Title: Voters Boot Out Newman With Their Cash
Post by Greens_Win on Jan 7^th, 2015 at 3:54pm

While punters have placed their confidence in the LNP to lead the state in the new year, Mr Anderson said the victory will likely be “bittersweet” for Campbell Newman.

“Punters agree Newman won’t keep his seat, more than double the money has come for the $1.40 that he won’t win his seat compared to the $2.80 that he will,” Mr Anderson said.

If this happens, Mr Anderson said the money was on Treasurer Tim Nicholls as preferred leader, priced at $2.10.

“It’s almost a toss of the coin between Nicholls and Scott Emerson at $2.75,” he said.

The Transport Minister is trailed closely by Health Minister Lawrence Springborg ($7) and Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek ($7.50).

I thought gambling was against the Green religion?

That the trouble with relying on shock jocks for your opinions.

I'd be surprised if 0.3% of voters were wasting their money on this, so it's hardly an insight into how the election will unfold.

So you think Labor are a good chance to win the election. Thats a big call considering the margin.

It will be an absolute travesty if they don't.
