Isn't it funny how all the labor voters have pulled their heads in as we go through what can only be described as the most outrageous sets of labor governments that rule our states and country.

I live in QLD and I tell you that this doctor jeckle and mrs bligh we have here must cause mass embaresment for even the hardened labor voters.

Rego's up by 20%
Fuel up by 10c
Taxes raised through rates, cat registrations etc
Not to mention the fact that she is selling anything that isn't bolted down. All because they are incompitent liers.

Is there a light at the end of their tunnel? Anyone?

The problem is, rehctub, that there is no viable alternative in Queensland. The LNP are a shambles, and the unicameral, optionally prferential electoral system is designed to keep out the minor parties and independents.

Mind you, I think that the axing of the fuel subsidy, increases in car registration and even cat registrations are justifiable. I'm with you on the sell-offs, and I agree that they are liars.

However, like most people in Queensland, I'm forced to trust them in the face of no credible alternative.

C J Morgan has got it about right rectub.
We however do not all live in Queensland, the fuel thing had to come it was a handout.
In my state I a welded on ALP voter have taken the short stick to the foolish ones who are destroying it.
But recent moves by the colourless leader, direction less, leadership of the conservatives is frightening.
A massive attempt to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory , may yet succeed.
No good looking at issue only from your point of view, none of us have all the answers.
my state?
Well it takes no great mind to see Labour will bump our leader before the election, one day later than today is too long to wait.
If they replace him with Sator?
We may hold very few seats in the next Parliament, just maybe less than the greens and independents.
Strange to say our only friend is,,,,,,,,,leader of the opposition

Yes I do agree there is no real alternative and that's a shame.

The problems with our political system is that parties can gain office bassed on lies. (Both sides).

Now if an election promise is broken then perhaps we could stop paying a portion of our taxes, or, perhaps the sitting parties should have to contribute to the extra wasted taxes, after all, they betrayed us when we voted for them.

The failed grocery price site and fuel watch are two recent examples of wasted taxes and nobody but we the tax payers are futting the bill.

$4 million has been granted for a study into a rail to Redcliffe. This has been going on for 30 years. How many $4 millions have been wasted on this?

If you apply for work and tell lies then you may well be sacked, or, if you over state your qualifications you may well be demoted. Why can't this happen to pollies?

I think it's time that pollies be accountable for their blunders and the consultants that advise on these projects should also be finned if they fail. They often get paid millions just to say it's ok, then they go off to plan another disaster without any retribution.

We must stop wasting money.

As for cat rego, I also agree with it, I was just using this as another example.

So back on topic. I remember all the crowing before and after the qld election. Where are you all now?

Try SA! The Rann Labor Government has been in so long that it is a virtual dictatorship, but the Opposition has stupidly decided to have a leadership spill tomorrow. Any party that thinks it's a good idea to change the leader less than a year from an election deserves all it gets.

Labor stinks, federally and state-wise;but the Liberals and Coalition keep shooting themselves in the foot, and it seems that we are going to be cursed with Labor for a long, long time. Except in WA, of course, we they seem to have more sense than the rest of us.
