You may well be right, Mickel. However, I'd be more reassured if he were to spell out at least some of these mismanaged funds so we know he's not just dreaming, wishing or hoping.

I don't agree, the Voters are responsible. I remember lamenting last election how totally incompetent the previous labor Government was under Beattie and that things would only get worse if they were returned, sure 'enuff, that's what happened. I am no great seer but if I can see it, any one can see that rewarding incompetence is a fast slope to oblivion. Same thing again, if labor get in it will get worse because all you are doing is reinforcing to them that their continual incompetence can be rewarded with re-election, if the LNP get in, it will still be just as bad but might not deteriorate..
I have no beef with voters who are happy with the mess we are in, my only beef is with those voters that new labour where doing a terrible job but voted for them anyway.
Can't see why, I could only ever Vote for an Independent. Fundamental to the problems of our democracy is the party political system, nothing can be changed until that is removed, the only way to do that is to have a collection of Independents, where they represent their electorate, not the apparatchik of the party machine.
As to Lindy. I have had direct dealings with her in the past when she was the Minister for Parks and Wildlife, pleasant enough woman but being a Union hack might have good standing in the labour party but doesn't bode well for running the business of Government.
Lawrence Springborg will not be Premier of Queensland on Sunday morning.

Yes, we've been seeing a pretty good example of this in the Federal arena with Steve Fielding just recently.As for voting Independent, the thought of some out-of-step, single minded, universally unpopular member/s (amongst his peers) holding the balance of power worries me a lot, the two party system isn't perfect but to go to a lot of trouble and expense to elect 89 members and then enable a minority to call the tune seems ridiculous.

Surrey Street? What Surrey Street? I've googled "Surrey Street, ALP", which gave me nothing informative. Can't think what else to try???... I spoke to a Sydney mate in Surrey St., where government federally is run from, ...

Ok, so labor has failed, health, economy, scandal after scandal, the list goes on.
But you will vote them in again???
No wonder QLD is in the mess they are in with that sort of attitude.
The LNP is not a viable alternative? where do people get this from? Have you seen a government run by the LNP in QLD, do you object to any major policies?
Sure they bicker when not in government... but has any party not in government been any different?
How anyone can tick the Labor box on election day totally bewilders me, sure you dont have to vote for the LNP but if you keep re-electing failure... what do you expect to get.
sigh.

Ghoti (puzzled, again)
Graciously said GG, but mischievous pedantry wasn't the whole reason for my question. I don't believe that you believe that Sussex Street runs this federal government; not even when you're awake??Correction accepted.
Been driving a double b to the Isa and was overtaking some grey nomads and watching Boston Legal when two sms came through. The mate is buying units in Surrey St. and the ALP HQ is in Sussex St. Got to go.

As I've said previously, Qld elections are won or lost in Brisbane The result tonight shows that nothing has changed. SE Queenslanders will not vote for a country bumpkin. To win an election the LNP will have to produce an urbane charismatic leader.
Sorry mate, count me out, I'd hate to be a politician.
