Anna Bligh For Premier

Thanks for the link, Joe. Excellent comments by Gary Johns.
I snorted when I heard Campbell Newman yesterday talking about his target.
Why can't they just cut all the b/s and get on with what needs to be done!

Campbell Newman just has to win his seat, take over the reins and apply what Gary Johns has edited in the attachment below.

Is Newman still wet behind the ears.? Setting jobs targets is fraught with danger. He should concentrate all his energies on small business. They will soak up the jobless. It's axiomatic... Labour looks after unions...Liberals look after small business who at present are snowed under with regulations.
 
Campbell Newman's breakfast in Cairns was sold out in 24hrs.
The venue was increased in size and that sold out in the next 24hrs.
It appears the business sector are interested in his "Vision for 2012".
Go!!! Can do. We might get QLD. on the move again.

Hi.
Well its all happening in Brisbane.
The Queensland Flood inquiry has been recalled to hear extraordinary evidence raised by The Australian. On what phase of water release was actually in place prior to the flooding.

Qld election is on March 24th. Just released.

Now it will be interesting to see how the documents are worded when the inquiry is finished.

I smell a cover up in some way. I think something is going to "hit the fan"!!

Bligh is as cunning as a sewer rat. She is deferring the election date until after the flood report because she knows that the report will be favourable to her and possibly detrimental to Campbell Newman. She obviously lies when she says she has no knowledge of the inquiry's findings. The reasons given for the extension of the inquiry "on new evidence" are the catalyst.

Most people will not be fooled by this exercise in political expediency. She will stoop to any depth to retain power.

The rain has been pouring for days, and Bligh who posted a record rebound in the polls after her leadership during last year's flood crisis could be forgiven for thinking the latest deluge might give voters second thoughts about dumping her.

Calliope

That's hardly any depth to retain power.
Are you getting lessons on overstatement from somewhere?

Maybe she would murder the princes in the tower to stay in power?

Not saying she isn't tricky, she is a politician after all.

Sorry Knobby if my distrust of Bligh upsets you. How about this;

Ms Bligh has such high ethical standards that she is delaying the election so that voters can consider the mismanagement of Wivenhoe releases by her government.:bowdown:

I wasn't letting her off, I was criticising your statement! Completely over the top.

Personally I think it is time for a change but I don't live in Queensland.

You obviously know nothing about Qld politics. You assume because she is Labor she is above reproach. The opposite is true.


She will stoop to any depths to pin some dirt on Newman.

I will be voting for her. This Queensland Labor Government has been good for my life.

Interesting, Wysiwyg. I don't want to be intrusive, but could you be a bit specific about what government policies have so benefited you?

The employment present government has allowed in this region through very large company investments.
 
I live in W.A, know nothing about Bligh, other than what I saw on the news during last years floods. I thought she came over really well.
However, the State election, in my opinion will be the electorates way of hitting out at federal labor. My call is, it will be an absolute blood bath.
Time will tell.

Well I do not think the people in the building trade in Cairns will see it that way.
But then in two months we will see what the people really have to say.
A % of workers from Qld. now fly in fly out, to inland QLD or WA, with more leaving weekly.

After all it was in 2011 that some of the mayors and politicians were fighting against each other on whose town had the better facilities to suit that particular workforce.

After almost a year, and spending $10 million or so, the flood inquiry is to be recalled to finalize what mode of water release, the dam control system was in prior to the floods in Brisbane.
One would have thought that this would have been one of the major objectives of the sitting. One would have thought that the modes of operation would be clearly documented.

Even "old matey" in the pub would understand that in a control system such as W1 to W2 to W3, you have to go through W2 to get to W3.
What we want to know is, how long each of the modes were in place relevant to calendar days, and at what rate of release each was.
You would have thought some bright spark could have worked that out in an hour with a calculator.
I have been privy to such a small inquiry where I had employment. It is a "real eye opener" to witness it in practice . I sure this is where the saying comes from ,"bulls##t baffles brains".

But no, we have to wait to see what comes out of the resitting.
