I'm bored. Thread title says it all.

Feel free to banter about who you prefer/hate more and why. :)

I personally will vote for Abbott, purely because I can't stand Labor.

I'd Rather Rudd over Gillard - however definetly not Abbott - so at this moment in time I'd vote for the Labor (Gillard).

Most likely voting for The Pirate Party or The Sex Party - both against the filter and for R18+ games (not really their choice though).

However, two party preferred, I truly fear an Abbott government, as one person on twitter put it, "If Abbott gets in, we can no longer say, only in America"

So Labour it is. So far I *like* Gillard, she is apparently an atheist, or at least refuses to declare any religious affiliation, and I really like that. I thought the Christian address by Kevin and Abbott was absolutely disgraceful (coupled with their pandering towards the Australian Christian Lobby - another abhorrent group).

I truly fear the number of times I will have to hear Julia Gillard say "Working Families" in every interview she does. 

FFS we just got rid of Mr. "Reform"

Gillard.  Abbott is probably the worst candidate I've seen in my life time.

I simply perceive it as the fact that so far several of Abbott's comments have been eerily reminiscent of inappropriate political quotes from America. Just FYI, the author of the quote was Daniel Burt (@trubnad).

It should be noted that I'm not completely against the Liberal party, I must admit, I would be a very difficult decision for me if Malcolm Turnbull was still the leader (to choose two party preferred).

Haha, are we old enough and wise enough to say 'in my life time' yet?

Not Abbott, not an out-of-touch religious nut, please.

I can bet you, if this Poll had Rudd there instead of Gillard even..this poll would still yield similar results!
For the same reason stated by Mao, and others. Abbott, is such a lost man. In question time, always starts
off with one question, then sits down and listens to everything, for the whole of question time.

True, but I have much better feeling about Gillard than Rudd. For one, if she is going to "crowd-source" ideas and contributions from her party as she claims, hopefully we won't have any sudden changes in policy, such as waking up to "good morning LOL JK I'm Rudd and I'm putting on a 58% non-negotiable tax".

[Secondly, I place humour over ability to speak Chinese. That got old REAL fast, I don't remember hearing anything about it in the last years.]

I'm in a difficult situation because I really want to vote for my current MP who's Labour, but I don't want Labour to win overall..
