Paul 1405 you, without understanding why, highlight why the Greens are destroyers of Democracy.
You sling at me your barb less arrows and at my party as sell outs.
But in truth it is was and all ways will be those who creeped away to the Greens who betray working Australians.
The Doc Evate Aurthur Caldwell ALP leaderships, nearly killed my party, one as attractive to voters as a road kill cane toad.
The other determined to have policy's no one else wanted.
COMPROMISE
The fact is a government must do that,and to be a good government,a Long term government, it must represent the majority.
Greens never can do either.
It is true, more than air this country must confront in federal Parliament greens do more damage than good.
Last night you saw your team told in capital letters, at the lowest point in Labor, your opponents, history , you are unwanted.
So dream your dreams of victory, they are only dreams, kick the only party that can beat conservatives, support black mail by greens but know the future is black for your team, that makes me feel good.
Post scipt, Gillard if she continues to lead after this has no loyalty to the ALP.
An illness could well be found to let her down lightly, say a Ministers role to lessen the symptoms and Bill Shorten to the rescue.

Belly,
In my last post I said, "This week Shorten tries to tell us that the Miners tax will pay for increase in workers comp. Knows that workers comp is paid for by employers and employees. That is outright deceit".

My error, sorry! This should read 'Workers super' in both places, NOT workers comp.

All Labor supporters should read the readers comments in todays Qld papers and take in what they say. These are the comments of the common people, the ones that vote. Just disregard the nasty ones and take in the constructive ones.

Interesting that even the mad Katter got many more votes than the Greens. Hopefully people have woken up to the fact that Green policy is debauchery and very bad for the country.

I'll leave all the dissection and analysis
of the Queensland election results to the
experts simply because I'm not familiar
with the politics - not living in the state.
I'm not familiar with state issues. What mistakes
were made - we can only hope that politicians
will take note and whatever the message from
voters - lets trust that it will be heard.

How much things will change and whether it is
for the better - only time will tell.

An opportunity has been given for Queensland to
start afresh - and try to transform things -
hopefully for the better. Labor should also,
as posters have suggested - try a new and
fresh approach.

Question Time in Federal Parliament should prove
to be interesting.

Belly, "An illness could well be found to let her down lightly, say a Ministers role to lessen the symptoms and Bill Shorten to the rescue."

I have to take you to task for that. The Qld Labor party has just been resoundingly booted out of office in part because people are sick of the lies and spin. Gillard and federal Labor are on the nose in part for the same reasons and your solution involves yet more lies and spin.

Far better if they turned over a new leaf and dealt with it honestly rather than yet another lie. They could try a bold experiment and kick her out and start telling the truth, be interesting to see how long Abbott lasted against that.

I'd also note that from what I can see most of those Labor members who did retain their seats did so on Greens preferences. You might also like to have a think about your comments about preferential voting in a thread started while CJ was still with us then have a think about what would be left of Labor in Qld without that same preferential voting. I suspect that car pooling would be out of question, a scooter would cover it.

Sarcastic remarks are strong in this thread - akin to 'individual's nastiness', sad.

We are experiencing a 'nasty' age in politics - borne in some tea-party room.
