question time will be a must watch tomorrow

I have two meetings in Clare so will miss the action. Could be on the road outa there by 1.30 though so will listen on radio if I can find it.

[Bully]

yeah, might tape it actually to see the "discussions"

My mail straight from the Manuka restaurant district tonight is that Shorten has more than likely sewn up the numbers and will challenge straight after the party and the PM have taken a belting in in the house in the next two days.

Poisoned chalice.

So he's likely to be going to his mother-in-law soon to form a Govt.

Jaeger bombs perhaps

[Leaping Lindner]

Watch Q&A tonight. Christopher Pyne is doing himself proud. Can't explain the Liberal State Goverment funding cuts to education and is having a little "tizzy".

[Sojourner]

So he's likely to be going to his mother-in-law soon to form a Govt.

Pretty sure that the only way he can lead the ALP is if his mother in law steps down from her position as its quite openly a clear conflict of interest.

You'll be hard pressed to find something in the Constitution to preclude this situation from happening.

Today's Newspoll has seen Labor roaring back and is 52-48 to the Coalition so you would think that puts at least a temporary end to leadership speculation. I wouldn't have thought the Rooty Hill thing was going to be as well received as it was.

Money has come for Shorten on betfair for both next PM and labor leader.

Maybe on the face of it, but look at these numbers:

Julia Gillard approval 32% (up two), disapproval 57% (down one).
Tony Abbott approval 36% (up three), disapproval 55% (steady).
Preferred Labor leader: Kevin Rudd 44%, Julia Gillard 25%, Bill Shorten 16%.
Voting intention with Kevin Rudd as leader: Labor 47%, Coalition 39%.

More people disapprove of Gillard - that must hurt.
Look at the voting intention with Rudd as leader.

At the end of the day still a good poll for Labor and found the result pretty surprising.

I watched Question Time on APAC last night.
It really is bad - I felt sorry for the Speaker, whoever she is, trying to control these idiots.
But, maybe, if she required them to answer the question instead of letting them ALL rave on with the same tripe, speaker after speaker, they might get somewhere.
It really is a rabble.

I think she kicked those members of the public out of the joint, supposedly one of them called the PM a mole.

Disgraceful behaviour.

Windsor and Oakeshot continue to display their abilities to be complete twats

I thought Bob Katter was going to blow a stent out of his nose at one stage
