Julia Gillard announces September 14 Election Date
The Prime Minister (that’s Julia Gillard), has used a speech at the National Press Club this afternoon to issue a SHOCK ANNOUNCEMENT that the Federal Election will be held on Saturday September 14.
The decision to “out” the election date today is at odds with the usual time-past honour of fluffing about with months of speculation about the timing until the very last moment.
During her speech, the Prime Minister reflected on flat house prices, lower superannuation returns, a high savings rate, increasing commuting times and the contrast with the pre-GFC era of constantly rising consumption.
She also reflected on how governments are “doing it tough” because revenue keeps missing forecasts, and how business may simply have to get used to a high dollar that refuses to succumb to the gravity exerted by declining terms of trade and an inevitable decline in mining investment.
And like Stephen Conroy’s now defunct “Internet Filtering” scheme, the election date effectively relegates the Government’s controversial “Internet Data Retention Plan” to the garbage can, given that Parliament’s last sitting day will be on 27 June.
The data retention plan, roundly condemned by civil libertarians, would have forced all Australian telcos and internet service providers to store the online data of all Australians for up to two years.
You can read the PM’s full speech here.
Tony Abbott is due to present his alternative vision for Australia at the National Press Club tomorrow, a speech that someone is now no doubt frantically re-writing…

After three years of calling for a new election on an almost daily basis, Joe Hockey says the Sept 14 date is “too early..”
LOL…
I don’t believe it for a minute. All it will do is re-ignite their leadershit obsession
And let’s see if theirabc can outdo themselves
http://australiansforhonestpolitics.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/whats-happened-to-our-abc/
Will the Gillard PMship last until 14 September ?
The cynic would think this is her way of locking the caucus in behind her (even if some are still carrying knives) and perhaps a desperate hope by her spin merchants that by doing this she can get the voters focused on the Future rather than her rather woeful political Past.
But the tradeoff is she’s kissed all flexibility on when to call an election “goodbye”
Oh noes… Tony Abbott responds with ‘this election will be about trust, who can you trust…”
etc etc..
Haven’t we heard all this before…?
Oh dear Tony walks off from press conference refusing to take any questions…
“Refusing to take any questions”.
That’s Abbott right there. A thug and a coward, an empty head, not a brain in his arse or an idea in his head. Just a mouth full of catchphrases that mean nothing. A bullshit artist, a serial liar and a right fucking cunt.
And your point is ?
LOL
And your point is ?
That you appear likely to vote for “A bullshit artist, a serial liar and a right fucking cunt.” 🙂
Just thinking about the shape of the first Abbott ministry………………
Cory Bernardio would make an excellent Attorney General
🙂
Bernardi I meant
“…That you appear likely to vote for “A bullshit artist, a serial liar and a right fucking cunt.”…”
But that means we both have the same choice.
Might as well be voting for BP petrol over Caltex petrol
Announcing a date-
*Allows Gillard to press Abbott for policy detail
*Locks caucus in behind her
*Will she her say things like – ‘Orstrayians wanna tork about tha few-cha..Mr Airbut wantsta tork about tha paarst’
I mean…*Will hear her say things like – ‘Orstrayians wanna tork about tha few-cha..Mr Airbut wantsta tork about tha paarst’
But that means we both have the same choice.
except that one ‘lie’ to a politician (wilkie) hardly makes her a ‘serial liar’
“…..one ‘lie’……..”
LOL
I do recall you saying once that numbers were not your forte.
Clearly you cant count past 1
Joe Hockey says the Sept 14 date is “too early..”
Joolya`s going to election about 2-months/8-weeks earlier than she must, her mob must have worked out noise-polls are bullshit too, its the information thats important. Sloppy Joe is quite funny aint he, they`ve been screaming for a `re-count` since 2010.
“One lie”
The most significant breach of trust*, written word to a fellow MP I can recall. A written agreement containing unconditional commitments – without which Gillard would never have been able to move into the Lodge.
…and time forbids me listing the various other examples of her dishonesty.
*(and don’t bother with Pauline Hanson… Abbott didn’t get to become PM on the basis of his actions against her)
‘…and time forbids me listing the various other examples of her dishonesty.’
Most appalling of all, sucking up to the watermelons and bringing in that tax on carbon dioxide.
She lies like a pig in mud.
Tony Abbott is due to present his alternative vision for Australia at the National Press Club tomorrow, a speech that someone is now no doubt frantically re-writing…
I think someoneS will be madly RESEARCHING let alone re-writing … nowt’s writ … LOL!
Bernardi would be good as Attorney General, leaving Brandis with Arts.
“She lies like a pig in mud.”
Yes……..very happily indeed
By the way the final budget deficit for 2013 was scheduled for release as it is each year at the end of September.
So conveniently we wont know how large the fiscal disaster is until post election
“Bernardi would be good as Attorney General”
Eg
I was only joking ya know
“_Most appalling of all, sucking up to the watermelons_”
=
You Tea Guzzlers should be happy gordo, Joolya`s giving you that re-count your mob have been braying for since 2010.
Did Joolya`s question and answer part at NPC get transcripted.?
“…Did Joolya`s question and answer part at NPC get transcripted.?…”
Its release has been held up temporarily in case some of it needs to be altered……I mean redacted……Um…….edited….
……you know how traffic noise is these days.
Did the candidate for
global warming is crap
really flee the embedded-media and not take questions after sep-14 was announced.?
Its amusing that Julia told the Greens and the Indies of her intentions before most her Cabinet knew.
The ALP really is her personal “playthingie”
Joolya is a closet watermelon.
her personal “playthingie”
That`s it precisely!
lt`s how Credlin describes Mr-Rabbit.
After yesterday`s unhinging, you still have not shown us those nt, wa, and sa seats Mr-Rabbit will gain/lose outside those l told you about, feel free to recruit gordo to help you jock-shock.
“………you still have not shown us those nt, wa, and sa seats Mr-Rabbit will gain/lose outside those l told you about………..”
I didn’t say I would comment on your pretty pointless hypothetical which was not even backed up by the vaguest of polling.
Please point to where I said I would.
I was far too busy laughing at your “it’s in the Vibe rant” or should I call it your “wishlist” because that’s all you held up as your evidence.
Why not wet your finger…………. stick it in the air ………….see which way the wind is blowing tonight………… and have another go.
I’m up for a laugh
Todays Lesson, Sturt (SA)
Mr-Poodle barely scraped his arse over the Sturt carpet last time, the voter demographics have changed and are continuing to change. Not only will Mr-Poodle get bounced, so will Libz generally, and Sturt will go federally to another party or independent. Come Sep-14 Australians will have seen the last mincing at the dispatch-box from him. As older residents of Sturt have `moved-on`, they have been replaced by `younger` and working-class residents.
YOUR TURN JOCK SHOCK 🙂 🙂 🙂
and time forbids me listing the various other examples of her dishonesty
we await it expectantly though 😉
I note that there is much laughter about my countin’, but no example of a higher number 😯
Yes. Hanson I would think holds tabot in far more contempt than Wilkie does Gillard. Pokie reform is still going through, and hanson still has those memories from behind the bars 😉
“Hanson I would think holds tabot in far more contempt than Wilkie does Gillard. ”
When I spoke to Andrew I was under no illusion about how he felt about Gillard’s dishonesty.
http://uk.reuters.com/
The PM’s announcement got a look in, on Reuters UK … but not a whisper about the fires and floods over the last weeks … (someone may happily challenge that?) …
My point … we have a Queen of Australia and The Firm is busily making money and “image” – you know the soldier in Afghanistan and the son in the Falklands – WTF do we have a royal interference in politics for? Because we don’t earn ’em any graft …
Either Australia is an independent country or we just fart around as a babe of the Empire fending for itself in the colonies (that we do!) or we are a nation and fuck ’em all!
Weak willed Monarchists with no balls and a wish to bend the knee can piss off to the Motherland for all I care … give me an Aussie running the show … not – well – no-one …
Australia is a bit like the lost battalion … WHO?
When I spoke to Andrew I was under no illusion about how he felt about Gillard’s dishonesty.
First name! Whooooo! Did you record the interview?
When I spoke to Andrew I was under no illusion about how he felt about Gillard’s dishonesty.
And I would say it was still higher than hansons regard for tabot 😉
I’ve met Andrew a few times TB. He’s a very decent man with principles intact and a keen sense of social justice.
“And I would say it was still higher than hansons regard for tabot”
I’m not so sure.
But isn’t Wilkie angry at the way he was treated by both the Liberal AND ALP – being a serf I’ve never met him … 😉
I have always rtespected him for his “stand” against Howard’s Private School Bullys – but he bothers me because of his idealism … bit like Xylophone … I have reservations about pollies driven by personal issues rather than community issues … nah “majority issues” maybe … I admire altruists but they aren’t “mainstream” – like Gillard and Howard (Howard;s battlers FFS!)
under no illusion about how he felt about Gillard’s dishonesty.

lt came through like that at my end too reb.
TB, the thing is, that in Tasmania with high unemployment and societal problems, the pokies are regarded as a HUGE problem.
These are significant State-specific issues for Tasmania, which is why Wilkie is popular at a local level.
“being a serf I’ve never met him … ”
Andrew owned a small shop selling Turkish rugs in North Hobart… Anyone could stroll in and have a chat…
I admire altruists but they aren’t “mainstream” – like Gillard and Howard (Howard;s battlers FFS!)
.
l hear where you`re coming from TB and pretty much agree, but what is always neglected in so-called political discussions, is that politic`s is a `fringe` sport, a bit like lacross or curling. Most of the public just aren`t interested in it 24/7 if at all. TV ratings across AU, uk, usa and others have shown for years that viewers hit the remote button for another channel when politicians are put on.
Assange to run for the senate and his mom says he’ll be “awesome”.
‘…viewers hit the remote button for another channel when politicians are put on.’
Except in the case of Jon Stewart News.
colbert-report and daily-show are actually comedy shows gordo, and the news orgs really don`t like it that comedians are actually out-stripping the newsroom in ratings and influence
(and guest desirability)
These are significant State-specific issues for Tasmania …
I noticed that Tassie is special when I visited 500,000 residents is 30% omy CITY …
… problem is not pokies* but PEOPLE … what a great answer to the asylum seekers FFS! Forrest Gump is on TV tonight … simple is as simple does … 🙄
Pretty limited where I went … prhaps Wilkie should be a State pollie not a Federal pollie?
Andrew owned a small shop selling Turkish rugs in North Hobart … I rest my case!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yeah, 7:30 I know that most of us here are part of the 20% (occasional 80%ers post … the ones we have fun with 😉 ) …

Assange to run for the senate and his mom says he’ll be “awesome”.
So we know whwre Julian gets his crap from then … hows he gets out of the Old Dart will be interesting … is it true that you live in a closet, egg?

Except in the case of Jon Stewart News. Yep – closet …

“YOUR TURN JOCK SHOCK ”
Sorry I cannot even describe how inadequate I feel in the comedy stakes when confronted by your posts.
Anyway governments good and bad eventually get shafted in a democracy. The frightening non issue so far seems to be this never ending attack on freedoms since this government came to power
1. Conroy and his Internet filter
2. The FinkiwillFuckyou enquiry into press freedoms
3. Roxons toxic “don’t hurt me” laws
4. Internet surfing records to be kept for possible government examination for 2 years
After over 110 years of successful democracy who the fuck do these ALP grubs think they are to interfere ?
I’m currently in Hobart, business conditions are soft – decline is predicted… but the people I’ve spoken to are supportive of Wilkie.
‘business conditions are soft – decline is predicted…’
In the central west of NSW… business remains subdued.
I hasten to add that we are better off than Spain.
‘The Spanish authorities and the Commission are betting that Spain’s policy of “internal devaluation” and wage cuts within EMU will slash unit labour costs enough to claw back competitiveness, but this is a risky strategy that may overlook the lasting damage to the productive economy – a concept known as “hysteresis”.

“YOUR TURN JOCK SHOCK ”
So you (and gordo) reckon Mr-Poodle will be returned.?
(is gordo helping you.?)
My money is on a tabot victory…. the marginals say its all wrapped up.
the marginals say its all wrapped up.
Did you get that from their entrails?
‘A SURVEY of 54 key marginal electorates shows Labor stands to lose as many as 18 seats at the federal election to be held later this year.
‘The poll of 3350 people across electorates with a margin of 6% or less was conducted by JWS Research and shows a two-party-preferred swing against the government of 4.8%.
‘A uniform swing of this magnitude would deliver the Coalition 91 seats and a thumping election victory, while reducing Labor’s numbers on the floor of the House of Representatives to 54.’
Adam Carroll
Thanks gordo, Mr-Rabbit 91 seats.
Now what did the 2010 surveys and/or polls say Mr-Rabbit would get to in the 2010 election.?
Kevin Bonham has ripped that JWS poll to shreds grodo
They didn’t even use entrails in that 😉
There are three problem areas so far as the JWS poll is concerned: (i) non-neutral commissioning (ii) apparent inconsistency with the national 2PP, unresolved by benchmarking (iii) misleading and confusing presentation of projections. But all that taken into account it seems to still say some useful things

Who could ignore the glasses!!
this is why l always say the noise-polls are bullshit folks,
2010 poll
the results point to 79 seats for Labor and 68 for the Coalition with three independents
http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollbludger/2010/08/17/nielsen-marginals-mega-poll/
teh-poll = Lib 79, Lab 68, lnd 3
Actual result = Lib 73, Lab 72, Ind 5
ERRORs = Lib 6, Lab 4, lnd 2
teh-poll claimed 11 seats between Lib and Lab (actual 1)
and `misplaced` nearly half (40%) of the lnd`s
l reckon gordo`s data above @ January 31, 2013 7:09 am
is incomplete or out of context and is way over-blown,
but because the Teabags want to use it, then that`s fine
with me.
for the record, teh polls reckon Mr-Rabbit will get 91 seats in the 2013 election
we can now watch from today, until sep-14 this 91 number plummet.
.
lt is bullshit and won`t hold. l also don`t give a shit where the numbers go to, Lab, lnd, Green. Let us just keep track of Mr-Rabbits number and see how much bullshit Lobbying by the embedded media and if the punters fall for it. l reckon the punters won`t.
The punters have Tabot to win, with Joolya a length further back.
l found evidence gordo, yomm and jaws are really quite sane!

Looks like Gillard’s about to hit the first pothole of her campaign year.
From the Oz today…..
“FAIR Work Australia’s legal battle against former Labor MP Craig Thomson over alleged misuse of union funds has yielded its first CCTV evidence, with the Westin hotel chain ready to release screen shots taken from security cameras in one of its hotels.
A Federal Court registrar yesterday allowed FWA’s lawyers to inspect the footage, taken from the chain’s back-up system, and also granted them access to a partially redacted document provided by a company director linked to an escort agency.
FWA’s legal case also expanded into the heart of the NSW Labor Party, with details emerging of a subpoena for a document related to Mr Thomson’s 2007 bid for the NSW seat of Dobell and payments to the NSW ALP from the Health Services Union, which Mr Thomson then led.
FWA has alleged Mr Thomson misused union funds to kick-start his campaign for the central coast seat, spending thousands of dollars on staff, advertising and office equipment. The subpoena seeks records relating to Mr Thomson’s application for preselection and records about the employment of Criselee Stevens by the ALP in Dobell between 2005 and 2007. It seeks information about two payments totalling $3500 from the ALP to the Dobell branch of the ALP in 2006.
It also seeks information about a $12,500 invoice to the NSW ALP branch for advertising.
In a hearing in Melbourne yesterday, Federal Court registrar David Pringle …….The Westin hotel chain told the court it changed its computer system in 2006, complicating its search for records. “But they have managed to find some documents captured as screen shots off back-up tapes,” Mr Pringle said……………..
FWA has alleged Mr Thomson stayed at a Westin hotel in Melbourne, paid for with union money, while on annual leave in 2005.
Mr Pringle also gave permission for FWA’s lawyers to inspect the shots, as well as a partially redacted document provided by Graeme George Edwards, director of International Immobiliare, which ran the Boardroom escort agency.
It is alleged Mr Thomson used a union credit card to purchase escort services from The Boardroom for $770 in 2005.
The Federal Court heard that Gary Mark Scott, who was a director of Confidential Model Escorts, which Mr Thomson allegedly used while visiting Melbourne in 2006, has provided a statement to Victoria Police.
Mr Thomson’s lawyer, Chris McArdle, said yesterday he believed the statement was unlikely to contain any evidence of wrongdoing.
“I think his statement is he doesn’t know,” Mr McArdle said.
“Mr Thomson has never met him, has never seen him, never done business with him and never provided a service to him…………..”
My money is on a tabot victory …
You told us a couple of weeks a go that you had no money, egg … Centrelink handouts etc etc …
The money quote
“I think his statement is he doesn’t know,” Mr McArdle said.
Pretty much sums up the whole article, another story about nothing, with nothing to offer except another opportunity to go through the accusations again
It’s like a never ending episode of Seinfield, without the comedic timing

“………another story about nothing, with nothing to offer except another opportunity to go through the accusations again”
Well you could possibly say that………………………That’s if you also assume that the Westin Hotel has gone to the trouble of ferreting out 7 year old screens-shots of empty hotel corridors.
Seems pretty unlikely
Meanwhile Roxon is apparently busy redrafting her “Hurt Feelings Laws”
But will she reverse the Onus of Proof back to the English Law concept .
Currently (as far as I know) under Australian Laws only the ATO places the Onus of Proof upon the accused.
And that’s for understandable practical reasons
<i.That’s if you also assume that the Westin Hotel has gone to the trouble of ferreting out 7 year old screens-shots of empty hotel corridors.

Not only his Chief Of Staff losing all faith in her charge and resorting to #egg-stunt, and not only fleeing the media yesterday and not taking questions after Joolya`s sep-14 announcement. Today we have Mr-Rabbit facing the national press club where we know he won`t let us down and give us the goof-ups and stunts we enjoy!

I think the meeja missed that part of the speech
Her political nous may save her yet, against all odds.
The PMs greatest asset is Tabot’s unpopularity with the electorate, so all she has to do is run him hard and hope he puts his foot in mouth a dozen times.
Its a presidential style election when you don’t have a Republic yet.

‘JULIA Gillard is adamant that the seven months leading to the September 14 election will not be Australia’s longest election campaign. The Prime Minister may be adamant, but she’s wrong.
‘What Gillard has done is formalise an informal election campaign in an attempt to maximise the advantage of office, to draw on the authority of being a working prime minister and to apply pressure on Tony Abbott and the opposition to announce and cost policies well before the official election campaign starts on August 12.’
