It isn't very prudent to make predictions in the
political arena. Things can change very quickly.
Regarding the carbon tax? It's not easy to
get rid of something that has been legislated
and up and running. Promises were made to get rid
of the GST - after it was passed, and up and running.
It never happened and is still with us today. Scare
tactics did n't work with the GST - and I very much
doubt whether it will work with the carbon tax - once
people realise that it's not the disaster that it's
being painted to be by the Coalition.

Before people gloat too heavily on Labor's Queensland
demise - it's best to take a few lessons from history.
Both parties have suffered their fair share of wins
and losses - and in politics the tide comes in and the
tide goes out. And much can yet happen - before the
next Federal election. Especially, as I mentioned earlier
the Liberal states - NSW, Victoria, and now Queensland -
don't come up to people's expectations.

The LNP is the party of the developers.

Incompetence has been replaced by greed.

Paul,
A few years back I took the trouble to look at all of the Greens policies. There was nothing practical in them, it was fairyland stuff. Things like lowering the age of consent, legalising all drugs, doing away with Aus defence, training people in passive resistance for our defence (lay down and let tanks run over you), just to name a few. Now they have been rewritten, not changed but written so they can mean whatever the reader wishes. Clever but deceitfull.

Belly,
I hope you realise that Labor promoted the Greens by doing preference swaps with them as they saw them as usefull idiots. This allowed the Greens to get the numbers for the Senate seats. Your party encouraged the Greens.

Labor is gone at next election, Shorten cannot save them. Why crucify him? Rudd is the only one with a big enough ego to think he will be the new messiah. But he too would fail. The rot is set in.

People see Labor as false, boat people, carbon tax, NBN,global warming and the miners tax. They have shown themselves to be spendthrifts and incompedent managers. Voters are fed up with the lies, spin and deceit. And all the stuff ups.

But it is good that they stick to their ways as that just ensures their demise.

Yep, the baseball bats are being cleaned & oiled, ready for Julia & her lying bunch of idiots.

Oh, & don't worry you greens, there will be plenty to go round, so you'll get your share. World government indeed.

I see Beattie is still just as stupid as he was when he destroyed the Qld economy. Well stupid, or he really does want Labor destroyed.

Can you imagine anything as stupid as having more of Gillard in QLD. Every time she appears on TV, another hundred or 2 labor supporters switch sides. The only chance they have to get anything back is to sit on her head, & never let a picture of her be seen, or her voice be heard.

Yes I know she is not all that photogenic from behind, but the only picture of her any of us want to see, is that of her walking away from the lodge, suitcase in hand.

With Anna Beattie threw her a sucker pass, & we were kind for quite a while. With the red head, she did it all her self, & the baseball bats have been waiting ever since that big lie.

Yep Bleigh was just a practice swing, the real swing with feeling is still waiting. To her offsiders, you let her do it, or even aided her, so you are for it every bit as much as your Qld colleges.

Could we really do it right, & have just a mini bus load of Labor types in federal parliament? What a delicious thought.

<< The LNP is the party of the developers. Incompetence has been replaced by greed. >>

Yes, something like that, david f.

Labor had a slight sense of sustainability. Bligh did make some efforts to deal with the enormous problem of population pressure in southeast Queensland, albeit to no avail, as I express here:

I can't imagine that we'll see anything of the sort from Can-do (soon to be known as Can’t-do?) Campbell Newman.

Banjo: I would like to comment on your Liberal Party policies but I can't find them. Can you please direct me to them? A few years ago your party, the conservatives, opposed windows pensions and the building of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, is that still still your policy, how far do you want to go back?
