Flo,

Joh left a great legacy for Queenslanders and that has far outlived any taint of corruption which, in hindsight was really quite limited.

Robert,

Joh lost Brisbane, when the Liberals deserted the state coalition. Had that not have happened Joh would still be Premier. When the coalition win in Brisbane they win Queensland.

Both,

The Menzies/Holt/Gorton/ McMahon Government left a great legacy as did the Hawke/Keating Government, as did the Howard Government.

All were long-term governments ... that renewed.

It is hard to see how the same will be said about the Carr/Iemma, Rees/ Kennealy Labor Government.

Good article
It should be mandatory that parties can only do a maximum of two terms I agree with the previous blogger. That way pollies can concentrate on governing and not waste time on setting themselves up for another win.
Maybe we should rotate them at every election eh!
