Coalition has a chance with influence of Palmer and Hanson: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says his 'rule of thumb' is that the Coalition needs a primary vote of more than 42 to stand a chance of success at a federal election. \n\nThe latest Newspoll shows both major parties saw increases in the primary vote, with the Liberal Party leading Labor 39 to 37 per cent. \n\nWhile the Liberal Party has increased, Mr Kenny says it is still 'three short from that magic 42 number’. \n\nDespite this, he says this year is different due to the joint influence of Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer, who are polling eight points together. \n\nMr Kenny says ‘this changed dynamic means there is a possibility the Coalition could win with a primary vote as low as 40’. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n Well, that is one short of 43 which is God’s for them because they couldn’t count that far in the latest Liberal leadership spill when Turnbull was knifed without an explanation. Liberals always need someone help, their are in collisions with National and even that is not enough to keep them in poverty, they need another 2-3 party’s to be voted in power, plus they need multinasionals and Murdoch Muppet to fix Election. It just shows how Liberals are popul Don’t worry Chris, when Labor win the election you can go back to full on criticism of them in govt. You carry on like it’s the end of the world.

Australia should export sheep in a ‘sustainable way’: National Farmers Federation | Sky News AustraliaNational Farmers' Federation CEO Tony Mahar says the farming industry fears Labor’s commitment to phase out live sheep exports could trickle over to other animals, calling instead to maintain the trade ‘in a sustainable way’.\n\nMr Mahar has told Sky News that exporting sheep is a ‘viable trade’, but Australia should ‘commit to better regulation and reduction in animal welfare incidents.’\n\nMr Mahar’s remarks come after the non-profit organisation established an election-priority platform, which includes responses, from Labor, the Liberals and the Greens, to a range of farmer-focused priorities. \n\n\n\n\n There IS no sustainable way to maintain this vile trade. Time and time again we see footage of just how cruel live export is. It must go. It's what the majority of Australians have been calling for. This really is an idea whose time has come. BanLiveExport Vote1AJP nothing to fear we will impeach Labor if they win. Farmer fight back against those lefty loser Maybe Mahar would like to live export himself
