Oh come on now 'Steal'? Liberals don't steal in a fair contest. They save that immense and often used talent that for voters back pockets. That's why they leave their election costings until the last 2 days. Est' 3,000 persons cut from the public service, any PS's voted early?
Not 'steal' so much as Liberate
And I guess we paid for all 10 visits. We bit off our own arm.

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?

In-fighting to blame for would-be Liberal loss: Clennell | Sky News AustraliaAndrew Clennell says 'if Scott Morrison loses on Saturday night, there’s no doubt in my mind the main reason for it will be the division between the conservatives and moderates in the Liberal Party'. \n\nSenator Jim Molan is running his own unauthorized campaign urging people to vote below the line after he was relegated to fourth spot on the ticket by Liberal Party preselectors. \n\nMr Clennell told Sky News ‘there’s a very strong argument Jim Molan should be further up the ticket, but says ‘to have this division again in the final couple of days in the Coalition is quite damaging’. \n\nThe political correspondent says ‘the left and the right in the Labor Party hate each other, but they haven’t had all these public spats, and frankly, they need to get their act together’. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n aclennell There are no moderates int he Liberal party.

Higgins is sick of the Liberals: Richard Di Natale | Sky News AustraliaGreens candidate Jason Ball hopes to steal the affluent inner-Melbourne seat of Higgins, currently held by outgoing Minister for Women Kelly O'Dwyer, with the help of his party leader Richard Di Natale. \n\nWhile Higgins is traditionally a safe seat, held on a 7.4 per cent margin against the Greens and a buffer of 10.1 per cent against Labor, Senator Di Natale said on Saturday that voters are sick of climate inaction.\n\nHe says, ‘lifetime Liberal voters’ feel like their vote hasn’t counted in the seat, so they’re turning to the Greens ‘for the very first time’.\n\n\n\n What a truly noble quest A white male taking a seat from a female doesn’t help fight the patriarchy. Greens should forfeit in every seat where a white male is against a female incumbent. You know, to promote more women in parliament like they say they want.
