I'd like to thank the LNP signs that suggest that I'm too stupid to work out how to number 4 boxes and instead should just write a '1' in theirs. Last minute polling apparently suggests a massive swing towards the ALP but that the LNP will win enough seats, but Herr Neumann could lose his own seat. https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/26161824/lnp-tipped-to-hold-onto-power/ There are those though that suggest that he may choose to remain as Premiere and force a by election somewhere by asking a winning LNP member to resign their seat.
Look, as long as the goose loses his seat I think people will be satisfied. Conservative leaders around the country seem level headed but Abbott and Newman, the most sly and sleazy politicians the country has seen.
Newmann has conceded his own seat. Good bye wanker. It's looking like there's a massive swing to the ALP and that they will most likely get a majority of seats.
It's really interesting. If Labor gets to form government - outright or with support from the cross-benches - they need to remember Rudd. Even though I don't live in Qld I fervently hope that Labor forms government and heeds the mistakes of the very recent past. I can't help feeling though that some entitled bastard in her cabinet will look at Anastasia and call her "the accidental Premier" (if Labor gets government I mean). That would mean one term and back to the LNP.
The only reason Anastasia lead Labor in the election is because the Labor bosses thought Labor didn't have a chance. If Anastasia becomes premeir she won't last 6 months before she gets stabbed in the back by a bigger Labor heavy weight. I can't believe the LNP didn't learn the lessons the electorate handed out to Labor at the previous election.
Here we go, we have the sour grapes brigade lining up to have their little dig. She is obviously a smart person that has turned around an unprecedented margin, exposing LNP lies about the economy, employment etc! The only lesson the LNP need to learn is to stop lying and govern for everyone!
You clearly don't know the meaning of 'sour grapes'. Go and have a look at your responses to Labors loss at the last federal election. Labor exposed nothing, they and the unions ran their usual campaign of sensational lies, personality politics and character assassination. The electorate sent a clear message to Labor in 2012, the LNP didn't heed it.
Pleasssse....lol! We all knew what the outcome was going to be with Abbott and I think you'll find that many of us were spot on back then. You are simply speculating negatively because of your propensity to support anything right.
Its easy to believe WHY people in Europe call Australians dumb and backward after the Queensland election. Considering, they just elected the same politicial party they chucked out of office just 3 years earlier.
AND their leader is too dumb to know the current GST rate....I would have thought that everyone in Australia would know that...aah well...
You vote in clowns, you get clowns - simple as that. You get what you vote for. Europeans know this, but it will take dumbasre backward Australians a few more decades to wake up.
Thats why I found the QLD election result quite staggering...I thought Newman would lose his seat as I dont think anyone likes the little nazi here in qld...I thought a swing against LNP due to the leasing of assets...but now we've got the same mob we punted last time...and they were selling assets.....!!!...unbelievable...Abbott will go next.... I just think that everyone hates politicians....they're on the nose...no matter what party they represent..... Australian politics is broke and no-one knows how to fix it....
Not really that smart. She is the daughter of a high ranking ALP member who got lots of degree's and took her daddies seat when he retired. She has done nothing in the real world, and knows nothing except ALPing. They took nothing of value to the election about actual governance. I hate to break it to some of you folk, but the only time the ALP ever really gets voted in is on a protest vote. The ALP actually do a terrible job at government because they have no real political heart... the only heart in the ALP is unionism and related bullying tactics - especially in QLD. I've never seen Newman happier then when he lost. I could tell he'd lost interest, as all he'd wanted to do was make QLD stronger. He has spent many years trying to do the right thing and no-one deserves the mindless hatred the ALP and Union's drum up for their desperate grasp at power. As I said last week, the media in QLD has been pupetting the ALP and Union press releases as 'news' for the whole time the LNP was in power. I think the media has lost what 'news' means..... but more disheartening is they do not do the same for the LNP - which directly points to media bias at the reporter and story writer level. For some reason the media and many voters are too stupid to understand that the job is not to be popular, but to run the state government properly. Shallow slogan's always win over QLDers for some reason..... but the media only gives them one side. If the ALP get in, with no plan they will do what they always do, debt, and if take on huge amounts of debt again on top of their debt from the Beattie/Bligh nightmare, then they might not be selling the assets like they claim (really their only platform for reelection), but instead and much worse, they are selling off the whole damn state to the banks.
It ain't over just yet. If the Labor do not rescind its promise to the Greens to implement their livestock management policy and we end up 43 all, KAP will back the new LNP leadership. We all know what that means.
As it stands there be enough non LNP in the new Parliament to find out if Campbell's Minister gave the Court permission to hear the Extortion charges against Bikers. Ministers Court permission to hear Extortion Charge against Registrar of SPER was NO! Perhaps the non LNP could find out what favour changed hands for that to happen!
"The only time Labor gets voted in is because of a protest vote"! Lol. This is an absurd statement. The rest is nonsensical blathering that doesn't require a response.
I think he is right actually. They vote ALP protesting the criminal and incompetent actions of the LNP. Like we will at the next election. Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again.Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again.Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again.Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again.Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again.Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again.Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again.Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again.Then, when the Libs can find another leader, they will get Rupert to put forward their next case dream up some disaster that only they can save Australia from, promise us all $10 or $15 dollars a week and enough greedy people will vote the gaggle back in, then when they screw up, we will do another protest vote, voting the ALP back in to straighten things out again. Ad infinitum WE NEED SOMETHING NEW
The LNP was voted in because so many ALP supporters cast a protest vote without realising that everyone else would be doing so.
Palmers pay back to the QLD people is to put a liar up as a candidate, so that the election be held twice. You can fool the people, you cant fool the QEC!
