Yes Damos. Unlike the ALP the Liberals (and Republicans in the US!), look after their core supporters. The ALP thinks that they'll never get back the voters who left them for Howard unless they are seen to be tougher than the Liberals. The chattering classes have nowhere else to go, unless like me they're thinking of voting green and giving their preference to ANYBODY but the NSW right (in particular the Terrigals in the NSW(?)party, so I am informed they are called by my equally outraged bookseller).
Imagine if the ALP had been elected last time.
