If you're talking about The Courier Mail (aka The Kevvy Bugle) I'd personally be dubious about anything except the comics and the TV Guide. Even that usually has a few errors
.
There's no question that Rudd has a solid support base in Griffith and generally throughout SEQ, but it's not universal, and took a big whack after his previous PMly antics. Bligh's motley crew haven't helped the Labor brand either.
The Student Union Labor types (I call 'em UniLabor, dunno if it's original) who are running the show at the moment are really failing to engage grass roots supporters. They're not actually
listening to any grass roots supporters so the next elections (state and federal) will probably come as a Roolly Huge Shock, but until they figure out that a lot of ordinary voters think UniLabor are living in an imitation-ivory tower, the polls aren't going to get any prettier.
They all need to get out more. Half hour photo shoots at construction sites ( where they're flanked by flunkies) doesn't really cut it.
