        Turnbull needs to go. Holding LNP back. Promote Abbott or Dutton to Leadership role.

        Or alternatively - the LNP fails yet again to improve on its consistently poor performance ratings, with the coalition leader failing yet again to stop the rapid decline in support for this shambolic excuse for a government.

        So when Labor does not increase its lead its only HOLDING ON I wonder what the headlines would have been if Labor had dropped 1% point # FFS who would purchase a rag owned by Criminal Murdoch

        The Liberals need the Nationals to get to 47% why don’t the gutless Liberals and Nationals stand alone and c if the can govern the country on there own it’s clear the majority of the country wants the ALP the majority should rule in a democracy

        Why doesn’t the ALP reject those preferences from the Greens and one nation. Why doesn’t ALP reject votes in the senate from Greens and one nation. At least the Liberal and National coalition is transparent.

        Labor under Bill Shorten has won 63 Newspolls: 35 against Abbott (5 then one loss then 30 straight), 28 straight so far against Turnbull. I think the electorate is trying to send a message……

        Well it’s going to be a busy year for elections with Murdoch meddling with our landscaping, entertaining non the least. We’re so lucky we don’t live under a dictatorship.

        It's inevitable, every time liberal is in. People remember why they chose Labor previously
