The Government cannot afford to lose this debate. It is the right course of action. Gillard must continue to stay the course and not pander to the media campaign to destabilise Australia's government.

Nielson Poll: Gillard/Labour at all time low
Sky News, A subsidiary service of Murdoch's News Limited, has pushed the results of a Nielson Poll which shows the Labor Government with a primary vote of just 26% support. Missing from the Sky publication is the number polled and the relevant details that back up the poll. There is no doubt that the Gillard Government is languishing in the polls as Labor is under sustained attack by the Murdoch press. A campaign of misinformation and lies from the media itself. The Government’s Carbon Tax is not the solution to global warming BUT it is heading in the right direction. It will shift the economic balance using market forces towards developing a more sustainable and technological energy sector. Which in the long term will provide significant benefits to Australia and the environment. We all suffer by pollution and anything that can shift the balance away from the polluters towards renewal of better technology will in the long term produced more benefits. It is an investment into our future.
The Government cannot afford to lose this debate. It is the right course of action. Gillard must continue to stay the course and not pander to the media campaign to destabilise Australia's government.

1999 revisted: Polls shows Bailieu could win control of both houses
JOHN Brumby’s Labor government could be swept from office today, with a late Age/Nielsen poll showing Ted Baillieu’s Coalition has surged to the lead in the final days of the election campaign.
Source: The Age
The poll, taken on Wednesday and Thursday, shows the Coalition with a potentially election-winning lead of 52 per cent of the vote after distribution of preferences, with Labor on 48 per cent. This is a swing against the government of 4 per cent over the past two weeks and an anti-Labor swing of 6.5 per cent since the last state election in 2006.
Nielsen pollster John Stirton last night said that after taking into account the margin of error in the poll, ‘‘the election result could range from a narrow Labor win to a comfortable Coalition win’’.
A Morgan poll taken over the first four days of this week found the Coalition ahead by 51 per cent to Labor’s 49 per cent.

Strategists from both camps last night said the election was shaping as a cliffhanger, with three results possible: Labor winning a historic fourth term, a hung parliament with the Greens and/or one or more independents determining who forms government, or a Coalition victory.
The Age/Nielsen poll — the biggest of the election campaign, with 1533 voters surveyed — shows Labor’s primary vote collapsing, Mr Baillieu’s approval rating ahead of Mr Brumby’s for the first time, and the Greens polling strongly.
It suggests Labor is still under some threat from the Greens in its inner-city heartland — and that the Coalition could win enough seats to defeat the 11-year-old government.

Nielsen Poll 53:47 to coalition. Majority Coalition voters support gay marriage
GhostWhoVotes reports a federal Nielsen poll published in the Age shows the Coalition, unchanged on last month.
In Victoria, federal Labor is leading the Coalition 53-47 per cent in two-party terms - Labor's best rating on the mainland.
Labor's national primary vote is up one point to 35 per cent, which is 3 points under its election day vote. The Coalition is steady on 43 per cent, while the Greens are down 1 to 13 per cent.
The poll also shows support for gay marriage at 57 per cent and opposition at 37 per cent.
51% Coalition voters were against legalising Gay Marriage - with 42 per cent in favour.
Anyone reading Twitter would think that Gay Marriage was the main issue of this election. Its not, it hardly rates on the political agenda as an issue that changes votes. It is only an issue voiced by a vocal minority.
The real issue is jobs, economy and services. Same sex partnerships have the same legal rights under law the only thing missing the the white wedding and certificate that says marriage.
Civil partnership ceremonies are legal. Its not a civil rights issue as some try to make out. Its a furphy and a Federal Issue. If in doubt hold a referendum, Its not an issue that will determine who I support.
The Green's candidate for Melbourne, Brian Waters SC, only policy is gay marriage. Brian Walters has no idea or his party has no policy on the City Boundaries or the proposal of a Greater Melbourne. In this election planning and environment has taken second stage.
Gay Marriage has overtaken the public debate Aboriginal rights, land rights, our environment or good governance in this election.
Sorry I am not gay, but I do not think gay members of our society are being discriminated against by not having "Marriage" rights. If twon indivuuals lobe eavch opther the certificate that says marrige says nothing, it is just a pecie of paper with a title. The ALP has acted laws to ensure that no one is discriminated against under our laws on the basis of race or sexuality preference. All partnerships (gay or hetrosexual) are equal in law. Visit Russia and all 'marriages" are recorded and performed by the State with a church wedding being an optional confirmation of ones faith and marriage.
There are many issues other then gay mnarriage that deserve more attention. I have no opposition to it I just do not think it is a real issue of concern. Education, planning, evivronment, our economy, electoral refrom and good governance rate much higher in my thinking.

Poll: Nielsen, Baillieu chases Brumby on the run
Source The Age
TWO weeks from polling day, the Victorian election is up for grabs.
Labor is ahead and remains the favourite, but the latest Age/Nielsen poll confirms the government's majority is not assured.
The opposition is behind and remains very unlikely to win in its own right.

But the government's position is perilous because it is under assault not only from its traditional opponent, the Coalition, on its right, but from the comparatively new menace to the ALP, the Greens, on its left.
The Greens are going strong and remain on target to storm Victoria's lower house for the first time - and in the process, give themselves a chance of gaining the balance of power for the first time.
If Ted Baillieu is able to build momentum behind the opposition with his official campaign launch tomorrow, it really will be sweaty palms time for John Brumby.
