You seem to know more about Qld politics than we do ourselves, drsmith.It looks like Labor will form government.
Not an option as that was just the tip of the iceberg,One rotten apple found in the new Labor Government in Queensland......Palaszczuk may be short lived if there is a bi-election.
Bill Gordon, member for Cook, abused his partner and reneged on paying child support and has not filed a tax return for some years.
No doubt if he owes money, the Labor Party will pay his bills to keep him in Parliament just like Gillard did with Craig Thomson.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has expelled MP Billy Gordon from Labor over a string of undeclared criminal offences.
Speaking to the media in Townsville, the Premier said Mr Gordon's position was untenable.
The Cook MP posted a statement on social media last night outlining a criminal history dating back to the 1980s and also revealed his mother took out an apprehended violence order against him in 2008.
Not an option as that was just the tip of the iceberg,

A woman who read about the Billy Gordon case has since contacted the premier, to say her own abuser is now a member of Ms Palaszczuk’s government, Fairfax media reports.
The woman does not name the MP, giving only a description of a former job.
“My abuser is now a member of your government and he is not Billy Gordon,” the woman wrote to the premier, according to Fairfax.
“My former partner habitually assaulted me with his fists, leather straps and any other implement that was handy,” she wrote. “ ... in light of your attitude to the Gordon matter I believe my experience should be made public.”
The Treasurer Curtis Pitt says Mr Gordon has been advised he has a right to stay as an independent MP, and his vote will be counted.
Separately, Liberal National Party MP Warren Entsch, whose federal seat overlaps the Cook electorate, has confirmed the LNP was linked to the initial domestic violence complaint against Mr Gordon.
Mr Entsch told The Australian newspaper he had helped Mr Gordon's ex-partner with the child support issue after being approached by the LNP's ousted member for Cook, David Kempton.
He reportedly said he released details about Mr Gordon's past to the media because of Ms Palaszczuk's inaction.
It would appear that the LNP are behind the grubby tactics of smearing the second Indigenous person sworn in to Queensland parliament.

The media is starting to open up their eyes on this oneBUT the headline 'They're hunting Billy Gordon down' is going a little bit too far don't you think? Whatever sells newspapers I spose.
Here is some more proof.....the communist dominated unions are well and truly in control of the Palszczuk Queensland state government ....it will be YES comrade...No comrade...What ever you say comrade.

...and yet she got in despite not even knowing the GST rate.
What does that say about the alternative government?
BESIEGED Queensland MP Billy Gordon has fired back at the media after his former partner described him as a "monster" in a television interview to be aired on Thursday night.
KRISTY Peckham, who has broken her silence on domestic violence allegations levelled against Mr Gordon on the Nine Network's A Current Affair, denies airing the claims for political gain.
...and yet she got in despite not even knowing the GST rate.
What does that say about the alternative government?
I think the level of corruption in the former government were too much even for queenslanders.
