Bizarre.
If you don't live in QLD why would you give two sh*ts?

I know I don't.


Bizarre like if you're not living in Australia, then coming on an Aussie politics forum and giving two sh*ts?


No actually completely different.

And LNP disrespect for the electorate continues. As usual the overwhelming message the LNP are saying they have received from the QLD people is that they (the LNP) did not effectively communicate their message and they have to do better next time. Not that their policies are wrong but that they failed to communicate them. Why we keep tolerating these people disrespecting us some absolutely confounding.


I suppose this is giving us a bit of a break from your paranoia over climate change eh?

9.35pm. Then there’s Maryborough, which Labor will win if Chris Foley doesn’t finish ahead of them. With 27 of 30 booths, the primary votes are 29.6% for the LNP, 25.3% for Labor and 22.1% for Foley. Whether Foley closes the gap depends on preferences, which we won’t know about this evening. That includes 12.6% for Palmer United and 10.4% for others.

9.30pm. So here’s the seats I’ll be over like a rash from now on, namely Labor’s shortest path to 45 off its base of 42:

Ferny Grove. Labor leads by 0.9%, three booths outstanding.



Mansfield. 50.0-50.0, four booths outstanding.

Mount Ommaney. Labor leads by 0.7%, four booths outstanding.

Whitsunday. Labor leads by 0.3%, four booths outstanding.

9.26pm. Pumicestone has moved hard to Labor: lead now of 3.0%. Perhaps we’re seeing different dynamics in Caboolture and Bribie Island, with the count ping-ponging as booths from either end report.

Regardless of which party will win today, it is now obvious that the Federal LNP have to make changes to its core policies, otherwise, it would lose.   The issue is that the austerity measures are too hard for the electorate to swallow.  And furthermore, balancing the budget by selling state assets would never go down well in a conservative state like QLD.   Plus, there is nothing to brag about selling assets, its like selling a fridge at home for $10, and then rent it back for $1 a year, and turn around to tell your parents that you made a $9 profit this year. 



Yes, but they stopped the boats, you have to admit that.

the last thing they need is to have to deal with fringe dwellers and loopys...

This will come as a complete surprise to you, however, there are people in the world who care about the welfare of other people, even if they live in different states or different countries.

Not everyone is a selfish little arsehole, who puts money and self-interest ahead of everything else.

well it looks like one term govts are to become common.  Rudd and federal labor last after one term. Lnp probably to lose after one term and the voters appear to have short memories and even shorter fuses.

It makes it very difficult for everyone if parties from both sides are to be given one term to fix everything, change everything and sort everything out in a year or two.

it isn't a good omen for government from either side.
