      Overnight, Jelena Dokic unsurprisingly lost 6-2 6-2.
      Inevitably in Question time today, the Federal Opposition failing to win one point, went down 6-0 6-0.
      Apologies to Jelena for this comparison, at least she can play the game.

      Oppositions in Question Time always lose.

      It’s a shame the public don’t get to witness how inept this opposition is.
      Unfortunately, as one Lib strategist has stated.
      Excerpt SMH
      ” The media is behind Abbott and have attacked Rudd relentlessly, which is showing in the Polls”.
      Therein, lies the truth behind the rise of the opposition.  The Coalition certainly hasn’t rebirthed out of competence.

      What a load of crap. Ruddl/Labors decline in the polls is because of backflips, broken promises, failed schemes and constant failure to implement any of their programs and policy’s successfully. Kevin Rudd is a failure. I don’t hold out much hope for Abbott and the Libs either. Rudd has had 2 and half years of media adoration. Now they realise he is a failure as a PM.

      The problem is that the Liberal Party do not play dirty as does the Labor Party

      Louisa,
      What planet are you on?
      Yesterday’s comments by coalition members, many of which have since been retracted, make a lie of your post.

      The media has not even begun to expose ALP incompetence and has definitely not yet swung behind the Coalition.  Keith is correct, polls are all the result of own goals.

      Constant denial of the obvious is the order of the day. Tanner on the 7:30 report tonight (Swann is in the foetal position and in hiding) and no-one has looked more like Monty Pythons’ knight with no arms left, stoically denying the bleeding obvious, god love him.

      People who got taken by this bunch should be getting the baseball bats out.
