In early 1998, Mal Washer was asked to seek Liberal preselection for the West Australian seat of Moore, where he’d been in general practice for more than a quarter of a century. Washer was chosen unopposed…
Any troubles Tony Abbott has are tiddlers compared with Julia Gillard’s but, despite his repeated pleas for discipline, the opposition leader can’t stop a few cracks and breakouts. Today there were three…
Caucus has left it to next term’s Labor MPs to decide whether they want to reclaim the right to choose the frontbench. A move by retiring backbencher Steve Gibbons was deferred until after the election…
Economist Ross Garnaut has warned against over-playing the dangers of economic growth damaging the ecosystems that are important to life. Current patterns of economic growth had those effects, he said…
As Labor caucus members return to Canberra uncertain who will be PM at the end of this final fortnight parliamentary sitting, voters in the bellwether seat of Eden-Monaro are saying to them: just sort…
Julia Gillard’s pitch last week to female voters has backfired dramatically, with Labor’s primary vote in today’s Nielsen poll falling 3 points to 29% while support among men has plunged 7 points. With…

Election campaigns are all about trying to pin down politicians on plans and commitments. But what later happens is usually rather different. Joe Hockey, expected to be treasurer in fewer than 100 days…

Doug Cameron, the senator with the trademark Scottish accent, has sent a blunt message to Julia Gillard. He told her to stop listening to her communications adviser, John McTernan, whose brogue is just…
Ridicule can be politically deadly, as former chief government whip Joel Fitzgibbon knows full well. His morning TV “joke” today was another spectacular sign of how discipline within Labor has collapsed…
