Anna Bligh For Premier

[Garpal Gumnut]

I have never in all my born days seen so few ALP Election posters.

It is as if they do not exist.

They'll be the few bowing their heads in shame as they cast their vote in Qld tomorrow.

Assuming you mean above members of this forum defending the Party of their choice, I've also noticed in my area zero posters/signs/letterbox drops from the ALP.
I have no idea if the ALP is even offering a candidate here!
It's a safe LNP seat, but surely they'd have made some attempt to garner a few votes.

John Mickel on "7.30" tonight was very candid in saying they made a total mistake in targeting Campbell Newman and his family with their smear campaign. This has totally backfired on them and he admitted this.

I've never seen any politician make such a frenzied effort as Anna Bligh has in this last week in her desperate attempt to limit the damage. She deserves the debacle which is hopefully to come tomorrow. Just think about the asset sales and how she left Paul Lucas in charge of Health when employees weren't receiving their pay for months on end. Plus much, much more.

Let us just hope that the rout will be complete.

This Labor ALP Union Dominated Government has been the most incompetent government in the history of Queensland, far outweighing in poor governance and venality even the worst of the Joh Bjelke Petersen era.

ALP are advertising in our electorate, but the funny thing is there is no sign of the word "labor" on their advertising. They must be very embarrased to belong to labor...

According to Wiki - this has been a state labor seat since 2001.

I hope she goes. When I was wanting to speak with her about Qld housing about three years ago, she didn't even bother to return the phone calls let alone give me the appointment for which I was asking. Seems that she has little concern for the real problems in her electorate.

Perhaps there should be something like a Fitzgerald inquiry?

It would bankrupt the state.

Let us hope all the ex-ministers and hangers on move south.

Incompetence and backhanders have been endemic in this Labor government.

single digit seats possibly

A tactic they used in NSW. One MP went to the effort of putting a post it note over the tiny word labor that was in the corner. Another tactic they used was to run dummy candidates to try and spread the vote so thin it might just put them over the line.

This was used down here as well

10.10AM: Labor booth workers in Stafford have been handing out fake Greens how-to-vote cards, giving preferences to Labor’s Stirling Hinchliffe.

Did Anna get a new driveway / road up grade?

20 odd years in government is not good for any party but this is surely a sign of the poor state of conservative party's performance which we will soon see in the federal arena when and if Abbott gets up.

Where the proof of your statement, IFocus?

Otherwise it's what you are hoping for and nothing but your own opinion.

Trouble for alp is that a drover's dog is more likely to use common sense, better perception and some sort of organisational skills better than the current alp.

Abbott is not likely to be as bad as or even worse than what we have now in alp leadership. It seems that rusted on laborites can't help but keep kicking Abbott even though he is not PM. Oh, I know, you lefties desperately want Malcolm to rubber stamp the policies that the public don't want. But that is shameful in a democracy, imo.

Oh, and how about fixing up the toxic weeds overgrown in your own backyard before criticising the slightly untrimmed hedge in someone else's...

Excellent reply sails.

My thoughts exactly.

Ah yes the self righteous winners, no excuses now Queensland should be all fixed up in a jiffy with such a landslide.................only problem will be reality of goverment.

As for Abbott his continual avoidance of scrutiny is telling.

 

[Julia]

It's a bit sad that you can't even manage a simple message of congratulations to the LNP for a pretty outstanding win, IF.

iFocus,

The people of Queensland have replied. I need say little more.

They are now polishing their baseball bats for the Federal election, and will probably wipe the Federal ALP out of existence.

The ALP do not listen to the people, and you iFocus just do not get it.

And frankly I think that is a good thing. Diversity of opinion and your opponents out of touch with the people is good.

What's the difference between Qld Labor and a Toyota Tarago??
The Tarago has more seats!!.

Just making the point conservative governments already in WA, NSW and VIC.

WA is so bad state federal Liberal politicians bash the state members because they are unbelievable useless.

VIC is in a state of stagnation and NSW has a whiff of corruption already not to mention both VIC and NSW look like having stalling economies.

LNP have a long history of in fighting watching the venom flow from the LNP about Katter was fascinating.

Campbell Newman looks to be a good operator but that wont help if he surrounded by fools.

Enjoy the moment I give them 2 years before the nats and liberals fall out over issues that Katter has taken up.

 

[drsmith]

What a wipeout. That's a big tsunami heading federal Labor's way.

To survive federally, Labor might have to formalise it's partnership with the Greens to become the GLP.

NSW is actually going ok. Things seem to be actually improving. The only things that seem to be a problem are union thugs and labor entrenched slowing things down.
Having lived in QLD before, labor managed to really run that state downhill in the last 10 years. Was sad to see and I hope Campbell can turn it around and not be just another state wrecker.
