This is a profoundly important election, and the large-scale characters and oddball side issues on parade should not distract from that.
A key feature of this election is that Labor has for more than a year been promoting a policy package that has remained largely intact into the campaign. The Liberals want to reinforce the economy with Budget surpluses and give tax rewards to those who “have a go”.Labor also wants to produce surpluses but is emphasising the provision of services, such as better-funded health care, and accusing opponents of wanting to cut those services.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison is banking on a strong economy to get him over the line. Picture: AAP Image/Mick TsikasThese are complex matters and require better than glib scrutiny, and an ability to ignore the campaign sideshows. “I’m very happy for the election to be about who you want to be prime minister, me or Bill Shorten,” he said this week.
It argues its franking credits reforms would not affect 96 per cent of Australians, its superannuation changes 95 per cent, family trust reforms would leave 98 per cent of Australians untouched, and limiting the tax deductibility of using an accountant would ignore 99 per cent.
So it's come down to this. GreensLaborGetup vs the angels. Go Gabriel!
I honestly don’t know how this is even close, the Libs have been hopeless in Government.
It really is the 'unloseable' election for Shorten. If, God Forbid he loses then chaos will ensnare the ALP.
The modern day liberal party is hostage to the radical right. The small minority destroyed the Neg for nothing but to kill Malcolm. How can you re-elect a party like that? And I voted Liberal last time. This government needs to go into the dust bin of history

Why news of a Christian-Muslim alliance sent a chill up my spineComment: Why news of a Christian-Muslim alliance sent a chill up my spine l emfarrelly emfarrelly The writer clearly knows nothing of Christian doctrinal history. Islam is merely the Christian heresy of Arianism. The Arian creed was anti-Trinitrian and was expressed as 'There is (only) one God (not Three)'. Islam took it a step further by saying 'There is one God, Allah ...' emfarrelly Jesus paid tax (pulled a coin out of a fish) why doesn't his church pay it - not enough fish in the sea? emfarrelly Yeah division and fighting between the two is much more preferable right 🤨

Why Scott Morrison had to make a last-minute policy pushPolicy isn’t what politicians happen to do in their spare time – for voters it is the strongest guide to who they are. Because he still didn’t have any? Because he is finished. History. The attempt to rope in low deposit flows for low income will fail. It will drive up base prices and base loans especially when the Liberals are not going to fo anything about -ve gearing. This is a policy to have a policy and one which will somehow never be delivered

Politics so rarely engages with females. It's why many women have lost interest'It’s all but impossible to maintain respect when women are ruthlessly pushed aside to further the ambitions of men whose confidence is disproportionate to their abilities.' 🙄 I know loads of women interested in politics .. who wrote this article 🤷🏼♂️ Well they have only got themselves to blame if the Moaning Major Parties are still there to do it again next time to the population gender that holds the larger vote it was reported in numbers? Should Women lay down again or kick them out?

Why do some Labor types hope Tony Abbott wins Warringah?Some on the ALP side relish the thought of the Coalition losing the election but Abbott holding his seat - to ensure a divided Liberal Party in opposition. JacquelineMaley Interesting take, because as I remember it Abbott was quite effective at taking on the govt when last in opposition. Politically effective that is. JacquelineMaley It is like LiberalAus saying let's hope billshortenmp says on as leader when AustralianLabor say they hope TonyAbbottMHR wins. In Bills case they don't think he'll win, in Tonys case, the picture of the wreckage after bull in a china store comes to mind

'Hatchet job': Evicted father hits back at police claimsA Sydney father of a disabled daughter has disputed police claims he was kicked out of the A-League Grand Final because he went in search of better beer. In this case police and their media friends leading the charge are 100% out of line. The police and security officials treat football fans as threats first, people second. so ive heard he was actually trying to access a better area of the grandstand with fancier beer selection and his daughter was no where to be seen Just say sorry please
