Our Anna was sinking out of sight in the polls, until the floods, & the cyclones threw her a life line. Give her her due, she's a quick study, & remembers her lines well. She & the lord mayor acquitted themselves well.

So her stint as stand in news reader, & weather girl went well, giving her a huge surge in the polls. But then she reverts to type, & has to stuff it all.

First she decides to roll in the glory & goes swanning [sorry I couldn't resist], of to Cairns, announcing she will govern from there for a week. Pity someone offered her a glamor shoot for some women's mag, it showed where her real interests are.

But it gets worse. She has to revisit the glory with a visit to the Lockyer valley, & we see that too many photo opportunities get in the way of real work.

Weeks after the event, none of those all the donations were meant for have been helped. What is it with Labor & money.

It appears Anna has given the money to a couple of bureaucrats, & they are busy playing monopoly, rather than distributing the cash where it's needed.

Just once I would love these people to prove me wrong in my assessment of their value.

Yep, and some $30 million Dollars worth of contracts rebuilding cyclone battered Tully & Cardwell are apparently (Cairns Post article) going to a Sydney company whilst Cairns Businesses are reeling for lack of work.

Is this simply the result you get from a tendering process Individual. The Sydney Firms simply winning that tender. Doesn't seem right does it.
Buts Gov'ts of any colour seem to take the economically expedient direction.

As for the "true to form stuff" regarding Anna Bligh Hasbeen, it's a bit hard to understand what you mean when you claim this, if your not a Queenslander. From here down south it's also hard to imagine what the floods did to Qld, but I'm sure it will take time to repair.

It is probably too complicated for a instrument like Gov't to kill two birds with one stone and employ local businesses regardless anyway Individual, but it would have seemed appropriate to me.

One thing I do know from your posts is that Anna Bligh certainly does have some vitriolic dissenters in her state.

anna blight is a sock puppet for special intests
[you need to be just to get party nomination]
ANY PARTY*

the so called floods in brisie
were the direct result of greed

[hoarding water in a flood dam
then letting it go at the wrong ..WORST time]

she is rightfully held to account...[not*]
65 billion in debt..and what to show for that?

just as gloss or beatup beaty wernt held to account
just as the flo and joe show wasnt held to account
they all serve the same moneyed intrests

contol everything from the Hinzze rum corps
to the kangeroo court system

form bank accounts
[then keep the intrest earned on it]

privatise water..then index inflation
and has just indexed public transport costs
15%..[abouve inflation..compounding for 3 years...

[thats the same deal the smokers got federally
only theirs is 25% abouve inflation..compounding for ever]

ya gotta love this female caucus
that holds court in the womens rooms
toil-lets

bah
send those who do treason to jail
why dont the miners pay proper rates of royalies
how come we need to put in pipes linked to 40,000
methane leaking gas wells...

draining the great artesian basin's waters
for santos to export their coal seam gas..
or fire gas turbine power at special rates..
much the same as the solar top-up tarrif

or half a billion
to not build a magnesium plant in gladstone

its scams ..all round
abouve and under ground

once you know ..there is a thief
when things go missing..

first find the thief ..in chief
their ongoing gall.. is clearly beyond belief

DO you think they would be going to Sydney if O’Farrell was in power; it is payback to the contractors that the Labor Right is sharing bodily fluids with, and that is a fact.
