The thought of an upper house reminds me of the waste and corruption of the NSW upper house.
If we do have an upper house in QLD we will see some of the dropkicks (Politicians)from the past edging their way back into politics.

Queensland needs an upper house like I need a hole in the head. Maybe when upper houses were not the tools of the lower house, but not any more. Do we really need more politicians duplicating the work of other politicians with the attended staff and expense? If this is part of the Family First platform, I will not be voting for the party. This for me is a show-stopper. Please consign this to the vault of very bad ideas, and face really important issues like speaking out against Halloween which just plants the ideas in kids minds that the spiritual realm is just fairy tales and not to be taken seriously.

Yeah i gotta agree with the Wanderer. What's the diff? Lets say we shift all of Beattie's backbenchers into an upper house, nothing would change. Same dog, different hair cut. Nuff said.
