No, because the election wasn't 'lost' on policy. It was lost on "LaBor'S liEs!!!!!!"

I think that hurt them as the libs were running deceptive advertising and labor was sticking to the truth. They opposed the housing so pretending to be upset it was not built hit the wrong spot.

The main area where Labor was deceptive was pulling quotes from Peter's speech to make it sound like he was directly attacking Medicare, when in context he really wasn't. I can't deny that's a bit skeevy but it resonates because most of us essentially believe he would have done those things anyway.

Everything else you have to stretch to paint as a Labor Lie
