Crikey's Sunday election post-mortem
By The Crikey Team
Here are some of the election items sent to subscribers on Sunday after the
dust had settled from John Howard's spectacular triumph.
Will Howard go the full Fightback! agenda?
No-one picked it. ...
So why did Labor do so badly? There will be a torrent of analysis this week
and we'd love to hear your views to boss @crikey.com.au and might even work
up a survey on the issue.
To kick things off, here are seven government positives and Labor negatives:
...
1. Labor failed to prove its economic credentials and Latham should have
talked more about economic management and reform.
2. Labor's advertising and campaigning was too positive, even though Howard
was constantly called dishonest.
3. The Labor policies were too complex, came too late and created too many
losers.
...
Crikey's man in the Press Gallery, Hugo Kelly, writes:
To the winner the spoils, and the next three years will see John Howard
control both houses of Parliament - the Senate either directly or via the
religious fundamentalists at Family First.
There can be no complaint from Labor. The people have spoken and the
verdict delivered. For Mark Latham and his party, the hard work of serious
Opposition begins today.
...
Former Labor hack Hugo Kelly writes:
...
Ted Horton take a bow and bring back Singo
An advertising expert writes:
Simon Canning was right on Friday in The Australian when he singled out the
Liberal's advertising was much much better than Labor's.
Even though the interest rate campaign was misinformation it hit the nerve
of a public who really don't have much interest or a grasp of economics.
Intelligent people I know were fooled.
... Singo is the man.
They've got about two years to ponder it.
