Kevin Rudd’s preferred PM rating in this morning’s Nielsen poll (the first since Tony Abbott won the Liberal Leadership) was down 9 points to 58 per cent. Expect the Government to ramp up the attacks on the top three Coalition finance guys, Mr Abbott, Joe Hockey and Barnaby Joyce. Although it will be interesting to see how far Lindsay Tanner can dial up his rhetoric, having already called the shadow finance minister a “freak show”. Who knows fresh terms of abuse he’s got up his rather long sleeve.

  I don’t see why “Freak show” is abuse when “Psycho chook” is apparently acceptable

Fair call, but Tanner is the Finance Minister. Surely we can expect a little relevant information among the general spin and abuse.

  Your comment:What I don’t understand is why we get so many Liberal hacks that have not raised their heads above the parapet during QT until it appears they no longer have to shuffle though the files as there’s a motion on.. ‘cause the pre written argument for the day is being enacted?

  By all means in the mean-time cut emissions and plant trees. However, there is only ONE true way to cut Pollution.
  CUT THE WORLD POPULATION EXPLOSION of the World by restricting Families to a Maximum of TWO children per family.
  Reward, with Tax incentives, any families with less.
  Punish, by Tax hikes, and any other means, families with more than two.
  Outlaw increasing GDP.
