Newspoll comparison between Beazley now and Latham as leader;Decisive & strong: B 57 L 69
Visonary: B 69 L 77
Understands Major Issues: B 70 L 73
Caring: B 82 L 78
Likeable: B 73 L 70
In touch: B 64 L 75
Trustworthy: B 64 L 61
So the voters find Beazley more caring and likeable than a sociopath known for his head kicking ways in parliament. The only other area that Beazley trumps our spiteful ex opposition leader is in trust.... and the public really put a high priority on trust in our politicians today, don't they! I'd hate to be a Labor supporter right now - if only that talent pool wasn't so shallow at the moment....

wish someone would post something dammit. How do you increase traffic to your blog?
You are doing the right things to increase traffic .. allowing others to see your profile and posting elsewhere etc gets you noticed. Also contribute to online media blogs like Gotcha or Piers Akerman at News.com, and post your site address :D Keep up the good work..

As for the ALP. I wouldn't be wishing Latham back or the ALP poorly .. they might very well be elected in the not too distant future, even though they have not earned it, nor offer a cohesive policy. The rhetoric stepping into an election by the media gets very strong, and the media will always fall on the side of ALP, either by saying that "It's time," or by saying "Liberals are overconfident and take voters for granted."
If someone says that ALP is corrupt, media say "Everyone is corrupt."
If ALP say something that works is broken, the media say "Everyone knows it's broken."
In NSW, no Lib government has been in power during a major train disaster occasioning multiple deaths. The Libs were in power for the completion of the opera house and the snowy river scheme. The former housing commission unit I live in was built during Lib years, and made commercial during Lib years. Libs ended the ALP's White Australia Policy. Conservatives involved our troops in WW2 in successful campaigns in Africa and the Middle East. ALP brought some of them home and lost some at sea and most at Singapore so that boys had to support Kokoda. ALP supported Communist China, Communist Vietnam, Pol Pot, Stalin, Indonesian invasion of Timor. ALP attempted to borrow billions from Iraq during the '70's indebting Australia to Baath extremists. Yet the media love them.
