In hindsight and based on the inaccuracies of Newspoll’s over many years, TurnbullMalcolm & JulieBishopMP shouldn’t have 🔪 the incumbent TonyAbbottMHR. LiberalAus
I decided to preference labor last because there were so many polls saying they were ahead.
These polls take themselves so seriously and the media leach on to them for some cheap, low hanging fruit journalism and they were completely wrong. How embarrassing.
The betting bots are reeling from the result this morning.
Made me $400 richer. Thank you sports bet
Those daily opinion polls the media keeps promoting as news are not an indication and a waste of $Millions. Remember this for next time.
Hands up if you lied 🤥 in a news poll ? Me ! More than once ? Me again ! Lesson learned!
I never take any notice of news polls🤷♀️
And the polls were definitely wrong! Polls are undemocratic! They should be banned!
Crap.
Be thankful for small mercies. If Labor’s win is narrow then they will not be able to vandalise our economy with their big policies and no costings.
We’re were polled 4 times and never gave the same answers!
Sad
Rubbish
FakeNews who believes polls... oh yes the MSM. Agenda
No one believes Newspoll or so full of it can’t wait for Labor to have a ICAC auspol ausvotes
Polls are set to decieve.
You had the LNP ahead by 8 seats last election. They won by one. On that alone, Labor will romp home.
Let’s all hope that you’re wrong.

Latest Newspoll shows Labor still on track to winScott Morrison and Bill Shorten will campaign in Sydney on Monday, as the latest Newspoll shows Labor remains poised to win the federal election next weekend. Labor are buying people’s votes this not good government. They are pretending they are a cohesive party. The real issues aren’t being addressed. Overpopulation due to immigration that has created a false economy, the real impact of changes to negative gearing, the 40% death tax. The old wars between the Anglos & the Saxons now on foreign sunburnt black Australian soil on the other side of the world begins!

Shorten channels Labor hero in final campaign speech | Sky News AustraliaBill Shorten has rallied the party faithful with the call for a 'Vote for Change'. \n \nMr Shorten used his major campaign speech to echo former Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam, using the same venue where he delivered his 1972 ‘It’s Time’ speech in Sydney’s west. \n\nThe Opposition Leader was appealing for more action on climate change, more help for childcare workers and aid for pensioners.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n The same venue that cost the Defence Force a months pay. Because of the labor government the defence force didn’t get paid. Because he ran out of money, so he said. Labor even tried to borrow money from the Russians.

I think Labor will be elected, Liberals not offering strong vision: Bolt | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says he thinks Labor will be elected, as Liberals haven’t offered a ‘strong enough vision’ or ‘dared to argue’ against Labor’s global warming hype or its ‘crazy policy’. \n\nMr Bolt says it is ‘insane’ Opposition leader Bill Shorten promises a massive climate plan that would ‘kill most of remaining coal fired power stations, raise power prices, hurt farmers, and would make more motorists buy electric cars’, but won't tell Australians the cost of the plan. \n\nMr Bolt says if Labor is elected and brings in its policies, Australia will be hurt. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n The Australia Andrew Bolt wants will be hurt. The Australia most Australians want will come to fruition. Should a news organisation really be repeatedly advertising a directly partisan opinion piece? Do you have any misgivings at all about this? mediawatch ? ABCmediawatch ? Anyone ? Hurt? Like the hurt of the last six years? Like a failing economy, stagnant wages and doubled debt? On the scale of hurtiness, how hurty will it be?
