ALP's new secret weapon: Peta Credlin. Laughing

"Mr Habour-side mansion" indeed.

The lack of alliteration is disappointing though.

For those who have Foxtel, the first people's forum between Turnbull and Shorten is on Sky News right now.

Let us know how it goes, Jezza. Kind of expect the TV debates will suit Turnbull, as he's a better and more natural speaker and seems quicker on his feet.

Sorry David, I'm not watching it so you'll have to rely on the papers to see what was discussed and analysed.

I just heard it being advertised the other night and thought maybe anyone with Foxtel and is interested in the upcoming election might want to watch the forum.

Since the people's forum involved undecided voters, according to Sky News, 42% of the audience are more likely to vote Labor, 29% are more likely to vote for Turnbull and 29% still remain undecided after tonight's discussion and debate.

This was held in the seat of Macquarie which has been held by the Liberals since 2010.

Thanks for the bump, registered for postal vote! I can't be the only one who hates lining up at the poll booths!

The current election campaign is the biggest dud going around. Murdoch has invested heavily and has 3 Sky channels dedicated to the election. Pity there are no actual viewers. A friend who works at a major radio talk back station advised me that during discussions with producers at a weekly meeting it was noted that less calls about either side of politics than previous elections and they are now putting up alternative programs/issues to sensationalise to get listeners back. People have switched off. Shocked

The LNP must be worried, the RACE CARD has been played.

Am I the only one wondering whether the Libs are waiting for a week before the election to drag up the rape allegation against Shorten? I don't know if it's just seen as an absolute no-go zone or not (certainly, Abbott mostly gave Gillard's association with her dodgy former boyfriend a wide berth), but it would hardly be beneath them to get some insidious scandal piece in the Daily Telegraph in election week.

I think that's what a lot of people would say the news story came and went pretty quickly, which I guess is the way it should be for an unsubstantiated allegation.

Paywalled, but if you google the link you'll be able to read it:

Have I got this straight, she was raped in 1986 and comes forward in 2015 and expects a favourable result?

I'm not Shorten fan but I'd find it hard to believe based on what she presented - she was alone and gave the police someone's name from 1986 (why didn't she find them herself)

I don't think the Libs will use this as its thin at best.
