Now, if I can just refrain from cracking up……

“So the voters of Queensland have a clear choice. They can either have a Labor Government or they can have a decent health system. They can't have both“

Unfortunately it is nowhere near this simple. There are many things other than health that voters have on their minds when casting their vote. Secondly, from this point forth, Labor will probably do as well as the Coalition would on this issue. In fact they would probably do better, because they have been stung so hard by this issue and desperately need redemption.

So I don’t think an early election or a change of government will do anything to improve the situation.

In the bigger picture, what we need is a government that stops misleading us by telling us that everything is just fine by way of rapid economic growth and an ever-increasing tax base, which by implication means better services and a better quality of life for us all in Qld. It is time for our leaders to tell us the truth – that all this rapid economic growth, which is for the most part provided by rapid population growth, is simply providing approximately the same standard of living for ever-more people without improving anything for the average person.

That’s the key….and the coalition sure as hell ain’t going to provide it…. by all indications
