newspoll 54-46, page-36

In 2013 the Thomson saga will be page 46, The carbon tax seen as a damp squib, RBA will have cut rates even further, the MRRT will have public approval and the May 2013 budget will see Wayne giving business a tax cut (he is just keeping his powder dry until 2013). Tony will be forced to oppose the tax cut because of the way it is funded and his rejection made in 2012. Labor will run an advertising campaign based on Lib rejection of business tax cut and how that is driving down business confidence.

Libs will have to start amswering the hard questions around policy and not the bland statements "We can because we are better"

Aussies have never ever warmed to Tony and this will not improve. He is a dud. When you walk up the entry into the polling booths you will be met by two pictures. One of Tony and one of Julia. Libs would be better off hiding him in a back room .
