sky news poll showed convincing win for shorten
was my impression too.
Turnbull didn't look like he believed what he was saying
Turnbull seemed rattled a lot stumbling over his words
Shorten got through a slogan that could be effective "I lead my party, your party leads you"
Shorten turned a negative into a positive on asylum seekers: appearing bipartisan and using Turnbulls words to argue that liberal critiques of labour on this helps the asylum seekers*

Shorten has gone 3 years without a gaffe and stayed solidly on message winning now two debates with a formidable opponent. For better or worse if shorten wins one election he could win 4

*Im not a fan of Shorten's position on this. I'm just commenting on the aesthetics of the debate.


Felt like Shorten won it, but I will say this. Even though Malcolm dosnt offer anything when he speaks - he speaks better and more confidently than Bill. Bill always looks like he is reading palm cards in a year 5 history oral exam


Bang on.

Wish pollies in general would just talk like standard human beings.

Shorty is one of the worst for that kind of robotic monotone talking.

Is not confidence inducing at all.

shorten is incredibly disciplined. 3 years without a gaffe. Not many pollies can do that. Staying a small target for 3 years is tough. If he wins the first election he could probably win a bunch

It was like 10 lines. It was a response to another post about me making unsubstantiated posts. Oh well. You can't say i didn't at least explain myself :lol:

it wasn't long and I appreciated your post. Just came at a bad time :)

I will say in general you frustrate me because you flip flop from being reasonable to posting hyperbole. Don't know which one I'm dealing with sometimes :lol:

:lol: Can't go a page without some exaggerations mate.

There's a part of me that still suffers the affliction of watching Sky news before work because it actually has news on it, not a panel of idiots discussing Chris Hemsworth going to the bakery in Byron Bay :lol:

p.s. one of the warnings they gave me at the hospital was "don't work for today and possibly tomorrow. Don't even answer email because people have been fired sending an email while high after an op"
wonder if they were pulling my leg or legit

How do you know he hasn't made a gaffe? Most of the gaffe headlines come from left wing news sources, who are more interested in reporting gaffes than content.

Shortens definitely made some gaffes. Does "my view is the prime ministers view" ring a bell?

So Greens won't back LNP and Labour won't deal with them in the event of a minor win.

Very interested to see what happens if this ends up in a hung parliament.

Yeah don't rate Terri at all lol. She hasn't come across very strongly, likes to throw out claims but then doesn't like it when she's counter claimed from one of the independents or Di Natale.

I actually liked her. She was abrupt & wasn't your typical pollie from the Woolies/Coles (TM) alliance towing the party line.
