Coalition back in the race with Morrison at the helm
Latest Newspoll shows Morrison in commanding humiliating loss
The decision to dump Malcolm Turnbull and install Scott Morrison as PM has paid dividends for the government with the latest Newspoll showing the Government trailing Labor 47 to 53 on the election-deciding two party preferred basis.
Prior to Turnbull’s demise, the Government was sitting at 49 to 51.
Mr Morrison and his LNP colleagues will be further buoyed by the Fairfax-Ipsos poll, also released last night, which shows the Government trailing Labor by a mere 10 points on the 2PP.
The Fairfax-Ipsos survey also found that that 74 per cent of voters oppose laws that allow religious schools to dismiss students and teachers based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or relationship status.
Poll Gloom for Bill Shorten
The decision by the Liberals to dump Turnbull from the prime ministership 7 weeks ago and install the former treasurer resulted in an immediate dive in the polls – kind of like a “reverse honeymoon”.
The prime minister now faces a significant test on Saturday, where the Liberals will attempt to hold Malcolm Turnbull’s Sydney seat of Wentworth, however several polls suggest there will be a strong protest vote against the government.
“God talks to me at 4.30am”
Fortunately, the PM claims to have a direct line to the almighty, and is convinced that the Government will prevail this weekend and at the Federal Election next year.
Meanwhile in the real world, today’s Liberal party “comeback” as reflected in the polls would deliver the ALP an electoral victory equal to the largest win in the past 35 years.

Is there evidence to the contrary?
“Australian Labor will move to remove exemptions allowing LGBT teachers and staff at religious schools to be sacked.”
Would it be fair to say that Philip Ruddock’s religious freedom review isn’t quite going to plan.

Was ever going to happen … Ruddock The Walking Dead?
BTW Sky(can’t bring myself to call it news) seem to be a bit behind again

That’s a disturbing thought, TR …
Based up past action tho’ I doubt it very much … although he could be born again …
“”It looks like the review into religious freedom in Australia, offered up to parliamentary conservatives as some kind of olive branch in the wake of the successful same sex marriage plebiscite last year, has backfired spectacularly.””

SloMo on the Wentworth by-election:
“With the Liberal party you know what you’re going to get”.
Well yeah….
Wentworth will remain zombie for same reasons l said on previous post.

That’s true, there they were thinking about doing something or other with the outrageous and discriminatory laws of Gillard, and now they won’t get to!
I can’t really remember, but were we particularly outraged when the ALP passed these laws?
but were we particularly outraged when the ALP passed these laws?
I don’t recall the details, but I do know that, during Gillards time, ‘negotiation’ was the theme, and many amendments were made to get the best part of better laws through
Yes, no doubt Oakshot, Windsor etc would have been absolutely insistent about ensuring this leglislative discrimination
or it’s called ‘baby steps
https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/national/anti-discrimination-bill-puts-aussies-at-threat/news-story/19c9d2311c56843cc5f3a47775840d4e?sv=ad887a1e88695a2bab8029e23bc00ddc
In recent years, the Government has amended 84 laws which discriminate against the homosexual community.
In other words, it wasn’t really Gillard who wrote the laws for this, they already existed. They removed many, and, now have said they will remove more.
It’s not perfect, but far better than the alternative
No worries, but at least we know this wasn’t a specific change required by the Abbott, Andrews, Abetz nutcases (as I thought)
Nor a proposal pushed by some schools, as others suggested
TomR
I looked at your tweet. People are saying it was the ALP who brought in the laws they are now talking about removing. This from the first tweet in response to Sky News
No one despised gay people more than Gillard and the Labor party.Not only did Gillard and Labor block SSM but they introduced laws to kick gay children out of Catholic schools.
Nor a proposal pushed by some schools, as others suggested
How do we know who is pushing it?
Turnbull called for the report … it’ll slip into his LNP bad boy report (always a scapegoat)
… how come we are even talking about this still?
Yep, and I’ve specifically blamed the Liberal Party – but all they were doing was building on the work already done by Gillard, Shorten etc.
Even though Gillard and Shorten etal improved the framework already there, and now want to go further. And the libs only want to go backwards (as always)
(How do we know who is pushing it?….… how come we are even talking about this still?
tl;dr.)
Awkward ivi
Ok M I guess I should have said why is ToM still trying to blame the ALP for a report that the LNP called for ?
And let’s not keep kidding ourselves that it was to banish the forever the possibility of LGBTI kids and teachers being harassed in religious environments of “learning” and indoctrination
Still discussing it TB, because your first reaction is to blame “catliks”. And this is pointing out why you shouldn’t simply allow that prejudice to take over your judgement
Why not … most of the LNP are fkn catliks

Deny all they will but the truth IS out there!
The Yanks even have a new TV show about god …

god has an iPhone now … what fkn rot!

ToM, think the public is not being manipulated …Mr I’m not religious BUT … ToM, I know you are a smart cookie … but the subtle religious influencing seeps into everyday life like the common cold – and people are ambivalent to its effect – its always been there just put up with it and it will go away eventually – but it doesn’t … get rid of it … it really is harmful – the Catholic Church has always been sinister … its a fkn MEN”S CLUB FFS!
How would you feel if half the Parliament were Muslims …?
Well as a secular/agnostic that’s how I see our present House of “representatives” …
On reportland they peddled echo chamber stuff full of zombie frighteners that teabaglite will snag wentworth. Reality is wentworth supported rabbitGovtOne, rabbitGovt2 with local weak dud hood ornament, while rabbitGovt3 also includes proven weak dud hood ornament. So l don`t expect a change to 17%.
TB, the point is that your assumption was wrong. Gillard holds more responsibility for these laws than the “catliks” – but that just wasn’t on your radar.
Your prejudice got in the was of your eagerness to jump to the (wrong) conclusion
Yomm read ivi’s linls
There are none so blind that cannot see …
ToM also look at my links …
Christ, you’ll be fighting off the incursion after they’ve overrun you’re position … oh! wait! too late!
What, am I discussing this with a link?
Prejudice getting in the waY of ” eagerness to jump to the wrong conclusion ”
Yet you can`t comprehend the biggest offenders of this are; those that snort magical skyfairy dust! And the catlicks are the oldest, longest and largest dealers of magical skyfairy dust. Take a look at stooten, abetz, kevin07, rabbit, slomo, andrews and others; all hooked on their flavor of magical skyfairy dust; and had to be dragged kicking and sreaming by the public to get gay marriage passed.
The link highlights that it was amendments pushed by the libs that is responsible for the current laws
The links provide facts yomm
I tend to think that a blog is more engaging when people express themselves, not just exchange links.
not just exchange links.
I think you meant to say facts 😉
Gillard holds more responsibility for these laws than the “catliks”
The Facts dispute that.
The amendments were put in by the libs.
Gillard had them out altogether.
In other words, Gillard had removed the raft of pre-existing laws completely, and these smaller ones only went back in because the libs pushed it.
Just to get some
linksfacts back into the ‘discussion’I see, how did the Libs pass the laws, when they didn’t have a majority? Did they get the support of Oakshott, Windsor etc?
I see, so, by that reckoning, the libs just prevented a racist motion from being passed by their government.
Yo understand how Government works don’t you?
Did you read the links?
Did the ALP vote for or against the amendments?
They voted for a package that was far better than what existed. Of course, they could have kept the old laws as they were, but they were even worst.
If you read the links, you might learn something (sorry, didn’t mean to swear)
Well I guess you are right ToM … God just Friended Me …
Hallelujah!
+++++++++++++++++++++++
And now for something completely different!
And I just became the owner of one of these beauties …
360degree sound
Do you have to run around the bloody things for the best effect? 😉
Did you ever study geometry or physics, TR … thought not! 😉
Did you ever study
That would’ve sufficed 🙂
Actually I heard/saw one in the local indigenous art shop very briefly … and I rarely want things these days (and my pergola has LED lighting that can be activated by sound anyway) …
Mine’s on charge currently (ohoh) but I accidently hit the start button unpacking it and the light come on with the BT signal and fades into shades of blue … get it? Bluetooth! luv it!
That would’ve sufficed 🙂
LOL! I’m excited! 🙂
So they voted for the current law. Thanks for clarifying that.
Another way of looking at it yomm (the accurate way, now the Facts are revealed (thanks Mivi) is that they vastly improved on the existing laws, but that the libs prevented them from going all the way. With a lot of pressure from …… katlicks etal
LOL! I’m excited!</i.
now I'm worried 😯 🙂
Although, I once had a bluetooth, but the dentist fixed it fer me (just in time too apparently)
Wasn’t Bluetooth a viking leader (actually I vaguely remember BT was named after him)
Did CSIRO invent BT or WiFi? – WiFi
Jaap Haartson who worked for Erickson invented BT … yahhh … 🙂
The “It’s OK to be white” debacle would be funny if it did not have such a dark side* to it …
