Dear Hassie,
Labor's tenure in those states has been long, very long. We'll have to wait and see how long the Libs will get to stay in power. Queenslanders aren't too happy at the moment are they? Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 4:29:19 PM

Actually Foxy my sweet, Queenslanders are quite happy with Newman & company.
Public servants, the welfare community, & the usual bludgers in the NGOs are not too happy. Having the support of our lefty press does get these types bitches out on TV, but it is less than general. I guess they must loose some seats, many they currently hold are safe Labor normally. In fact Newman's own seat was a 7% safe Labor seat, when he was game enough to stand for it. I think he is likely to have trouble holding it, which would make things interesting. The fact that the LNP came quite close in the Rudd old seat, previously a massively safe Labor seat, indicates that the LNP is traveling pretty well. I doubt Labor fighting for the carbon tax will go well for them. As power prices rise, I expect a big backlash against that. It gives the LNP a memory jog to remind people how much they despised Gillard, & reinforce the "labor are liars" message. Posted by Hasbeen, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 10:16:17 PM

Dear Hassie,
Sorry to disappoint your take on things. The Brisbane Times has a different view to yours on what Queenslanders feel about their current state government. But you can read it here for yourself: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/brisbanes-march-in-march-attracts-thousands-20140316-34v6e.html Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 10:46:09 PM

Dear Hasbeen,
Have I been ignoring you mate? Well here I am you old dear, you have my full attention. Yes that new fangled Youtube, it's a pesky distraction ain't it, should be done away with immediately! Now have you been wandering off again? What's that about the state election in Tasmania? Yes I know, a lot to shout and hoot about, but mate we were discussing your Mr Abbott and Federal politics. When did Menzies go? Oh a while ago now my dear chap but you remember young Tony, went and got himself elected. Has he done a good job you ask? Well sadly dear fellow it seems no, thousands have marched against him and the polling shows the other mob ahead. Shall I get you your reading glasses? Here you go. “If a Federal Election were held today it would result in an ALP victory - two-party preferred support is ALP 53.5% (up 3% since the Morgan Poll of February 15/16 & 22/23, 2014) cf. L-NP 46.5% (down 3%) according to the Morgan Poll. This multi-mode Morgan Poll on voting intention was conducted over the last two weekends (March 1/2 & 8/9, 2014) with an Australia-wide cross-section of 2,903 Australian electors aged 18+.” “Analysis by Gender shows that ALP support is still strongest amongst women with the ALP (57%, up 3.5% since February 15/16 & 22/23, 2014) well ahead of the L-NP (43%, down 3.5%) on a two-party preferred basis. However, support amongst men slightly favours the L-NP 51% (down 1.5%) cf. ALP 49% (up 1.5%).” http://www.roymorgan.com/findings/5477-morgan-poll-march-11-2014-201403110445 What's that you say? Shouldn't have ever given women the vote? Tut tut Hasbeen, that horse has well and truly bolted, just have to make the best of it dear. Posted by SteeleRedux, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 10:53:45 PM

Hey Foxy sweaty, what the hell is the Brisbane Times. I live here & have never heard of it. Is it some sort of inner city propaganda sheet, or is it a weblog for labor supporters.
The feeling out of Bureaucrat land & the inner city chatterers is that he is going too slow, not the other way around. I know you can't realise just how bad Beattie & Bligh were, but think even worse than Rudd & you will start to get the idea. Steely I don't mind, I ignore most twits, you included you. Go on kidding & talking to yourself, as long as you do it quietly I promise not to disturb you. Just do be careful, when you realise you are answering yourself, it is too late, madness has complete control. Posted by Hasbeen, Thursday, 20 March 2014 5:34:50 PM

Liberals 14
Labor 6, Green?
That tells us what the people want, nothing about the clowns who spend their time watching you tube though.
I guess if you are desperate enough, you wander the street shouting, & pretend You tube statistics are more important than election results.
