dragging out the war criminal out will help Frydenberg. He’s the very man who turned the liberals from centre right to extreme right. They just don’t get it.
****. That drops the arbitraged free kick at goal to just a $1.30 now by my reckoning.
Howard is less disliked than Morrision, heck Abbott is probably less disliked than Morrison.
even the LIbs know it, they are using the *smile* job Morrison has done to try to make the actual job they have done in government ok.
their line about not liking Morrison but vote still vote for the government might work to steal back some votes.
I'm sick of this bullsh1t narrative that we "just don't like Scott". While that's true, the public also hates the corruption and incompetence of the rest of the government too. The media is actively trying to tell Australians what they want and need and blatantly attempting to influence the vote in one direction. As a consequence, the media is on the nose with the public as well.

This is good:
Insiders is a disgrace
Nothing sums up the failure of Australia's media more than the imbalance of panellists on Insiders. Billed as Australia's leading political program, Insiders is a platform for right-wing propagandists, centre-right voices, and occasionally an objective journalist whose contribution can be...

I used to never miss Insiders when Barrie Cassidy was host. I can't remember the last time I watched the Speers version. (There is a woman on Twitter, @iMusing who does a thread every Sunday 'Watching Insiders so you don't have to'. Thorough and amusing summary.)
Yep the Libs are using the general hatred of Morrison to hide the general incompetence/nastiness/corruption of their government.
i am sure some will fall for it, hopefully not too many.
Howard was the start of the liberal party’s problems as you say. He started their move to the right, their complete loss of empathy and the politics of fear.
They absolutely don’t understand where they are at and why people are moving away from them.
I would say however that neither does the ALP abut to a lesser extent
