There has been a decrease in both Labor and LNP votes with a fair percentage of this going to the new Bob Katter's Australian Party. The LNP decreased from 49% to 43%, Labor from 24% to 20% and from nowhere Katter is now on 13% - three percent shy of the Greens.

We decided to do a poll with one of our recent articles. The article suggested that ABC Radio National programmes Sound Quality and Quiet Space should be axed.

 
Contest of leaders - qual

As the quants show the best result for the government would be Rudd against  Turnbull, but the best result for the opposition would be Turnbull against Gillard. The following Leximancer maps give some clues as to why this would be the case (click on each of the maps for an enlargement).
