When he first entered his office, on the second floor of the quaint 1960s red-brick R.G. Menzies house, just a five-minute walk from Parliament in Canberra, the quietly spoken Hirst was staring at a blank canvas.
Brooks was working with familiar faces in Brisbane. Sean Topham, a 28-year-old digital whiz from Auckland and co-founder of digital advisory firm Topham Guerin had worked with Brooks on former British prime minister David Cameron's win in 2015.Now the question was where to base the team. The decision to send them to Queensland, well out of the "Canberra bubble" at the suggestion of Nationals federal director Ben Hindmarsh, was as deliberate as it was strategic.
Heading north also made for more frontbench foot traffic through CCHQ, with about 20 ministers, including the Prime Minister, detouring after campaign stops over the five-week election lead-up. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg spent the summer penning opinion piece after opinion piece, placing the so-called retiree tax and negative gearing on the agenda so by the time of the budget, in which the Coalition promised a return to surplus, the public was ready to judge the government on its economic message.While the press mocked the idea of a budget bounce in the polls, the Liberals' internal research showed it had given them a boost.
latikambourke All they had to do was highlight how ghastly Labor policies were. No need for lies like Mediscare.
latikambourke By bullsh1tting their way to an accidental victory then breakig 1 promise on tax cuts followed by starting to implement Labor policy by looking at retirement incomes? Haha!
latikambourke Interesting and insightful discussion on the renewal of the tactical approach by the Liberal Party, but it does not represent a complete analysis of why the Liberals won and Labor lost. There is so much more as to why the Liberals won than purely their electioneering tactics.
latikambourke Election might as well have been a decade ago for how much we care now.
latikambourke By having media behind them
latikambourke Excellent dissection of the behind the scenes tactics...👍
latikambourke They lied and the media was compliant. Journalism was the biggest loser in this battle.
latikambourke Ya kicked arse PM😂 Shorty's still yelping like a trapped coyote😂😂 Auuuuuuuuuuu Auuuuuuuuuuuu Auuuuuuuuuuuuu😂😂
latikambourke このファミリィー 一家総出でメディアに出ない方が 賢明だと思うけどなあ

Anthony Albanese nominates himself as next Labor leaderAnthony Albanese is reportedly planning to run for the Labor leadership following Bill Shorten’s shock loss in last night’s federal election. Good luck to him. Makes a change from the usual foreign or non-indigenous white European-Anglo-Christians as leaders of white European-Anglo-Australian parties in Australia since free of interference from the British government! Big deal.

One Nation’s support surged across the country – was it all thanks to Labor?One Nation’s vote has surged in Queensland, with a surprise result in a NSW lower house seat as well – and it appears it’s come from Labor voters. No, ignorance was Nope just the redneck idiots that voted for them One Nation sadly has built a reputation within rural regions of being a working-class party. This attitude has stemmed from Pauline Hansons days of being a fish and chip shop owner. Lies and deceit have built that reputation.

'We scared the s**t out of them': Why WA voters couldn’t stomach Shorten’s LaborMark McGowan won by a landslide in the 2017 state election, but Labor's wages and negative gearing policies proved to be too much for WA voters in the federal election. Their policy & costings were never fully explained - Why would people vote for the unknown? big mistake... unless of course they hadnt costed it NOT SCARED, JUST BRAINLESS. TWOTS. “that Western Australia could not be taken for granted,' WA Premier Mark McGowan said late last year.” Spot on, we’re no fools. We know that McGowan hedged about being too linked to Shorten as he realised he was a loser. Not much help while over here. Clever Man our Macca. 🤣🤣🤣

Poor Chloe 🙁 I found the vision of Shorten’s wife staring at him very odd last nigh, it was quite creepy seeing her do it again today😯 China loving and Chinese pandering has its’ limits, I suppose! If Bill Shorten was elected Australia would have been kicked out of FiveEye and soon would have descended into political and security chaos. Thank your lucky star! Congratulation to my Aussie friends!

How the polls got it so wrong predicting a Labor victoryAfter years of polling suggested it was an 'unlosable' election for Bill Shorten, last night's Coalition win seemed like a miracle to many more than just Scott Morrison. We asked the experts why the predictions were so off and it seems the death of the landline has a lot to answer for. Not wrong. They deliberately misled. Keep putting out shit articles no doubt the ABC will be entirely defunded soon anyway iandaw2
