Coalition in from$4.50 a few days ago to $2.65...still a chance???
Aussies love a bloke will to smash kids to win footy

@mariner4life That kid was running his mouth and Scomo stepped up. Talk shit get hit.

IMO, it'll be closer than many think because
for as bad as the LNP has been over the past 18 months, what have Labor offered as an alternative? Albo seems a bit dim. They aren't offering anything as a party except a few well placed bribes, and not being the LNP.
Now, it might just work, the LNP have been in for a while, and ScMo is one of the faces of Covid, and people desperately want to bury that.
I think what they want to be wary of, is those "protest votes" going not to Labor, but to independents, which is bad for everybody -
@mariner4life the options are:
- offer nothing and hope people just want a change.
- offer something and havr it shot to shit by the guys offering nothing.
And it EDIT:
wellwon't make a measurable difference for the next 3 years, so they won't last. -

The longevity of Australian PMs hasn’t been too flash of late, so even if Albanese does get in on the back of a unlikeable ScoMo who knows if he will see out his full term
-
A list of random predictions for tomorrow.
Albanese wins between 75-77 seats and forms Government... just
No speeches are made before 10pm as both parties sweat on results in WA
The 'teal wave' sees a win in Goldstein but Sharma, Frydenberg and Zimmerman all hold.
United Australia wins at least one seat in the Senate.
The ALP only just cling onto Hunter, prompting more thinkpieces about how Labor are losing blue collar voters.
Kristina Kenneally, sadly, wins Fowler -

Yep. Especially as the Libs will thoroughly enjoy opposition I think. Basically doing what they do now - fuck all - but they get to criticise the ALP louder.

I struggle to believe the sanity of people who say Frydenberg is under threat.
Primary vote: 49% last time out. Next best was Burnside on the Greens ticket with 21% (56/44 after preferences).
Sure, he said some pretty shit stuff about Victoria, but you're not going to turn that many conservative voters with climate change and "hey this guy is shit".

@barbarian my gag reflex is triggered by the implication that polls mean anything...
Well they don't mean anything, except as a broad indicator of where things are sitting. If you have polled Kooyong and your bloke is polling a primary vote in the 30s, it MAY be bullshit but either way you should think about getting him on a prepoll booth...
-
If a candidate like Josh loses his seat, the LNP are forever toast.
I like how John Carroll described the Climate 200 "Independents"; an orgy of virtue signalling. Diverse lot too
I expect an ALP win, especially given the large amount of pre-polling before ScoMo could claw back the gap, and fervently hope Kenneally loses.

Did prepoll last night. Some fucking whack jobs running in my electorate
Got my democracy sausage around lunch time. Bit of a queue, but moved quickly enough and nice weather so in no rush.
Looked at who I would preference from least irritated by to eventual preferred winner, ensuring Greens go last. There are some genuine weirdos running. Not least of which are the Informed Medical Options Party, named as accurately as the Democratic People's Republic of Congo.

Ah yes. I had some antivax clown called "Bosi" who might as well be them.

He's got a lot of supporters on the ground. Whether that translates is something else, but this feels like the best possible chance for a high profile independent.
