This bloke Newman is up to his armpits in corruption, NO developer EVER donates that much for nothing.

Politics attracts some low life creeps doesn't it.:mad:

Now MrBurns I was chipped the other day on jumping the gun on Craig Thompson.
Why don't we wait and see the facts, instead of listening to the media or Labor scaremongering.
What will happen following the 24th, is most political journalist will have their annual leave.

Craig Thomson is a sleezy creep, can you imagine him doing anything for the public good ? He's just a freeloading insect.

I was a real estate agent for 20 years no developer gives away that sort of money for nothing end of story.

A few years back I gave a person a opportunity to be trained as a Boiler operator.
It was against the opinion of the Chief Engineer and 3 other people who were opinionated.
I kept an eye on him for the next 3 years.
Well golly gosh, he had the minimal number of boiler and steam problems.
Why was he different.? Well he was a quite sort of a guy with integrity.

You just cannot judge a book by its cover. You have to look deeper.
I think we should give Campbell ago.

Funnily enough MrBurns a lot of people would stereotype you and pidgeon hole you just on that statement. Lifes ironic isn't it.:D

By the way I don't have any idea on the Queensland situation and don't give a rats either way. Just find it funny that labor in Queensland and labor federally seem to be throwing a lot of mud, an old union trick to fire up the workers. Hope it works for them.:eek:

I'm not elected and I don't misuse public money, dont care about Qld politics either but it annoys me to see a creep like him get in because Labor aren't electable.

From the snippets we hear over in the west, he might not get in and the lnp might, funny situation.
However following your train of thought, the very same reasoning may see labor get back in federally i.e because people don't like Abbott.

Trouble is, labor will rake up dirt on any leader of the LNP - unless it's someone like Malcolm who seems to be more in tune with ALP and seemingly at odds with LNP policies.

Abbott isnt popular because of his awkward manner, he's not dishonest, thats the difference, Gillard is universally hated she has no hope of getting back in and Labor know it.

But are we voting for the persona of the leaders or the ideology of the parties and their past record?

One thing for sure it will show if the mud slinging politics works for labor. It did over here in the west a couple of elections ago labor made Barnett out to be a crackpot over bringing water down from the north.
Now labor is in the wilderness.

Well, it looks as though Labor's mud slinging campaign is working.
You're not even in Queensland and you nonetheless have rubbished our only alternative to the gross mismanagement Bligh and Co. have heaped on the State.

Based on what exactly?

Are you even remotely aware of the mess Qld Labor have made, particularly of Health which is a complete fiasco?
Many other messes, but I can't be bothered trying to explain it to you, given you have apparently already decided someone about whom you know next to nothing is completely appalling.

The Chasers used to have a segment where they would film some total idjits making completely unreasonable statements, and flash across the screen:

"This Person Votes !!!"

I'm not from QLD either but seriously - who is Anna Bligh to think she can sling mud when her own Husband landed a cushy climate job with ZERO credentials then gets a pretty SWEET contract renewal when she'll no doubt be sent to the dogs in 10 days.

Politics is slimey but to hear this rubbish makes me want to run for politics myself - clean it up :p:

Exactly. She is an expert in the slime department, always delivered in that quite sweet voice.
Campbell Newman has found himself unprepared for the viciousness of State Labor's attack and is out of his depth in knowing how to respond.

I suspect the electorate on the whole will see Bligh's attempts for what they are and her behaviour may well actually lose her more votes.
 
I watched the forum with Anna Bligh and Campbell Newman and not once did I hear Newman attack Bligh on a personal issue.

Bligh was more than happy to contiue her personal attack on Newman and I hope it all back fires on her.

The LNP did have a dirt file on Bligh and Newman squashed it and he does deserve credit for his decision.

Anna was her own true self with her top rated spin. I am not sure who would win in that department Bligh or Gillard.
