Tired, out of ideas and playing to the base
Many people will have already seen the latest attack ad from the Liberals - reminiscent of the Robert Doyle attack ads a few years back in the Victorian State Election.
All these ads really do is speak to the Liberal’s base. The Lib’s support is so low that they are really desperate to still show the neo-cons and ultra conservatives that they can still bash unions and the ALP without addressing policy issues.
For most people however, these ads don’t mean anything. People with a positive union experience will ignore the ad, and for most people with a neutral union experience, the ads won’t make sense (why is it bad for Labor to have lots of union officials in Parliament?).
And in other news, there is a poll at the SMH. The voting so far shows a great deal of support for Labor.

You’re actually taking an online poll seriously?
That smacks of desperation.
