Support for Coalition under Malcolm Turnbull falls to level seen under Brendan Nelson
By Dennis Shanahan

A DIVIDED Coalition has crashed at the end of the Rudd Government's first year in office to where it was under the leadership of Brendan Nelson, as the team of Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop fail on the economy.

Blow Trev.

No thanks, I have some standards.

[Zat]

Sure you do. That's why you joined the herd and started a politics thread.

[Invader Zim]

Meh, you go 'off topic' all the time.

[Zat]

Never said I didn't. I just hate politics threads.

Ms Bishop has failed as Coalition Treasury spokeswoman in her head-to-head contest with Wayne Swan. The West Australian Liberal has become the first person in the Coalition Treasury portfolio to fall behind Mr Swan.

PMSL...how crap is she if she can't beat Wayne farking Swan!!?!?

Classic undercard contest - a little over dressed social climber worrier v the quintissential qhickbilly

The fact that ithe boy with the poison crayon is 'Dennis the Menace' Shanahan is just as important as the story itself. If Nelson was the Andrew Peacock, Mal Tse-Tung could be the John Hewson. Or even the Al Downer.

The fact of the matter is that Kevin is quite popular. Malcolm has been getting high approval ratings but it doesn't matter a jot if the people still like Kev better.

Politicians would be better off if they actually believed in the line they spin to the media ie. "I don't pay attention to opinion polls".

This far out from an election they're about as useful as Nathan Hauritz on a traditional WACA wicket.

An offie into the doctor at the WACA can be quite useful ...

Yes, an offie can be quite useful. However the jury's still out on whether Nathan Hauritz fits that description.

[embee]

He's certainly an offie ....i think the unanswered question is about whether or not he is a good offie

It's a cunning ploy to keep Swan as Treasurer leading up to the next election.
