@ben_hr As Tony Abbott would say, those "statistics" are absolute crap. in reply to ben_hr #
@sspencer_63 But @AustralianLabor is the official account… in reply to sspencer_63 #
@sspencer_63 Or am I missing something…? in reply to sspencer_63 #
@theburgerman An official fake account?!! This is all too confusing for my simple mind. in reply to theburgerman #
@xposya The "A" named candidates? Now that was a nice little manoeuvre. These days they give us Fielding instead… #
@muser74 Yes, I was there. You might be interested in the Day 18 entry here: http://auspol.info/ajZx1f in reply to muser74 #
@muser74 I'm afraid to say auspol is much neglected at present – very out of date. Was on verge of resurrecting it when election called. in reply to muser74 #
@downesy Barber? I think he would prefer hairdresser… in reply to downesy #
@smurray38 Are you going to wear a funny hat or a multi-coloured jumper or suchlike? If not, make sure you wave. in reply to smurray38 #
@downesy He surprised me, actually. Normally he's quite sympathetic to the Libs. Also told me he never votes! in reply to downesy #
@muser74 My criticism of the event was that there wasn't enough time for us all to talk and meet. So how do you see the election going? in reply to muser74 #
@smurray38 A secret signal is in order, I think. in reply to smurray38 #
"Patriarch" has become the new media cliche in Melbourne tonight. #
@muser74 How popular is that view in Bowral these days? #

Is it a rogue? Is it an outlier? When was it taken? What's the trend? Can a poll rise 4 points in a week? Here we go… #
Twirling towards freedom: http://auspol.info/9bbOWl – I don't agree with much in this but it was written by @DanuPoyner so give it a go. #

@AgnessMack Indeed… in reply to AgnessMack #
@KJBar But true left-handers have disowned Obama because he doesn't know how to hold a pen… in reply to KJBar #
RT @mfarnsworth: "The bloody streets of Melbourne" – #Lateline – have they started counting the votes already? #
@KJBar Watch him next time – his hand isn't behind the pen, it's in front of it. There's a bad primary school teacher in there somewhere. in reply to KJBar #
Oh no, even #Lateline calls this man a "patriarch"… #
George Megalogenis says there is a mood for change in Qld & NSW polling to be published tomorrow but swings are patchy. #ausvotes #
Megalogenis says there is a swing to the ALP in Victoria. #ausvotes #Lateline – Liberals falling short overall. #
Megalogenis suggests Abbott's small-target strategy at the campaign launch is to blame for the Libs falling short. #ausvotes #Lateline #
@KJBar If I can do it right, so should POTUS http://twitpic.com/2eaqwr in reply to KJBar #
@mprimmer The Australian's poll tomorrow was in 17 marginals, GM said earlier. in reply to mprimmer #
@samanthamaiden I am not old. in reply to samanthamaiden #
Tingle's mixed metaphors: "Kevin Rudd's train has passed. He's come back into the tent." #Lateline #
Tingle: A government that can't sell itself very effectively and an Opposition that isn't ready for government. #Lateline #
Hartcher says ALP shut down its TV advertising everywhere except Brisbane during the Rudd/leaks fracas a couple of weeks back. #Lateline #
I've got some leaflets I need to letterbox in Lindsay. Anyone able to meet me in Penrith shortly? #ausvotes #
@daGusface They're her leaflets… in reply to daGusface #
@r_marce I'm a premature leafleteer? in reply to r_marce #
@sspencer_63 Isn't part of the problem that Fairfax Digital is separate from the newspapers? Dumbed-down websites not fault of the papers? in reply to sspencer_63 #
@samanthamaiden Sorry, you've lost me… what are you responding to? in reply to samanthamaiden #
RT @WilliamBowe: Galaxy: 3.9% swing to Liberal in western Sydney http://bit.ly/cKXoG3 #ausvotes #
The Australian's Newspoll in marginal seats says the ALP will win McEwen, La Trobe & Dunkley from the Libs in Vic. http://auspol.info/c3PnKU #
Newspoll says a 1.3% swing to coalition in NSW, 3.4% in Queensland. Swing to ALP in Victoria is 6.2% http://auspol.info/c3PnKU #
Newspoll projects ALP to lose Robertson Macquarie, Macarthur, Gilmore, Herbert, Dickson, Longman, Flynn & Dawson. http://auspol.info/c3PnKU #
@emilybwebb La Trobe isn't a surprise, nor is McEwen but Dunkley, whilst not entirely unexpected, is somewhat of a surprise. in reply to emilybwebb #
Newspoll Marginal Seat Polling Detailed Results: http://auspol.info/auQSRl (via @GhostWhoVotes) #
@emilybwebb La Trobe has been line ball for years – currently 0.51% – ALP falls just short each time. It's now or never. Wood is a dill. in reply to emilybwebb #
@henwa Losing in Qld/NSW, gaining in Vic. But Libs not winning enough overall. Pity the poll doesn't include SA. in reply to henwa #
The Age has a major interview with Gillard in today's edition: http://auspol.info/bjsUw1 #
@G_Parker You mean the Abbott reference? Betrays a focus on attacking him. She's also trying hard not to tie herself down to specifics. in reply to G_Parker #
A Shot at the Title: http://auspol.info/bpAq1I – Shaun Carney has a good look at Abbott's success in bringing the Libs close to victory. #
@G_Parker They've had a huge fright, nearly threw it away in June-July. Playing to their strengths now but also need to keep kicking Abbott. in reply to G_Parker #
Sins of the state system: http://auspol.info/9YpHOq – Tony Wright looks at an Australia that has shrunk to Queensland and Sydney. #ausvotes #
@G_Parker That's every government's priority at all times! I hate the word but they need to get a narrative that they can stick to. #
Just the man for the job: http://auspol.info/9BTcPz – John Howard seeks a restoration of his govt through his protege. #
And it's hard to disagree with a single word of this analysis from Dennis Shanahan: http://auspol.info/ab8MvF #
@G_Parker I know… even though I excused myself first, I am still ashamed… in reply to G_Parker #
And the portentous Mr. Kelly flatters the Prime Minister on whom his scribblings may soon depend: http://auspol.info/duy1bz #
@sandraom It's the poor man's Bob Woodward working to secure his access to power. (How's that for simulated academic wankery?!) in reply to sandraom #
@sandraom Hehe… in reply to sandraom #
