Mr Palmer was also involved in the approval or rejection of small purchases, including:

$3,546 for lubrication oil

Was that for his employees when he bent them over to donate their entitlements to his vanity political party?

Margaret Thatcher didn't trust people with beards.

So according to Thatcher paedophiles > beard wearers. Harsh.

Anyway it turns out Channel Nine are running an expose on the story in the Daily Telegraph today on disability routing.

If people on welfare weren't bludgers they'd take one of the thousands of jobs Channel Nine is creating in the child abduction industry. Free travel, ten years free accommodation, no special skills required, just need a valid passport. What's stopping you?

Nobody who isn't a completely died in the wool LNP supporter has forgotten the dire loving mess that is the NBN

No-one not on Whirlpool cares enough about the NBN for it to change their vote. It's not a serious election issue.

It's the constant flailing about on economic policy, and picking negative gearing of all things to take a stand on, that's killing Turnbull to the point that even the Murdoch press can't save him.

Put it this way: the NBN is way down the list of issues Labor will campaign on. It adds to the general impression of the incompetence of the Liberals, but it doesn't rate compared to their repeated attacks on health, education, the environment and the poor while supporting tax breaks for the wealthy.

Gutting the NBN is about the only campaign promise the Liberals have delivered on.

Turnbull is now Jim from Utopia in my mind.

Abbott is Arby from British Utopia, a developmentally challenged sociopathic force of destruction.

Actually, that doesn't work because Arby was redeemable.

I don't think the NBN is quite the non-starter you consider it to be.

I'm surprised by how high it is, and as you point out it's likely to be skewed between electorates. It could be as much of a factor in a seat like Indi as the toxic Liberal candidate. And anything can become a bigger issue in a particular election, like IR in 2007.

This year the Opposition parties are spoiled for choice on issues that the Liberals have been incompetent on, most of which are easier to explain to the electorate than FTTN vs FTTP. But it does make a good counter for Turnbull's current infrastructure soundbites - why should we trust the Liberals on other infrastructure when they've destroyed the NBN?

quote:

I was genuinely surprised the economy got such a high place because traditionally (Nineties at least) it went:

The "recession we had to have" changed that - economic performance was for a long time a synonym for interest rates. Now interest rates are a non-issue it's debt.
