With news of Howard's plan to introduce legislation to refund Councils' expenses to run local referendums and also overturn any State fines imposed by Beattie, it makes for a huge election stunt on behalf of the Libs.
While I'm a staunch believer in allowing a democratic voice, on this occasion both are wrong.
Beattie was elected. His government (ours) has made these changes. A lot have felt that he hasn't consulted over this, and you'd be correct in that.
However, when I hear Howard jump on the bandwagon to "stand up for Queenslanders", let's not forget he hardly consulted you when deciding on issues like GST; going to war; staying in Iraq; Workchoices; banning same-sex equality; David Hicks; the Children overboard fiasco; climate change initiatives... the list goes on and on.
Come on, tell me the rest he's done without asking for your opinion...
So, who ya gunna believe more?
