For the growing number of the politically interested, of course, it is not Morgan but Newspoll which counts for Newspoll is the subject of Crikey’s fortnightly Tipping Contest where contestants give their estimates of what the polling figures will be.
The results so far have been remarkably accurate but more importantly our sponsor www.glug.com.au provides a dozen bottles of wine to the winner! To enter this thinking person’s tipping contest click here with entries closing at 9pm – or earlier if the judge fears that tomorrow’s results have leaked out!
