The mystery that is Abbott's unpopularity
Posted: at 4:24 am
Video will begin in 5 seconds.
Syrian officals ordered to leave, a Cabinet committee for foreign worker agreements and possible change to online betting laws, Tim Lester reports.
ONE Liberal MP says Tony Abbott's view of his continuing deep personal unpopularity is that he is in ''a two-horse race and you've just got to beat the other horse''.
In the latest Newspoll his satisfaction rating has fallen to 31 per cent, his lowest ever; his dissatisfaction level rose to a new high of 60 per cent. Julia Gillard has 30 per cent satisfaction and 60 per cent dissatisfaction. Despite Labor trailing 46-54 per cent, she leads as better PM 40-37 per cent.
Rebecca Huntley, a director at Ipsos, which conducts focus groups, says the general feeling about Mr Abbott is that ''there is a question mark over his head - what kind of prime minister would he be?

''They still see him as John Howard's pugilistic minister with a potential for volatility.'' But given his disciplined performance and the government's problems, she expects voters to ''quash any niggling feelings of doubt about him'' at the election.
Nielsen pollster John Stirton says Mr Abbott polarises people. ''Conservative voters think he's a potential saviour for the nation. Everyone else isn't quite so sure.
''His 'take no prisoners' style has had Labor spooked from day one and his reward has been a healthy opinion poll lead for the Coalition. But this has come with a cost, or at least it has reinforced his negative image.''

Heptathlete Rebecca Wardell sure of qualification
Posted: at 4:24 am
FRED WOODCOCK
Canterbury heptathlete Rebecca Wardell remains confident she will qualify for the Olympic Games despite the bar being raised by training partner Sarah Cowley.
Cowley achieved the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) qualifying target of 6050 points with a personal best 6135-points performance in Gotzis, Austria, last weekend.
The 28-year-old's feat means Wardell, 34, must now achieve the Olympic A standard mark of 6150 points over the seven track and field events at two upcoming meetings in Europe.
"It does mean that I will have to do an A standard to be assured of a place on the team. If I now do a score between standard (6050) and the A (6150) then the selectors will have to choose just one of us," Wardell said from the training base in Switzerland she shares with Cowley, Olympic and world shot put champion Valerie Adams and Kiwi decathlete Scott McLaren.
Wardell has not competed in a heptathlon since surgery to repair a stress fracture after injuring her left leg at the Delhi Commonwealth Games in 2010.
But the 33-year-old is upbeat about her chances of making the cut for London.
"I always had 6150 as my target taped to my wall as I knew Sarah was in good shape in the New Zealand summer so it would have been crazy for me to set my sights purely on achieving 6050. Sarah's score in Gotzis doesn't change my focus as I do think I can achieve the A standard in Ratingen [Germany] on June 14 and 15 or at French champs on July 7-8."
Wardell said 6150 was only 42 points more than her personal best (6108) set in Ratingen four years ago.
"I am a better athlete now than I was back then," she said. "The key, as always for me, will be to stay in one piece!"

Geikie and Warlow target Olympics
Posted: at 1:26 pm
Devon shooters Georgina Geikie and Rory Warlow are both hoping to score personal bests at the Olympics after being named as part of Team GB's 10-strong shooting squad.
Pistol shooter Geikie, 27, and skeet shooter Warlow will both compete in their first Olympics this summer.
"If you're not in it you can't win it, so I'm going to give it my best," Geikie told BBC Radio Devon.
"I want to shoot a personal best, but a performance is what I'm going for."
Okehampton's Geikie, who won four medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, added: "If that performance is good enough to win a medal then that's a bonus."
Elburton-based former national champion Warlow, 22, has twice equalled the British record and is the top-ranked skeet shooter in the country.
He says he has been training just as hard physically as he has with his gun.
"We are athletes and I think that to have a very good level of fitness and strength can only help you.
"Being fit and healthy and having a good diet, all of those things contribute to a good performance.
"I want to shoot to the best of my ability and if I could shoot a personal best I'd be very happy.
