It's OK to be White and other dogwhistles - the Australian politics thread

Roy Morgan has Labor back in front 2PP 51-49

So im assuming Liberals are going to win in a landslide? Based on latest pole accuracy?

Ya was about to ask what Australian polling margins of error are now.

Roy Morgan post their margin table at the bottom of this

If the polls are accounting for the ‘ick’ factor of people not wanting to admit theyre voting for Dutton because theyre embarrassed then welcome Prime Minister Potato Voldemort… how Labor have shit the bed on this is astounding. There is absolutely no conviction in any of them.

I always find opinion polls ls odd. Where and when do they get there demographics, Church St Parramatta at 10 am on a work day?

Do the Libs shit on the Nats for getting even less of the primary by outflanking them on the right? No, because those votes are what wins them parliament. Maybe you should try putting your energy into Labor putting forward meaningful policy.

Aren’t the Libs and the Nats in a coalition? Where they take their geographically distinct voter bases and combine to form government or opposition?

Not really the same thing imo.

Will be interesting to see what comes ift this

Good timing, I wonder how long they have been sitting on this?

Well, he was Shadow Minister for finance at the time …

It goes back to the GFC so it’s safe to assume far too long.

Everything was declared at the time so it does appear to be a desperate move from a party seemingly more resigned to their fate each day.

No idea what kind of traction Murray Watt expects this to get.

Not sure if this belongs in Auspol or the Middle East thread:

He’s irreplaceable but in Casey Briggs I think the ABC has the best successor possible.
