11:21AM Clem Bastow | The latest Galaxy poll has
re-confirmed what most sane Australians thought when details of Kevin Rudd’s having visited a strip club magically appeared in the press last week: who gives a shit?
The Labor Party now leads the Government by an extraordinary 14 points on a two-party preferred vote in the latest Herald Sun/Galaxy poll – a result that would see a landslide ALP win if repeated at the coming election.
Instead of damaging Mr Rudd’s standing, revelations of a visit to the strip club appear to have helped him, with 85 per cent of voters polled saying it showed he was “a normal bloke”.
A third said he was unlucky to be caught out. Just 10 per cent said it showed poor morals – and opinion was almost universal with male and female voters taking a similar view.
In further “well duh” news, voters are well over continued rates rises, see Costello’s $17 billion budget surplus as being the result of excessive taxing rather than good economic management, think John Howard is out of touch and old, prefer Coke over Pepsi and would like to see Bec Hewitt return to Summer Bay.
