In response to the news that the federal government is trailing the opposition by 20%25 in the latest Newspoll, Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce said today:
“More importantly, we’ve got to work harder, we’ve got to show people the view out of the front of the bus. [If we] show people the vision out of the front of the bus, [we] give people the reason to stay on the bus for another three years.”
Maybe it would help, Barnaby, if your government wasn’t trying to run people down with that very same bus.
And if that 60/40 poll result were to be accurate? The Daily Flute has a list of who’d lose their seats in the unlikely event that the swing was that big – and uniform. There’s plenty of names there that I certainly wouldn’t miss.
