Here we go again, folks. The Vodaphone spruiker's only hope of winning the election is to scare the bejesus out of pacifier-sporting Australians over Labor's "radical" (real) policy on climate change and their 'lack of credentials" on the bloody economy.
"The question I pose to the Australian people, quite directly, is this: who do you trust to take these vital decisions about our future?
"Who do you trust to strike the right balance, so our firms and families can plan for the future with confidence? A government that has given Australia 11 unbroken years of prosperity … (or) a party whose policy approach is steeped in recklessness?
"A 20 per cent cut from 1990 levels by 2020 would be the recipe for a Garrett recession. That is not a recession which Australia has to have."
And on and on for the next excruciating five or six months. Never mind that everything Tricky John Howard does or says has only one point: to keep his job. Never mind that the "experts" on his pet climate change taskforce were made up of industry and government representatives, without one representative from an environmental group. The only thing he wants you to hear is Peter Shergold doing an hysterical Chicken Little routine: "The coal-fired power sector will have to shut down and we'll have to take every car off the road," if Labor wins.
The latest Galaxy poll shows the Great Propagandist is on the move, closing the gap to 53-47 in Labor's favour from the previous week's 57-43. That's the change the Tory mongrels have been hoping for.
Alas, the Pied Piper from Hell is on song to yet again pervert the nation without a backbone. Is Australia a joke?

Tommy, time to privatise elections and get rid of the annoying 'middle people'.
Voters are clearly redundant and greater efficiency might be achieved through specific focus groups, commissioned by large corporations and selected religious groups.
They know what we need and this troublesome election process is getting in the way.

Absolutely, joe2. Between Pell Pot, the Pied Piper from Hell and his corporate lords, our democratic rights can neatly be packaged as One Fascism Fits All. This way, we wouldn't continually be distracted from our duty to consume. Me, I'm all in favour. Enough of pussy-footing around what should alternatively be our duty: to man the barricades 24/7. Since we're not up to that, the rest is just hot air.

Hey, Grovelling John; the very last person anyone with a brain or with any sense of decency would trust in any way at all, is YOU!
