Pretty good odds considering today's poll has them neck and neck.
Morgan polls by asking who the voters who they will preference, he has the parties on the same primary as the other pollsters but because he asks who they will preference the TPP is different and has them at 50/50 . All the other pollsters just use data from past elections, so they don't have as accurate figures. The others only use land lines too, Morgan uses various means of communication so doesn't just get sixty year old bogans answering his questions.
It will be interesting to see who comes out the closest among the pollsters.
My tip is a very close election with as much chance of another hung parliament as a phoney tony win by four or five seats. Qld will be interesting with the Katter and Palmer results.

My tip is WIPE OUT for Rudd. Hope he loses his seat of Griffith, too.
Remember, Skippy, it has been Krudd who has made this a Rudd -v- Abbott thing.
People just do NOT like Rudd, Everybody is talking about the Debate .... if people in Canberra that I meet when buying stuff bring up POLITICS, it is serious.
Rudd is
G-O-N-E.

State breakdowns are the things that count.
ALP could pick up 6 seats in Qld, 2 in NSW, lose 1 in Vic, lose 2 in Tas, SA status quo, WA ALP could pick up 1 or 2 seats. Result—ALP retains govt. That is plausible with current polling.
The only betting market I would look at is Betfair. No idea what that shows, BTW. The other online bookies use election betting to entice new punters.

You LAST CHANCE TRENDY, you ....coulda woulda shoulda.
Rudd has dragged the ALP to the bottom of the pile. He has lied and cheated and back-stabbed and the common man (and woman) at MY local shops are sick of him.
IF a majority of Canberrans (a very safe ALP seat) are sick of Rudd and can't stand the Greens, what happens next?

UK wages decline among worst in Europe
Wages in the UK have seen one of the largest falls in the European Union during the economic downturn, according to official figures.
The figures, which were requested by the Labour Party and collated by the House of Commons library, show average hourly wages have fallen 5.5% since mid-2010, adjusted for inflation.
That is the fourth-worst decline among the 27 EU nations .
By contrast, German hourly wages rose by 2.7% over the same period.
Across the European Union as a whole, average wages fell 0.7%.
Only Greek, Portuguese and Dutch workers have had a steeper decline in hourly wages, the figures showed.

If Abbott becomes PM our dollar will be heading south so all imports will become dearer—unemployment, inflation and interest rates will be heading to Treasurer Howard levels with the deficit double what it is now.
Those trying to buy a house or find work or live on fixed retirement incomes will find life horrifically hard.

Budget under control. Deficits for a few more years but moving to a surplus. Austerity will reverse this, doubling the deficit (and unemployment!)

The budget was supposed to be under control 3 years ago.
It's the ALP spending that's out of control.

The loser makes another stupid statement. Spending has been cut.
