SENIOR Labor MPs have accused party officials of deliberately delaying polling key marginal seats over fears that the results would be so bad it could spark renewed questions over Julia Gillard's leadership.
And they are accusing Communications Minister Stephen Conroy of being behind the strategy, in signs that a new factional brawl threatens to break out within the party before the election.
A meeting of the federal election campaign committee on Friday was told that a decision on the next round of internal polling in key Victorian marginal seats would not be made for at least a month - after the last parliamentary sitting week.
This is despite a request from senior MPs three months ago for polling to be done to gauge how dire the situation was in Victoria.
Senior Labor figures have demanded that polling be done immediately in the seats of Isaacs, held by Attorney General Mark Dreyfus, Bruce, Corio, Holt and McEwan.
Sources revealed that a "robust" meeting was held in which some MPs demanded that polling be done immediately so they could know which seats were salvageable. They revealed that internal polling in all states other than NSW had been deliberately suppressed or delayed until after the last leadership challenge, to deny Kevin Rudd ammunition.
NSW internal polling has revealed support was at record lows of between 25 per cent and 29 per cent on a primary vote basis, similar to the result that turfed Labor out of office.
In Victoria, polling meant to be done three months ago has not been conducted, with some figures accusing factional leaders in Canberra of trying to delay the process to protect Ms Gillard from another challenge.
Recent Liberal polling has revealed that the Coalition is now ahead in Mr Dreyfus's seat of Isaacs by 2 per cent. Good riddance to Dreyfus.
Labor also fears that Corangamite and Corio, centred around Geelong, are now lost along with Latrobe and Deakin.
"There appears to be a mass outbreak of amnesia in the party," said one senior Labor source. "It's now too late, had we known the situation in some of these seats, we may have been able to do something about saving them."
Mr Conroy yesterday would not comment, claiming he had no knowledge of the issue. Conroy... "no knowledge... so what's new there.
But one senior MP, representing a group of concerned caucus members, said the delay in polling was making MPs more nervous.
"It would be good if they did some polling, so we knew exactly where we stand," said one MP.
The Victorian ALP state secretary Noah Carroll would not comment on meetings of the campaign committee.
So they did the poll after this mornings news but released it last night?We can thank this morning's propaganda for this abysmal poll where some RW idiot claimed that multiple boatloads of Africans from the Congo and Sudan were headed here and due to arrive shortly. Of course he blamed the government.
Maybe even a left wing organisation looking at bringing down western society knowing that they will have useful idiots unable to tell their arse from their elbow cheering them on?Did it ever occur to you right whingers that they might be subsidised by some multinationals or similar organisations for a purpose unknown to us.

If Gillard had the ability to stop the boats - she would be ahead of Abbott in the polls. Nope. too many lies, too much immaturity too many bad decisions too incompetent a government. How do all these poverty stricken people afford to get here? Did it ever occur to you right whingers that they might be subsidised by some multinationals or similar organisations for a purpose unknown to us. Conspiranut time eh... did it ever occur to you they might not be genuine refugees or that closer countries than ours would afford them refugee status and grant them asylum.
There are powers higher than this government who want to see a massive population explosion in Australia.
It will be interesting to see how Abbott will cope with this oncoming avalanche of asylum seekers. yes, it will. but this government seem incapable for doing anything and your Green party want them all allowed in.![]()
