Are they losing control of the agenda (click)



Where is Good-News-Mike?
He has even stopped Twittering ................ again!

Surely there is something to open, a photo opportunity somewhere? Oh that's right, can't do that now, you never know who might turn up and spoil the show.

Maybe we can get Lance back? Or even Tiger? Anything, anyone, has to be better than this cesspool of growing angst towards the government?
Perhaps The Advertiser poll doesn't really exist. People say that Rann is untrustfull? Why has this come about?
Maybe it's their fault?
Maybe they lost touch with the electorate, ....... disconnected even?

I can feel it in my bones that Labor in SA is losing control of the agenda.
Again it only has itself to blame. It stopped listening a long time ago, and treated the public as a nuisance that would hopefully go away.

When arrogance and SPIN has been the order of the day for 8 years, everyone finally wakes up. And it's starting to look like an unstoppable train wreck coming now.

We have a Premier who talks to the electorate, like a school teacher speaks to his learning pupils.
Yes Rann has done a few good things, but the vandalism of cutting down thousands of trees in his name, is unforgivable in this dry city, where even new plantings mostly don't survive. Parks are ripped up, and tree lined streets are denuded.
Mike won government in 2002, not outright, but by courting independents into his camp. Some might say he "did a deal with the devil".
Isobel Redmond probably learnt quite a lesson from that one. March 20th is going to be a very interesting day indeed.
