So, bribes can work
Bit of a shame really, and with our deficit climbing at around $2 billion per week, how many times will the Gillard government be able to bribe itself into some (short term?) popularity?
Labor’s targeted cash handouts to lower-income earners in the budget saw the government’s popularity jump to 30 per cent of the primary vote, up from 27 per cent last fortnight.
A bit of a shame because as adults, we should be able to see past expensive gimmicks.

I guess he really does think he was the change he was waiting for.
On the brighter side, the rise of 3% suggests that 97% of the voters have woken up to this government’s tricks.
With Labor’s record since 2007 you can expect the Handout Minnow to be soon swallowed by the Gargantuan Cost Whale.
Mmm, whaaaaale. Do they serve that in German gaols, or just sauerkraut?
