Polls …Yeah whatever!

A PLUNGE in support for the Federal Government was a clear message that people did not like Prime Minister John Howard’s industrial relations plans, Labor frontbencher Penny Wong said today. Actually, I’m more inclined to think it’s that people don’t like the ACTU/ALP interpretation of Howards IR plans and when the battle smoke has been cleared away by some boring old facts people will be quiet happy. I respect the ALP’s right to claim victory when the polls are more favourable to them but it’s a long way out from the next election and by then common sense will prevail.
