Yeah nah, that’s not what he’s saying at all Bonash. He’s simply pointing out that promoting Act’s referendum may likely translate into promoting Act next year at the election. Seems fairly straight forward to me.

With the Nat’s hard core attack on gangs, solo mums, and welfare, I think next years election is going to be very dirty. With Bridges’ career hanging on the outcome he’s going to use every dirty trick, red meat issue, lie, he can getaway with. Simply put the guy has NOTHING to lose.

That’s called democracy isn’t it?
It appears that you believe the referendum will result in a resounding defeat for your side. I wrote a comment recently that I believe the referendum will succeed by “the length of a street”. We will see. What it might do to the internal politics of the government is of no concern at all.

Certainly my view is they seem to want to be in opposition. Starting with the passage of the CP-TPP (which Trump kept his promise on and walked away), they have failed again and again to acknowledge the needs and concerns of true left wingers like myself.

Its not that people want the right back but if they are anything like me they want a left leaning government that is just that in more than just words.
