ScoMo only has a hope in hell if he goes to an election before the next budget or earlier. Why? 1/ Housing crash jenga has offically begun. https://www.afr.com/real-estate/sydney-property-prices-fall-the-fastest-in-nine-years-corelogic-20180902-h14udy quote:Higher borrowing costs and unaffordable prices have pushed the housing slowdown that started in Sydney across the country, with not even Hobart immune to the cooling. 2/That pesky NBN roll out. March 2019 is crunch time for many users and the whole musty edifice is about to collapse into a pile of waterlogged copper and foreign call centre poop. Mum's and Dad's without a working internet connection or phone line? Yeah that'll pull votes for the LNP architects.

Scomo talking points: 1/ The only reason we're in this mess is because of 6 years of fiscally irresponsible Labor government, a LNP government will take care of the economy and ensure house prices remain strong 2/ The only reason we're in this mess is because of 6 years of fiscally irresponsible Labor government overpromising on NBN's budget, speed, and rollout timefame. The NBN under the LNP government is stronger and faster than anything Labor could have done. The CPG will lap it up unquestioningly and gratefully as per usual

I didn't know all these LNP spin doctors posted here. Even if the LNP turn around their vote in QLD they still lose due to bleeding votes in NSW and VIC.

bell jar posted:The CPG will lap it up unquestioningly and gratefully as per usual The CPG are absolutely disgusting. More interested in fluff journalism and rubbing shoulders with those in power than doing actual journalism work. Alice Workman is the exception to this. Useless pack of hacks. Not a single one of them bothered to report on Morrison’s “I stopped these” boat trophy despite it being in his office for years. We had to learn it from the NYT.

Never underestimate the desperation of maniacs. On the face of it, I should expect a return of the incumbents in Victoria, but the strategy for the coalition this time is "save the furniture" and I expect attention-grabbing chaos because they won't have a lot of money to throw at any thing properly planned. That's dangerous. It could also end up being backstab-city as civil war breaks out between the coalition partners and/or presumed preference deals are thrown out at the last minute. We just don't know. NSW doesn't matter, whoever wins will always be a bastard.

Vic libs are actively courting as many happy clappers as they can get their hands on to try and transform the party into a republican style outfit funded by religion. The downside to this is that unlike the 60%+ population of Christians in the USA, Australian non-religious are thicker on the ground than Catholics or generic Christians which tells me they're digging a fine and permanent grave.

But they won't campaign on their religious ideals. they'll campaign on the same old poo poo, get elected eventually because opposition's don't win, incumbents lose, and they'll go and wind back abortion and safe schools and fracking and sell everything etc etc

Maybe at a federal level, but the Vic Libs don't really have a clue about anything. If they did, they wouldn't have had a one-term government last time, and wouldn't have put Matthew "lobster with a mobster, openly corrupt, sell off all the land in Victoria" Guy as Party leader. Edit: froglet posted:Genuinely curious how high petrol prices have to be for people to drive less, if not stop entirely. It's not just about petrol prices, people also have to have alternatives. Sure, probably most people drive out of laziness/inertia, but for some it's literally their only reliable and available method of transport. Those people are just gonna get hosed over hard by rising prices, with no real alternatives but to take it.

Yep totally fair point, but people will eventually tire of dandrews and vote 'the other' and that'll be when poo poo goes down a four year hill.
