are you making fun of us poor little Antipodean humourists, because one of our major political parties has two senior, serving officeholders called Abbott and Costello? How very, very unkind.

Just be attending to your own backyard, please. Get those mortgage organisations to desist from using ridiculous names. “Fanny Mae”, “Freddy Mack”, “Fanny Quack”, “Mae May”, “Freddy, Duck!”, “Emron Up the Amazon”, etc etc etc.

Leave them to clutch at straws and each setback will erode their morale until they are forced to make a genuine effort to adjust ro reality and to present an opposition platform based on dealng with current national and community issues rather than just the usual redecorating of the shopfront facade, while no fundamental psychic change takes place and the old goal of exclusively protecting vested interests at the expense of the community remains unchallenged.

After the Age's ' Good Weekend' article about Tanya and her bi-sexual husband , I don't see why not. Certainly I support a loud out-and-proud Camp Costello. And I'm sure many, many other GiBLeT's would as well. All you have to do is ASK darling. Can’t Priscilla…. sorry, Peter appeal to the Pink vote?

The 24% does not 'outweigh' the 15% to create a negative. It's not like 24% are going to leave the Liberals, if that 15% changes to the liberals they have taken 15% of the vote from Labor. You then need to weigh that against how many Liberals would leave to 'other' or 'alp' as a result of Costello. The 24% only says 'we'll stick where we are' The 15% says 'we might change or we might not'. It tells you nothing about the result on the coalition vote because to find that out you need to know who the 15% is. You need to know how they voted in the 2004 election, if the ever voted Liberal or are they just having a lend? Theres not enough information here to make an informed analysis. Their analysis is still rubbish.
