Another 80 days of embarrassing Pinko gaffs. But will it be Juliar gaffing or Kruddy?

by skully Thu 27 Jun 2013, 00:34

So the answer is Krudd. Looks like I may have to rejig the countdown though.

August 24?

by lardbucket Sun 30 Jun 2013, 15:12

Seems the most likely date.

by lardbucket Tue 02 Jul 2013, 10:09

Or not.

Meanwhile, Ed Husic ... one of the most supportive statements comes from a Jewish Liberal backbencher. Good to see.

I'd swear on my 1990 Wisden if I had to choose a book rather than the constitution. Any other books .. Danny, 'Story of O'. Red, 'word of the day highlights 1954'? RD, 'Fox in Socks'?

Got your postal vote sorted, JGK?

No. They aren't open yet. Looks like I am going to have to vote in London (or at least tell the AEC that I voted in London when they send me the fine).

by skully Wed 03 Jul 2013, 07:32

Still no date? I would've thought making the most of this honeymoon was Krudd's best option, i.e. the earlier the better for the Pinkos.

Apparently* if they want to do the Referendum as well it can't be before 14 Sep which is why the Tories bailed out of supporting it yesterday.

Ah, I see. Cheers MrK.

I went in to the AEC today. They offered me 3 forms 'one of which will be appropriate to your situation'!! You can fill in a form now and say that you won't be able to vote ... or you can pick up a postal vote in London or in Manchester (could be useful).

Sometime in October now looking more likely given Krudd wants to go to the G20. But in case he sticks with Sept 14, here's the countdown clock...

COUNTDOWN FOR WEBSITE

by lardbucket Thu 11 Jul 2013, 09:01

Still no date announced then?

by horace Thu 11 Jul 2013, 09:05

no date....polls are on a knife edge....Rudd is wiping the floor with the MM - no doubt a bit unfairly......with support for the MM crumbling and the LNP a bit shaky in the polls, the risk for Rudd is that the Libs will sack the MM and put Turnbull in....Turnbull would romp in the election

by lardbucket Thu 11 Jul 2013, 09:10

it will never happen

by skully Sun 14 Jul 2013, 00:49

61 days to the "still official" Election day. I wonder how close we'll be to that day?

by Paul Keating Sun 14 Jul 2013, 00:51

The qunt might go early.

Didn't they start on the night of him getting the PMship.

BTW - did you read Latham in the AFR yesterday. Utterly scathing of the media's role in modern politics, including Oakes.

The pinko car policy may suck but isn't it a bit stinky that a leasing company immediately culls half its workforce based on the possible impacts of a policy change that may not get up. Surely the workload next week will be the same as this week. Seems to me it was already in the works and the company stumbled onto a convenient excuse.

The workers shoulda been in a union
