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.

If you don’t live in Australia, why would you care?

If you're an Australian you'd care about the federal government election because the country represents you and makes foreign policy decisions that impact you.
Also they make decisions which impact you and your assets/superannuation etc that you've left in Australia.

However state elections. It's bizarre would give a toss about who is elected in a state in which they don't live.
If it doesn't affect you, then really they can elect the communist party for all I care.

Federal though, that's a whole different ball game. We all care there.

But people on here not from QLD happy or disappointed at a result that doesn't affect them?
Most odd...

It's not odd at all. The more states libs lose the better it is for all of Australia. QLD is a part of us(Australia) and just over the border from me. We want the best for them and I'm glad to see them make their decision.

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?

Me thinks you're a lot more p!ssed off with the result then you pretend

My friend I couldn't give a monkeys toss.
It don't affect me a single cent.

Hence my point, if you don't live in QLD why care?

Don't your money hiding inlaws live in QLD? You care about your wife's family?

Why would he care about them? They don’t make money for him.

They won’t even pay his fines.

Incredibly poor form.
They'd be the only older generation not trusting of banks you reckon???

And yes they are up in Townsville and pretty immune to any change in Government.

Why would they not trust a bank? Funds under $100,000 are govt guaranteed, open multiple accounts at multiple banks. If the banks go belly up their cash won't be worth toilet paper anyway.

Reply #170 - Jan 31^st, 2015 at 10:38pm Andrei..when QLD loses a state election, it therefore strongly indicates that the Federal Govt. also loses their next election,that is why most on here are so excited, they want Abbott gone- not that you care anyway right?

It's an older generation mindset isn't it?
That's just how they are. It's not uncommon for people in their 70s to think this way.

I don’t vote for political parties as my user name implies. The LNP are a party of businessmen for businessmen. This is true of most conservative parties worldwide. They don’t see anything worthwhile beyond the bottom line. Nothing intrinsically wrong with that point of view until they try to set themselves up for when they are out of office by duping the tax payer. Which is just what the LNP hope to do with the asset sales.

FOLEY, Christopher 5,223 22.05

With these numbers, it's hard to be super confident of Labor getting to 45.

Could be some interesting negotiations in the next couple of days.

Has anyone else noticed how Labor is saying that federal issues played a role, and the Coalition saying that it was exclusively state-based, and last Qld election, it was the reverse?

What lying little arseholes both sides!

I think you're seeing what you want to see. Many, if not all, the Qld LNP members I saw interviewed tonight in the ABC studio were quick to blame Tony Abbott and the Fed Govt for much of what went wrong tonight and one of the members even referred to the "Abbott factor" and speculated that if Abbott didn't pull something out of the bag at his Monday press club speech it would be all over for him. To be quite frank. I don't know how much more vocal they could have been on the issue.
