True, you can't provide nothing positive while in opposition or you just sound like a pack of whingers. I still think you need a couple of fresh rabbits to pull out of the hat while in election mode to get people talking when it counts... ie when they are about to vote. Perhaps there’s hope for the ALP!

The Government is constantly polling the electorate on their concerns anyway, so it won't take an ALP policy to alert them to the electoral potential of any one issue. "Luke, Dan… you guys should be employed by the ALP" One of us already is :-) True, Janet, but you then run the risk of the Government setting the agenda and you running a long way behind.

Rudd needs a new PR person. "Fork in the Road" and "Bridge too Far" are even lamer than Downer's ill fated "the things that matter" mantra... for those old enough to remember that embarassing political episode. (I think he sealed his electoral coffin with the joke about his domestic violence policy being "the things that batter"... probably the fishnet stocking episode didn't help either... uggh) Electorally speaking, my only concern about putting policies upfront too far before an election is that any policies that strike a chord with the electorate are promptly stolen by John Howard... or he at least borrows the rhetoric and promises an adapted version of this policy some time. Which may be good for governance, but not for winning an election. I think you need "election momentum" with some significant populist policies hidden up your sleeve.
