Elections in South Australia and Tasmania
Wed. Mar. 17, 09:35pm EST
The South Australian and Tasmanian elections' campaigns are moving at a fevered pitch. D-day for each state's Labor governments is rapidly approaching with the each state heading to the polls on 20 March. There has been no end to rumours of dirty tricks campaigning and the amount of “sh!t sheets” being stuffed into voters' letterboxes. The Liberals have been ineffective in their targeting and have again failed to illustrate any tangible connection with voters that aren't from their base.

The trouble with Tories
Tue. Mar. 16, 09:10pm EST
The trouble with Tories is that more often than not what they say and what they do are mutually exclusive. In some case it seems some Tories have a higher propensity for exhibiting a complete disconnect with reality and what is actually happening “on the ground”. There have been some classic examples from the Mad Monk's Howard throw-backs. One of the best examples comes from the Bishop, deputy Opposition Leader, for her death stare during ABC's “Q and A” program.

A special kind of “lost in the wilderness”
Mon. Mar. 01, 06:40am EST
Tony Abbott, Julie Bishop and Eric Abetz, with Barnaby Joyce are proving to be the most successful formula for losing elections. The “cute” in your face attempt by these inept politicians (throw in Jamie Briggs and Alex Hawke for good measure) will soon wear off. It will be tiresome and will expose the reality that they have no policies or measures if they were to win government. The agenda by the Liberal surely cannot be to pursue a win.
