IPSOS poll - stunning Abbott recovery to just 49 to 51 against

 If the latest IPSOS poll can be believed.  The Abbott government has narrowed the gap 49:51 It's the closest the coalitions been since October last year.

However it's not all good news for Abbott with Turnbull and Bishop both rating higher as preferred Liberal leader. Mr Turnball has a 20% lead and Bishop 7%. Shorten is still preferred PM 39:44%

Bolt claims Abbott has a life line. Only a superficial reading can support this conclusion. Some believe the rise is not because of Abbott but the anticipaion of a change of leader. Any claim that Abbott might be able to recover also overlooks the big  historical finding of today's poll. Abbott is seen to be worse than Gillard in 2011. Todays poll sees him as less competent and less trustworthy.

Bolt's tack on this poll is a solo flight of imagination so much so he even Islamises his industry showing just how racist he is.

"The public could be onto the media jihad against Abbott and may now be siding against the media loud mouths and bullies, just as they did when the media tried to ram a republic down their throats." 

Nevertheless he remains on his hands and knees begging the Liberal party  for time,an indication he really doesn't believe in anything he has said.

 
"Demand the media call off the jihad. Call them, write, agitate. Fight back against the media putsch." 

The only thing one can tell Bolt is to stop wailing like a stuck pig it does nothing to enhance Abbott's situation. The racist metaphors he uses just emphasises how divisive Abbott and his supporters are as far as this country is concerned.Bolt's histrionics makes his presence in the industry a farce.

 

Voters appear to be throwing Tony Abbott's leadership a lifeline, with the government recovering some of its losses in the latest opinion poll.
The Fairfax-Ipsos poll shows that the Abbott government has closed in on Labor on a two-party preferred basis, narrowing the gap to 49 per cent compared to Labor's 51.
It is the closest the Coalition has come to Labor since October last year.

But it's not all good news for the Prime Minister, with colleagues Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop both rating higher as preferred Liberal leader.
Mr Turnbull has a 20 percent lead over Mr Abbott - Julie Bishop a 7 per cent lead.
In comparison to Labor leader Bill Shorten, Mr Abbott still trails 39 to 44 per cent as preferred prime minister.

These plotters will pay if they win

Bolt's Threat

Genuine opinion  true debate was lost when Tony Abbott won leadership of the Liberal Party and took it to the extreme right. Abbott ruled his fiefdom as a totalitarian which isn't Australian.He was untrusting from the gecko and he controlled rather than shared government.  The PMO was structured to deliver orders where MP's needed to be invited or go  to be able to do anything.

Australia isn't Europe or America it still has a AAA rating and is one of the worlds best economies. Australians just didn't experience the emergencies  of the rest of world. Yet Abbott was trying to import the GOP ideology rather than develop particular Australian policies. As a result Abbott notion of the National Interest was and is  out of step with the our experience.  He dug a whole for himself. There is no forgiving this man for the narrative he provided us and the style with which he is delivering it. 

The Labour government lost the election the Liberal Party didn't win. Abbott's opposition politics took him in a direction so far to the right that he in fact was a minority party within the LNP.  He'd  lied his way into government but needed to continue. He was so far right he needed to manufacture the emergencies of the US and Europe to govern. Australians aren't the dolts Abbott made us out to be  he could not govern  keep the promises made or inspire us in anyway. Getting rid of him will be a win win for and is in the National Interest

When the Left quotes Twitter, it just quotes its friends

Bolt's blog makes ample use of selected  Twitter comments and  omissions from Twitter  conversations to craft lies and innuendo and prove points. He recently posted a Laura Jayes comment regarding "Multiple Govt sources say Triggs canvassed quitting in discussion with  Moriatis and made it clear she would only do so  if " looked after" but omitted Peter Van Onselens reply that he thought it a fabrication and her reply back "yep" she agreed. 

Chris Kenny changed the innuendo to  report it as multiple sources close to Govt. After all no ministers would raise their hand to this Furphy but maybe they could convince someone else to come out. Hasn't happened yet. But you can be assured no apology will be forthcoming.

However because Murdoch press has a readership of 1.5million and owns 66% of Australian press it has the power to garner enormous conservative influence at any one time. The Fairfax is the only print media we have to being somewhat informative and balanced. However as far as Murdoch Press is concerned always progressive and left. There remains only the digital and social format for individuals or groups to have their say.

 As Murdoch's business model is to support corporate wealth, the conservative rich and political class they draw anger and resentment from the majority of moderate and left Australia. It would only be expected that social media in the main would be the voice of the extreme  left and moderate center.  While social media is the voice of the majority it's not a consolidated voice like that of Murdoch's but far more varied. It's why the ABC is the most trusted public broadcaster has the trust and support of 86% of the Australian public. It's also why Murdoch wants it gone. It's why Murdoch has so much influence.

 

The Bolt Report today, March 1

Bolt's doing it for Murdoch slam the ABC even though it has conservative broadcasters like Tom Switzer an ex Murdoch man working for it. Did you know Bolt is now calling  the Liberals a leftist party as well. 

Given Turnbull has the majority of members ready to vote for him the party can't be conservative. It must be left as moderates are lefties. It's time Abbott and his conservatives broke away from the Liberals and formed their own party.

 

The editor should have a word with Mark Kenny about all those nameless sources

The whole of Murdoch Press has been doing exactly that alluding to nameless sources. 

"many nameless Liberal MPs"  was just too dangerous to run with as no MP would stick their neck out only to be challenged. So it was eventually  turned in the hands of Chris Kenny to "many sources close  to Liberal MPs "all whispering that Gillian Triggs put the word out that she was ready to resign if taken care of. 

The problem  however seems these many sources haven't  spoken up. Even days after Brandis and Moraitis were caught  offering Triggs a specific role . Which Abbott denied outright even after Moriatis admitted it before the estimates committee. and Bishop at question time. Why didn't any of these sources speak up immediately? 

 Van Oslen of the Australian tweeted to Jays of Sky News with whom the rumour originated that it sounded like a lie that couldn't be disproved concocted solely to  damage Triggs and Jays agreed. Bolt however ran with it in his blog leaving out the belief it was a purposefully constructed lie.

 Given this was supposed to have occurred   before Xmas and known widely it does sound like bullshit? Couldn't they change sources to source and get Tim Wilson to do an Ashby on Triggs as was done to Peter Slipper?

 

Age goes full Abbott-Abbott-Abbott

Attention well deserved for the leader of the pack.

 

Madonna warns European hatred of Jews “feels like Nazi Germany”

In Australia that same feeling can be said of Islamophobia not however imported but home grown at the hands of Murdoch media , 2GB and Tony Abbott. I went to a Jewish funeral recently 500 attended not a word of fear. Not a single suggestion of emigrating to Israel. 

The same can't be said of Muslim women in fear of leaving home alone or in fear for their children. The fact that Muslim schools are growing like topsy because parents don't want their kids to feel exclusion in State schools where anti- Muslim sentiment has grown.

Anti-Muslim sentiment is preached by Murdoch media broadcast by 2GB and promoted by politicians like Scott Morrison  as a useful tactic to garner votes. Tony Abbott agrees and applies those divisive tactics without concern.  Spending on National Security as if we were at war.  Explanation Islamic terrorism.

The AFP and ASIO know full well what proud Australians the Islamic community are and have thanked them time and time again. Have you ever seen Andrew Bolt draw regular attention to that? Have you ever notice how he falls over himself to praise the Islamic community or just leave it alone?

By the way Maddonna at 56 has no f@#king clue what Nazi Germany felt like.

 

How Turnbull overplayed his hand

Bolt really seems overly concerned about a man who he says hasn't an iceblocks chance in hell of becoming PM. The Liberal Party prides itself on being a party of individuals not a Totalitarian Party. Bolt advised from his bleacher seat what Abbott needed to do to make it just that and appease those low life back benchers doing the whinging. Change the structure of the PMO Tony that's all that's needed and be more approachable. 

Make the PMO like Hawke's or Blair's or Clinton's in short be more like Labour.

Bolt wants Scott Morrison to throw his hat in the ring. However MPs with a longer track record with the party would be reluctant to see a newcomer promoted so quickly. Frankly I don't think Turnbull will do anything he doesn't need to. Bolt is just another Abbott conservative goading across the school yard to bring it on. That group however are just shrinking
