you referenced the 10% beating down the other 90%.
The last time Labor were in government they actually achieved some good- they were voted out because of the leadership fiasco, and their poor handling of the carbon price/ets,.
this liberal/national government will be voted out because it has achieved nothing, messed up a lot and is led by Scott Morrison and Barnaby Joyce.
there is no good reason for any "swinging" voter to vote LNP at this election. NONE.
"Smile" me, why didn't Labor change their ways? They would grab the middle and win comfortably.
I like your passion regarding the greens, however they hold the whip for Labor that's why Labor get in the bed with them.
Next you'll be telling me that 50% of Aussies are to stupid to think forthemselves so they just follow Murdoch's lead.
Labor have been their own worst enemy, now they have another chance let's see how they go.
Let's see where the preferences go then shall we. Not that this election should require preferences if Labor play the game properly.

You would rather vote for Morrison, Joyce, Dutton, Robert, Tudge, Taylor, Frydenburg, Cash, Hunt, Colbeck?
one small mercy is that after this election Laming, Christensen and Kelly will no longer be part of the Lib/Nats- though how long were allowed to be members?
Has Kevin Andrews been given the boot yet?
That is just off the top of my head, and the ones that are clear cut failures.
Any other reasons to vote for this disaster of a government?
Morrison has already picked the fight with China, next it will be unions. renewables will be following.
Anything to get focus away from the absolute *smile* job he and the current government are doing.
Even some Liberals are waking up to what scum Scummo and his scumbag cultists are:

Liberal faithful sue Morrison's sleaze cultists
The battle for the soul of the LNP continues in NSW as Morrison’s sleaze cultists rend the party: Liberal members are preparing to go to court to block a decision that could help Prime Minister Scott Morrison choose candidates for the coming election in a brawl over the rights of party members...

An interesting interview by Peter FitzSimons with Ray Martin.
Fitz: Looking back on your own career, it occurs to me that as a journalist, you were a lot like the ABC’s Andrew Olle: no one would have had the first clue which way you voted. I don’t ask which way you vote now. But may I ask? Do you have strong political passions one way or another?
RM: Very strong. But back then nothing pleased me more than doing an interview with John Howard, Bob Hawke or Paul Keating, and have 50 per cent of the people say “It’s clear from that interview, you’re a card-carrying Commie, and the other half, you’re a blue ribbon Liberal.” But I do have strong political views.
Fitz: Go on?
RM: Gough’s “It’s Time” campaign was 50 years ago to the year. I think it’s time [again]. I have interviewed every Prime Minister since Bob Menzies and I think this is the most incompetent government we’ve had. It’s time.

"The Morrison government has overlooked Australian manufacturers to favour cheap overseas suppliers as it shops for millions of face masks, gowns, gloves and other personal protective equipment."
Australia Institute economist Jim Stanford said the failure to prioritise local manufacturers showed the government had not learned the lessons of 2020, when “we were caught flat-footed as the pandemic hit”.
“Without a deliberate effort to support Australian manufacturing, it’s almost certain that this production will go overseas to the lowest-cost producer,” Dr Stanford said.
"Prime Minister Scott Morrison used a speech at the National Press Club in October to declare “we make things in Australia” and launch a national manufacturing strategy."

Bound to be Chinese made . . . looking more like the Manchurian Candidate by the day (and, no, I don't mean they have any resemblance to Frank Sinatra!).
