The Herald Sun has published a poll of 314 respondents from the marginal eastern Melbourne seat of Deakin, based on “polling research conducted by Anne Wright, Peter Varley, Amelia Harris and Zoe Harrison”. I take this to mean that four cadets were lumbered with the task of ringing round the electorate. The poll shows Labor candidate Mike Symon with a commanding primary vote lead over Liberal member Phil Barresi, of 45 per cent to 38 per cent. This roughly translates into a 55-45 win for Labor from a swing of 10 per cent.

Sort of. No sooner had one problem gone away than another one has arrived. And sadly, the last week’s worth of comments has been lost forever.

i know it’s stupid but i’m sorely tempted to do a private poll, using only the phone book, in bennelong ……. except i just had an epiphany (viz too much booze). i’m just gonna luxuriate in the possumptuousness of the next 3 weeks
