Not much has changed in QLD then in the last 20 years or so? Remember Russ Hinze - The Minister for Everything? It would appear that the Libs and LNP are doing everything they can to lose this one
Looks like the Qld police have taken to heart Newman's thug behavior. Cowards with badges.
The operator of a Twitter account parodying the Queensland premier, Campbell Newman, has been charged with public nuisance after he stood next to Liberal National party campaigners in Brisbane wearing an “I’m with stupid” T-shirt.
Iain Fogerty’s arrest, which took place at a Fortitude Valley intersection where LNP and Labor campaign teams had lined up in opposition, was blasted by Labor senator Claire Moore as “just ridiculous”.
Fogerty was released on watch-house bail and is due to appear in the Brisbane magistrates court on 4 February.

Well going on nothing, other than comments about the Newman Government, in the press and on here.
One would assume they will be thrown out of office.
Didn't he decimate the public sector? It made a lot of headlines over here in W.A.
There seemed to be a lot of anti Newman marches and demonstrations on t.v, from memory.
And it's hard to imagine the opposition leader actually being a Premier of anything. She comes across like a fourth form hockey team leader with a voice that can almost rival that of Ms Gillard.
It's fascinating how impressions can be formed.

The State government has jumped on police statistics that show property crime has reduced by 31.5% in Townsville, just days into the election campaign.
Yes, they sacked quite a lot of public servants from a public service that was inefficient and bloated.
As a Queenslander I've seen absolutely no reduction in any service level,
and hospital waiting lists are much improved.
Not sure about PS pay rates in Qld.I would like to see our dollars being spent on community stuff rather than pays that are 125% of the private sector and a superannuation that is obscene by private sector comparo.
Agree completely.I would like to see our dollars being spent on community stuff rather than pays that are 125% of the private sector and a superannuation that is obscene by private sector comparo.
Yep, unlimited personal free time, mostly in the name of "personal development", is my observation.The few friends I have had in the public service always seemed to be at home on something called "flexitime?" or in some personal development/policy delivery course... they must have been exhausted ... too exhausted to work probably.
Apart from the government's advertising (which in some respects is misleading because there is still I think a fairly long waiting list to get on the real waiting list, ie long wait time to see some specialists), I've only checked the actual figures for completed procedures at the local hospital which shows a very clear improvement.I know the LNP hacks have been spending taxpayer monies to promote that nugget on telly, but I wonder if there are eligibility turnstiles that are now in place that filter out the true situation, are the ALP hospitals now online with their wizzbang equipment, are there less public servants clogging the system looking for medical certs to use all their sick leave?
From memory the staff pay mess was still in existence two or more years after it first occurred.
Just unbelievable that such a huge stuff up could possibly occur.
Not sure about PS pay rates in Qld.
But as a general comment, in technical areas of work at least, PS pay rates in general (most states) are toward the bottom of the range prevailing in the private sector and superannuation is just the minimum employer contribution as per the law, not a cent more.
Qld maybe different, not sure.
It might have to do with how the polls are trending.I also notice Campbell has taken to big man posture like his mentor the Prime Minister, shoulders lifted, the hands on the holsters, face out front and a walk with purpose ... real man, real leadership...when you can find him outside of the electioneering phases ..he's like an absentee landlord most of the time.
Newspoll showed Greens have 7 per cent of the primary vote with Palmer United Party (PUP) and Katter's Australian Party (KAP) both on 1 per cent.
State Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk has had a change of heart over the possibility of forming a minority government, emphatically ruling it out.
Young Anna has friends like Bill Shorten to help with the economic debate,Meanwhile poor Annastacia Palaszczuk is still battling Scrabble for name inclusion and 10 points for "A". That and the LNP raising the "economic managers" standard up the flagpole.... who wooda thunk it.
He said Queenslanders were just beginning to tune into the election, so the Opposition should start explaining its economic plan.
He then qualified his comments by saying Labor would release its economic policy in the next 20 days.
