aka,

it is easy to see you are not among the L:abor hardheads and that you are of the class of university educated socialist idiots that stole the Labor party from it's true owners... and wrecked it.

Adding to the list Newman will deliver us:
Daylight saving (favoured by the SE hated by the rest of Qld)
Uranium mining,
unfettered sandmining,
fracking,
South East roads, services etc at expense of the rest of Qld.

Maybe we will have cause for another Fitzgerald style inquiry. Remember when old Joh didn't understand the separation of powers and Terry Lewis, the police commissioner, was jailed.

What has changed in the LNP since those days. I saw the police union head snuggling up to Newman pushing how the police saw the LNP as the best for Qld. Of course the police like the LNP as the last time they were in, for more than the Borbige blip, the police had free reign.

Newman is going to up the numbers of police, and no doubt up their pay, with money coming from other services.

Qld will be back to the police state of Joh before we know it.

Sulimba will more likely change hands after tomorrow.

The ALP need 163 of the remaining 250 votes to retain the seat.

The extent of the ALP loss is such they have lost a state seat they have held for 80 years. But that isn't the full extent of their problem.

The biggest loser is not the ALP but one K. Rudd. Both the state seats that underpin his federal seat of Griffith are now in LNP hands.

Swan faces a similar senario in Lillie.

They now face the very real probability of losing not only much of their Brisbane City Council representation but also all their Federal representation in Qld.
