TOPIC:

Well I've been pretty tuned out from all the predictable noise and ignored and deleted all missed calls on my home phone asking me to answer a few questions.

I definitely won't be voting for the encumbent but not sure I'll vote Labor either but they will be high on my preferences as I believe change is necessary.

I agree with Morrison, a hung parliament will be a disaster as it was previously under Dullard. 

What I don't like about Morrison is his tactic of playing the man rather than the ball using a football analogy.  His personal attacks on Albanese labelling him weak and incapable of running the country is in my opinion WEAK from Morrison. Show's he is desperate and overreaching.

Albo put the criticism of his declaration he will increase wages by 5% in real perspective. He said than means an increase to the minimum hourly rate of $1 an hour. 

This once again, this is a conundrum.  On one hand we have Scotty who has befriended Jabba the Hutt, a slug that shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near WA.  Then on the other hand we have Tony Elbows who couldn’t tell you what day of the week it is.
I think Scotty is the better of the two, but having the fat slug hanging off his arse is a sticking point.

I reckon yesterday might have been a turning point in the election, against Morrison. His rhetoric about Albanese increasing the minimum wage would have pissed a lot of people off, it was over the top the way him and Cash blasted it saying it would be a disaster for inflation and the economy.

Yep according to Morrison Albo is a “loose unit” for saying he wants to see wages increase with the rate of inflation. Wow, so he doesn’t mind his mates in the big end of town hitting the jackpot but the little Aussie battlers aren’t as entitled to enjoy the spoils?

Also quite staggering yesterday the Union for aged care workers who are pushing for a whopping 25% wage increase said that would take them to $28 per hour. Shit so that means aged care workers are on about $22.50 an hour. FMD that is a disgrace. Is that ScoMo’s idea of a hand up not a hand out? Is that what ScoMo means when he says Jobs Jobs Jobs!!!!??

It is time for a government with a bottom up approach and not this top down trickle down economics approach. I want to see more people off the streets and able to afford a roof over their head and less bill stress, not more Dodge Rams and Toyota Landcruisers on the road as a sign the economy is doing well.

Albonesia banging the drum about wage rises is just appealing to the masses as government doesn't set the minimum wage rate, the Fair Work Commission does and it's completely independent. It takes into account the cost of living plus inflationary pressures so Albo making this an election issue is just noise.

As for the election itself, neither side inspires me greatly although I think the talent on the Labor side is very sparse indeed.  They've got some people like Wong, Clare, Burke, Husic, Bowen and co who have been around for a long time and not really achieved anything.  

My main concern is that Frydenberg could lose in Kooyong to the independent Teal candidate who looks like getting preferences from Labor and the Greens which is a clear indication who she's aligned with and will support in a hung parliament.  I consider Frydenberg one of the better performers in parliament across both sides and would be a shame to loose him.  

Who are these people on the supposedly independent fair work commission? Who hires and fires them?

Sco Mo is cooked. Just cant win the seats to hang on.

Josh F is in big trouble and as BS states is future PM material, if they lose him its a massive loss.

In Curtin I reckon Chaney is in with a big chance, she has absolutley plastered the place with adds and its a real battle.

Albo is absolutely useless has been shown up so many times as a light weight with no grasp of facts but unfortunately hes going to sleep walk into the job and we will have a half wit as a PM with a bugs bunny voice.

I've been tuned out and disengaged from the entire campaign, unusual for me, just cannot get interested. 

This is shaping up as one of the most interesting elections .The polls and voting trends are very erratic.
Scomo is a lot better on the campaign trail.Albo is bumbling his way along.Scomo did appear to have a moment of madness,last night.
Some safe LNP  inner city seats, including Curtin.Are under siege by Teal independents.
The LNP vote is holding north of Brisbane.2019 result was of those 19 seats was ALP 1,,,Indipendants 2,,,LNP 16.
However One Nation is putting the LNP last on there how to vote cards.
UAP is preferncing the LNP is 34 of the 40 marginal seats.In Wa there putting all the sitting members last.
Now here's the trouble for Labor.The latest Ipsos poll has the UAP polling as high as 17% in the western suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne.
First and second generation Australian's have taken to Mr Palmers party .New Australian's from the Middle east ,Eastern Europe . Indian and Vietnam.Are supporting the UAP .

Hey mate.  Where have you been?  I've missed your sensible and well informed commentary on politics.  Good to see you back.
