This question, along with the related one about whether primary votes or the two party preferred accords greater legitimacy (and note that George Brandis on election night was arguing that it was all about the 2PP, when it looked like [...]

This morning, in response to the Galaxy Poll [see analysis here], Prime Minister Gillard warned that voters in Queensland and New South Wales needed to distinguish between her government and their unpopular state Labor regimes. Is she right that there’s [...]

There is no doubt that the removal last week of a first term Prime Minister, elected through a largely personal campaign (and I defy anyone to assert that the Kevin07 branding paled into insignificance beside Labor’s party image), caused some [...]

Derek Barry at Woolly Days has written a comprehensive post on this year’s Queensland Budget. Suffice it for me to state that I agree with his conclusion: Queensland’s 150th budget is much like the 149th that came before it. It [...]

I’ve previously highlighted Dennis Shanahan and Malcolm Colless as barometers of the new new political narrative (‘Rudd in trouble! Gloss comes off! Action Man Tony Off To Vigorous Start!’). Michelle Grattan provided another twist on the mechanics of constructing such [...]

The Poll Bludger has all the figures on a disastrous Galaxy poll for Queensland Labor. The 59-41 two party preferred in favour of the LNP isn’t so significant in the context of optional preferential voting, where many voters don’t preference [...]

From today’s Crikey email: Anna Bligh certainly wasn’t exaggerating when she observed that Queensland Labor had a bad week. Nor has this week started off well for her, with a Galaxy Poll showing her approval rating plunging to 33%, just [...]

It wouldn’t be a Queensland election without drama. Pauline Hanson redux, a slather of independents contesting LNP heartland seats, beatups about gaffes, the awful musical stylings of the Borg, billionnaire magnates suing pollies for defamation and cancelling press conferences, and [...]

No one would every accuse the LNP leader Lawrence “the Borg” Springborg of being poll driven, would they? I mean… surely it’s a coincidence that the latest Galaxy Poll on state voting intentions found Labor leading strongest on transport and [...]

There’s a Galaxy and a Nielsen poll out this morning, both of which show Labor with a 55-45 lead on 2PP, and Kevin Rudd on better numbers than he enjoyed a year ago – and these are some of the [...]

The other day I pointed to ludicrously misreported Galaxy polling showing federal Labor improving its vote in Queensland. Yesterday, the other bit of the Galaxy Poll was published in the Courier-Mail showing state Labor going backwards in Queensland. (Although actually, [...]
