		<description><![CDATA[The Labor government&#8217;s electoral decline began in 2008 and continued under Julia Gillard, according the Liberal Party&#8217;s Federal Director, Brian Loughnan. Addressing the National Press Club in Canberra, Loughnane claimed that despite the difficulty of unseating a first-term government with all the advantages of incumbency, Tony Abbott&#8217;s &#8220;decisive leadership&#8221; made the party competitive throughout the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leaks and Mark Latham were primarily responsible for the ALP&#8217;s near-miss in the 2010 election, according to the ALP National Secretary, Karl Bitar. Addressing the National Press Club in Canberra, Bitar said a belief that Labor would win the election, combined with disillusionment about the government&#8217;s performance, also contributed to the ALP&#8217;s campaign problems.

		<description><![CDATA[The Liberal Party&#8217;s Federal Director, Brian Loughnane, has addressed the National Press Club on the coalition&#8217;s election defeat.
