ducking the question
Well, I thought all the ducks were nicely lined up but apparently not. Though backpages does suggest we've just all been through a dummy run which makes a lot of sense. Anyway, good to see the PM admit he's wasting everyone's time:
"The best thing I can simply say is that when I am in a position to advise the governor-general about an election date I will, and I will naturally announce it...But until then everybody is wasting their time asking me. I haven't made up my mind and I don't really think there is much point in going further on the subject."
But imagine how peeved he'd be if everyone took his advice. I mean, he just loves the speculation, doesn't he? Gratifies his ego, that's for sure. So enough from me then.
