Queensland Election 2012

I am constantly amazed at the amount of Australians that have such an inferiority complex that they seek out what is said by Americans about them.

I thought it was more a case of people from around the world coming together and hating labor.

haha - who said anything about an inferior complex? Just because that's how you spin in doesn't make it so.

However, the article was spot on, imo...
 
Cracker of an article Noco. Store that away, it will be useful in about 17 months time.

Federal Labor members in Queensland will fit on a motor bike after the next election.
Not necessarily with a pillion seat. A Vespa would be suitable as we are keeping cost down in Qld.
I will give Kevie a bell to confirm if he has a suitable license.
p.s. It will be much easier to park when he visits his electorate!!!

Imo Cando had no choice but to sack the Police Minister.
It beggars belief that a newly elected politician, a Cabinet Minister indeed, would do something as utterly stupid as not paying a speeding fine!

Good on Cando for his swift action, but hell, it makes you worry about his selection process.
 

A reasonable comment Julia.

I believe it is being sorted.

It had been predicted that with such a large majority something like this might happen.

Nonetheless it is unacceptable, and has been addressed quickly.

If only the Thompson allegations could be handled as swiftly...
 

It's inevitable that there are some bad apples in the mix but to be able to dispense with them and get on with it is the mark of a good Govt, unlike Gillard and Co covering up , denying and being sly and underhand.

As far as I know, CanDo accepted his resignation. He did not sack him.

He told the erstwhile Police Minister that his position was untenable.
That is making it clear he is sacked.
He apparently allowed the bloke a vestige of dignity in offering his resignation, instead of the record showing he had been sacked.
Imo very well handled by CanDo.
 
How did he get appointed as a minister in the 1st place, Cando is I think Tolate
 
I think Campbell's handling of the Police Minister matter was spot on.

As he said in his media conference, he had a meeting with the minister and gave him a chance to explain the situation, that explanation was unsatisfactory and Campbell was convinced that the minister had received the notice from SPOR (or whatever that agency is called) and therefore had no choice but to stand him down.

So he came across the problem, gave the minister the benefit of natural justice, and acted swiftly and fairly after that.

Very well handled.

What a hypocritical statement, IF...

And what do you say about Gillard appointing the likes of Slipper into the speaker's chair with his spendathon history? And what about Thompson?

Tolate Gillard? Hmmm, never heard you say anything like that. Have a look in your labor backyard - lots of trouble there!

Pot, Kettle, Black...massively...
 
Following the Costello report on the financial status of Queensland, I read in the local paper yesterday where we employ 210,000 public servants. Where and how this number are employed would no doubt take in police, hospital staff and teachers to a great degree.

The report recommends the reduction of that number as a measure to cut costs but I can't invisage the reduction of the essentials as in services provided by police, hospital staff and teachers. We actually need more. I did read some where whereby the health department had two admin staff for every one medical staff so perhaps the government can trim some of that fat..

I it may also be an excuse to impliment a type of political ethnic cleansing to rid the state of ALP cronies appointed by Bligh. Her husband was the first to fall and no doubt there will be others.
