Anna Bligh For Premier

Jump to new
OK. The LNP is going to romp in. It's now up to the electors of Ashgrove to decide;

(a) Do they want a Premier as their representative? or;

(b) Do they want someone in a rump Opposition party to represent them?

They are not stupid. I'll put my money on (a).

She appears like a desperate shrew, tossing allegations without foundation.

One wonders what dirty deals lie hidden to be revealed when the LNP get in to power.

She really is a tad unhinged at present.

GG. I reckon she will regret taking a base ball bat to Newman with her shameful smear compaign, untill the day she retires from politics, and that could be sooner than people think.
 
After the money at sports bet being pretty consistent, there has been a move.
Newman firming from $1.50 to $1.33.
Jones drifting from $2.20 to $2.65.

With the Qld. election looking like a fore gone conclusion with a win to LNP, we are now going to see the media attempt to create some excitement out of Ashgrove.
Its interesting that the media has not highlighted the fact that Labor candidates are not using the Labor signature on their banners.

Overnight there is a further firming for Newman.

I hope the comment from Calliope holds firm.
5 days to go.!!!

Kate Jones got a very long and nice interview on ABC news this morning. Wonder if Newman will get the same opportunity?

I was watching that, and my money is on he will not.
But I will put $100 on the nose that the LNP MP'S will be questioned numerous times, on who will be Premier if Newman fails to win Ashgrove.
I am actually waiting for some of the media to wake up to Newman firming further in sports bet. The money has gone on since the Sunday Mail was released.

Hi joea
I bet he wont either.
I think sports bet is more reliable than any polls.

I will put another $100 on a scare campaign by Labor against developers and business all the way to Saturday 8am.

Campbell Newman, today released his first 100 days in government if He and LNP wins.

Closely following this was Gillard on a Federal Skill package.

One wonders if Federal Labor is taking an offensive this week, to lessen the damage to Labor in Queensland State Election.?????

Newman is now a shoe-in for Ashgrove and he will be the next Premier. Labor's smear campaign has backfired. Bligh is now in the humiliating position of having to look for sympathy and beg the electorate to let her and her gang down lightly, in next Saturday's train wreck.
 
I'm now firmly in the Lib camp on this, I no longer care what Newman did, if anything, Labor need to be dispensed with at all levels, I hope they have almost no seats left in Qld after Saturday.

You would have though they would have learnt from the failed compaigns in the other states, but no.
 
I feel a bit unreasonable in saying this, but I'm aware that when I vote tomorrow it's definitely not just about State Labor but with a definite "pox on this dreadful federal Labor" also. I'm tempted, just for my own satisfaction, to write something like that on my ballot paper.

Anyone else think either their own or other voters' intentions will be similar?
 
Go Queenslanders! In particular, a good comment on Ashgrovians that the electorate rallied to Campbell Newman's banner after the revenge politicking smear campaign.

Julia, I thought it voids the ballot paper if anything is written on it other than numbers in the boxes. Not sure if that is correct though.

Hopefully, the sheer swing against labor will be masssive enough for them to realise they can't get away with thumbing their noses at the people they are paid to represent.

Yes, I'd be careful. It might void your vote.
 
Good reminder, thanks Sails and Bellenuit. I couldn't get your link to work, Sails, but the following is from Antony Green's election blog.

DON'T write in such a way that the voting squares will be obscured. This will make your vote informal. And DON'T put your name or address on the ballot paper. Your vote will be informal if you can be identified from the ballot paper.

It would be a childish gesture on my part, I suppose, and pointless given the only people seeing my irritation would be the local vote counter.
