Perhaps Newman wouldn't have to make these tough choices if Labor had been far more competent in running the state. That is, after all, one of the reasons Bligh and her government was anhilated - the state is effectively broke.
Newman wouldn't have to make these tough choices These are not tough decisions for a conservative - it is their SOP (standard operating procedure) it is just what they do.
If you think it's easy for anyone to make a decision that leaves men and women without a job, affecting their families as well, then you have no idea. I bet you've never even run your own business, so you probably haven't got a clue what I'm talking about.
Showing how tough they are and belting the unions in the process - they all do it and enjoy themselves in the process.
When Newman's finished with Queensland no one there will have a job so it will be welcome to 1950's backwater Queensland courtesy of Campbell Newman.
Lets face it Newman panicked when he saw how massive the Queensland budget is, the huge and diverse income the state now achieves after two decades of massive growth and how large his responsibilities are.
... how enormous the amount of debt Bligh left behind is.
Phew got to the next page!! ARMPIT Again!!

They are real trust worthy aren't they? Eh? Eh?
I'll bet you there are thousands of hardworking QLD public servants, who voted for the mutt, foolishly, ...and are now facing the reality of their choice.!! No job.
What did they expect from an LNP govt.??
Clearly not what they GOT.
And many small but very helpful, small local grants to do with school children, for example, and their issues, have been cut. Really piss ant amounts ie less than 100K ...but priceless to the communities.
But THAT IS THE POINT.!!
The LNP don't really care about people... not at all.
They care about money, and power.
For themselves.... and let the peons make their own way.
