We have learnt that One Nation's Rosa Lee Long's Tablelands electorate seat, has been consumed into a massive new electorate that now includes Charters Towers.
What a dilemma! Rosa Lee Long strikes me as a prejudiced know-nothing blatherer who'll say a lot without doing anything, and she's served her constituents particularly poorly in the past.
The only politician with a worse record in office is Jason O'Brien in Cook.
Wouldn't it be nice if Rosa ran against Jason next year in Cook and they both lost?
Size of an electorate doesn't matter. It is the number of electors...people, which count. The old Bjelke-Petersen Government had one of the worst gerry-mandered systems ever in Australia, where some huge country electorates totally thousands of kilometres, had a few thousand voters, whereas on the coast and around Brisbane, electorates were much smaller in size, but contained tens of thousands of electors. The imperative of a democracy is to give people equal voting power.
