Buy a house next to a proposed abattoir that promises 500 jobs in YOUR electorate. 2. Get your spouse to lodge an objection to the development (oops, I mean a submission) with the EPA over possible odours. 3. Let him kick up all hell in the media and with the the local council over the "process". 4. Then (when tackled over it) just sit back and say, "I can't interfere, it's now in the hands of VCAT". Of course if you're NOT in a marginal seat then you'll probably get away with it! “How to ensure defeat” (if you’re in a marginal seat):

1. Buy a house next to a proposed abattoir that promises 500 jobs in YOUR electorate.

2. Get your spouse to lodge an objection to the development (oops, I mean a submission) with the EPA over possible odours.

3. Let him kick up all hell in the media and with the the local council over the “process”.

4. Then (when tackled over it) just sit back and say, “I can’t interfere, it’s now in the hands of VCAT”.

Of course if you’re NOT in a marginal seat then you’ll probably get away with it!

As far as the polls go Ray it's all still within the margin of error for 54/46, which is how it has been all year. Possum Comitatus explains it in great detail, but the short version is "Nothing's changes since January, Howard's headed for a hiding."

I wonder what caused that - Garrett's "gaffe" I suppose. Still, the expected interest rate rise might see the gap widen again.

That sort of arrogance is a real turn-off for voters. Abbott may not be ultimately responsible for the Libs losing but he's certainly ensured they won't claw their way back.
