The Labour party has a history of not disendorsing those they should have (Keith Wright and Darcy for instance)and yet they disendorsed Cate for standing by the wishes of her electorate and the Labour Party Environmental policy.
The Dam will not be built, it will be stopped by the Federal Government on Environmental grounds and Beattie will come up smelling of roses. He hasn't released the findings of the engineers because they will show a dam on the Mary River is ill conceived. Brisbane people will still think that he was doing his best to get water for them even though he is really trying to get water for industry. Gympie wouldn't have voted labour in a fit anyway.
I don't think a labour candidate can win the Noosa Electorate. It will be Cate as an Independant and except for the Dam she will vote with labour on other issues. Maybe this is the "master plan"? Maybe this is why Beattie has not kicked her out of the Labour Party altogether.

I am not saying the rules are correct, but that is what they are. As an endorsed labor candidate you certainly know the rules.

The Federal Govt. will not intervene, Bob Hawke stopped the Franklin dam because it was world heritage listed, not the same for Traveston. I do note the recycled no dams stickers left over from Tasmania.

And Johnny is far too smart to have people in Brisbane say you caused our water problems.

Cate cannot win as an independant, Bob Abbott may, Raylene Boyle may but sadly not Cate.

PS Thanks for a comment I can comprehend (grin)

Just a little more about the 3 "drownings" at Alexandria Bay. The first involved a German tourist who walked to the beach and went swimming (in his togs- he was NOT a nudist). A nudist first noticed him floating at the back of a rip and swam out to help whilst another nudist ran to the cliff top to call 000. When the first nudist reached the man he was already dead but he brought the body to shore. The man did not drown but probably died of a heart attack and was swept out to sea in the rip (victims who drown do not float).
The second was a diver who drowned off Lion Rock (which is between Alexandria Bay and the Devils Kitchen) in rough seas. He did not drown at the beach. Again he was wearing a diving suit and was not a nudist. The third was a young boy. His family had walked from Sunshine Beach very early in the morning. They were not nudists. The youngest brother got into difficulty whilst swimming and when the older brother rescued him, he was swept away. It was too early for the first nudists to arrive at the beach. Banning nudity at Alexandria Bay would not have stopped any of these unfortunate deaths.

I note that Joe Natolie has said that the Naroochydore electorate is against the dam as well.
In a few days time we will see who if anyone has been brave enough to nominate as the labour candidate for Noosa.
And as far as the Mary Dam is concerned, it threatens the existance of the Lung Fish which goes back to prehistoric times. This pertains to the biodiversity policy of the Federal Government. And who knows maybe the Indiginous people can find some artifacts in the area as well.

I like cowboy Joe Natoli.

A little while ago, when you could camp at the end of hastings street in the woods camping park, buy a pizza from Doddy's and fill the car from the petrol station Granite Bay was the semi official nude beach, they built a walking track through the national park so all the tourist could look at the nudists. So they went further and further away till they got to A bay.

I do not deny there should be a legal nude beach on the Sunshine Coast, it should be at 3rd bay Coolum. Close to ambulance and rescue and where 1 policeman can patrol the perverts.

The safety issue at A bay is a turf war between Noosa and Sunshine Beach SLSC. Something a state politician should be above.

We will find out more about the dams in the next few days, unfortunately similar lung fish species have been found to thrive around dams, ever driven down murdering creek road?

Jumping to early conclusion Steve?

Your impulsively vented derision ruined otherwise useful preamble to the vastly researched on your part elders-of-zion blueprint for world hegemony. What actually unravelled by now on world's arena with the far reaching repercussions for the hijacked civil society of conscientious citizens. Held in shackles down-under within the Ghetto Australis. Where elementary housing, vital health-care as much as a basic fruit-n-vegies (essential nutrients) cost, quadrupled via inflated machinations, beyond the reach of Aussie battlers.

Deliberately relegated out of the mainstream society into (we had to have it) unemployable's heap. Under US Deputy Sheriff's seized economy and savagely managed autocracy rule. Where all along the elders-of-zion conducted connive selection process (via left-right-n-centre churning party machines) emanated kosher captains. Conditioned to subjugate state and territories plebs within the penal colony.

So it's never easy to be independent thinker, speaking one's mind. Nearing a midst of the ravaging fury, evolving mutation monstrosity shift within the blindfolded nation. Where zionazi ruled establishment (courtesy of a mass media miasma) don't kill our conscientious dissidents right away for pursuing the truth. They label blacklisted battlers as paranoid and extremist misfits.

Invariably destroying thus good reputations and life's vital careers. For some, such a fate being worse than drinking hemlock's poison. For others it's just realisation that life wasn't meant to be easy towards the adamant dissidents in breaking the tyranny of silence on a globally plagued hegemony.

Not surprisingly this type of the revealed insight into contemporary elders-of-zion activity didn't sit well with the born to rule conglomerate and their dedicated gatekeeper Steve Madden. Who possibly be excused for his loopy comments emanation, blamed on a high dosage of methyl prenisolone. No wonder for his obsession with the "little pills"... http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=4632#45921

Yet totally ignorant of the connived Jew jellyback spiteful pollies stoned role model citizens. Perpetrated by thriving untouchables within Zionist apparatus. Camouflaged via melodramatically staged repertoires, ample of mud slinging contests between the parties of flip-flop persuasions. Reflected in the corrupted parliaments of power, where interior benches array has been moulded as norm into Zionist Menorah insignia ... http://ericmatic.free.fr/sitefolder/images/houserepresentative_JPG.jpg
