Has QLD Labor finally jumped the shark?

Sounds like a pretty desperate move IMO.
I'd be surprised if any of the East Coast Labor governments were re-elected - all have poor records in state-based issues. NSW is toxic and in Vic the opposition just have to hammer the public transport debarcles to win office (Greens and independants could take 4 seats off the major parties in Victoria).
 
Maybe trying to distract from what's really going on?:

Mansions bought by Queensland State Government for transport corridor are no longer needed

Taxpayers are set to lose a fortune as more than $25 million worth of prime Sunshine Coast real estate is sold off after being deemed no longer necessary for a transport corridor.

The Courier-Mail can reveal that over the past 14 months – as Queensland Premier Anna Bligh pushed a fire sale of the state's assets – the Department of Transport and Main Roads quietly bought a dream portfolio of $1 million-plus homes at Hideaway Waters, near Kawana.
