Ah...a return to the good old days of the "White Shoe Brigade".

When Clive starts ripping up the Darling Downs for a massive new mine and they decide that there is oil in "them thar reefs" and open up the Great Barrier Reef for a bit of exploration won't the Queenslanders whinge.

Of course with total domination of parliament and no upper house of review there will be no stopping them.

Good luck QLD! I plan to move my business there as all checks and balances will be "off the agenda"...good times for all! Companies that is and screw the workers.

You still don’t get it, Shadow.

Or, perhaps you do and now want to change the subject, goal posts and playing field.

You said, as did Abbott … that the Queensland election will be a referendum on the carbon tax.

It was NOT.

Abbott wriggled, side-stepped and squirmed to say it wasn’t, after the event.

At least he had the guts to squirm.

You? You are ‘doing an Abbott’ here on this thread – wriggling, side-stepping and squirming as well.

Homework, Bart Simpson style - the Queensland election was NOT a referendum on the carbon tax.

ce qu'il fallait démontrer

Lexi,

Are you telling us that Newspoll that has built its reputation on being the most accurate polling organisation in the country, that has almost without exception been within 1% of election results for many years, is suddenly biasing its polls to make labor look bad?

You are clearly in denial.

Federal labor is in a deep hole, and if they want to get out in 18 months, the first thing to do is stop digging.

BM,

Read my first post again. Then try and tell me where I said that the election was literally a referendum on the carbon tax.

If you deliberately misinterpret what I say then attack the misinterpretation, then don't expect to be taken seriously.

Bonmot, sometimes you make such a prat of yourself. Sorry, not just sometimes!

Courier Mail, February 24:

“Today though, we’re here to once again comment, both of us here, about the pervasive and negative impacts of a carbon tax on Queensland. It’s twelve months today that Julia Gillard and her colleagues, with the Greens, went out into the courtyard at Parliament House and showed that they had misled, in fact lied to the people of Australia. The carbon tax is bad for Queensland. It’s bad for jobs. Frankly, if the carbon tax is introduced it will make it even harder for us to achieve our four per cent target. But that’s why I’m here today, to say that we will fight every single day, if we’re elected, as the Government of Queensland, to fight against this tax; that even if the tax is introduced, we will work with Tony Abbott and state premiers to fight the tax still.

We hope that Queenslanders will see the opportunity in this election campaign, but particularly on the 24th of March, to send a signal to Labor – who are so caught up in their own activities and their battles at the moment - send a signal to Canberra, to Labor that you don’t want the carbon tax and that’s why people have on the 24th of March an opportunity to actually send that signal to vote against a carbon tax".

In QLD we were asked to vote on the Carbon Dioxide Tax at the State election and we jolly well did. If you don’t like the way we voted, tough.

How’s the “rake handle” that just smacked you in the gob?

bonmot says;

“I’mm ncaan’t nmm ammsnster nnyour quentsionnn, ‘coss I got ammnnn, rake hammnnndle up my mmnnose!”

Sorry bonmot, we can’t hear you, what did you just say?
