    Personally I don't trust politicians from either side, or the banks. They can only be there for a power trip.

    Default Hardly Representative Response

    Common fellas (and shielas), a mere 30 votes and 400 odd of you have had a look!

    Perhaps you all think this election is all a bit "ho hum"? Well it probably is, but how can we predict the "mood" of the country if you don't vote?

    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    According to John Laws last night, sections of the media will continue to do so as they have done for many years.

    Gra I think that your saying "When given a choice, people will always do the dumbest thing under the circumstances." sums it up.

    SilentC I think you are correct. The reporting of this electoral contest has been interesting.

    It was interesting. Denton asked Lawsey where he thought the real power was. His reply was "sections of the media". This is a bloke who was once best mates with Paul Keating and has generally moved in those circles throughout his career. He reckoned he and Alan Jones don't (or didn't) have much power - people would have forgotten what they had said by the next day. Not sure I believe that, I think that it's an unfortunate fact that guys like him have a lot to do with shaping how people think and ultimately how they vote.

    An interesting and related development yesterday was the journo accused of attempting to influence an independent candidate's preferences in return for front page coverage. There's more to that story than meets the eye.

    There is an option missing from the poll... if it was there, you would have more votes.

    But you ask yourself..."Who was asking, and who was offering"

    Cliff, I suppose you mean "Don't Care". It'd be too late to add it now.

    Does that mean they are so much alike so it doesn't matter?

    20 years ago my grandfather said he had never seen such a liberal labour party and was ashamed of them - he was well read in the papers so maybe the media do hold the cards. Sure do see them stir up a hornests nest over nothing then go quiet over matters of substance - I think being cynical is healthy criticism and sometimes silence is a good answer.

    But you ask yourself..."Who was asking, and who was offering"
    The story, as presented on Media Watch and then later on Lateline was as follows:

    Journo sends an email to candidate: Have you decided how to preference yet??

    Candidate responds: no sweetie it is way too early, let's see what happens on policy from the major parties- if anything!!!!!!

    Journo replies: Too early! My girl, you've got four weeks!!

    Please preference Malcolm. It would be such a good front page story. Also, he'd be a loss to the parliament and George - forgive me - would be no gain.

    Candidate, suddenly expressing outrage, makes comment to Media Watch: It’s interference with a candidate. Journalists and the media are supposed to be non-biased. They are meant to independently write stories and not try to persuade or influence political outcomes by trying to persuade a candidate where their preferences will go.

    Draw your own conclusions.

    Where is the "It makes no bloody difference" option in your poll?
