You're right that Mr Grau never declared his candidacy, but that's because he's always been a back-room kinda guy.<br /><br />As for "angry fraud", I think it was Robert Kennedy who said "don't get mad, get even". I see my task clearly. Not bad for a figment hey?Bryan Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828616096900664359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-60697348748305177852011-03-28T09:29:09.284+10:002011-03-28T09:29:09.284+10:00Tim Grau "exposed to public scrutiny by Mike ...Tim Grau "exposed to public scrutiny by Mike and Gavin". Are you for real? What exactly did they "expose"? He never declared he was running so they were WRONG on that. His past career with Wayne Goss and membership of the ALP was widely known and available by a simple Google search. Hardly "exposing" if anyone can find it that easily.<br /><br />In reality King and Moore were exposed as uninformed gossip merchants nothing more and nothing less. And you Bryan were exposed as the angry fraud that you are.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977114793909420756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-6414010571078603122011-03-28T08:54:30.159+10:002011-03-28T08:54:30.159+10:00Oh my goodness, the world-renowned political exper...Oh my goodness, the world-renowned political expert “Charlie” has reprimanded me and my Elk. The shame of it all. I should end my miserable life now.<br /><br />There’s no doubt that Mr Grau would have nominated for the seat of Cairns, and been pre-selected by the usual corporate suspects if he hadn’t been exposed to public scrutiny by Mike and Gavin. Good luck with your parenting Tim. Fathering my boy Joseph has been the best thing I’ve done in my life, and I hope you find it as richly rewarding.<br /><br />As for the ALP in FNQ, Desley Boyle, Col McKenzie, and Mike Bailey must take the lion’s share of blame for the malaise the Party finds itself in. These three have adopted the “winner takes all, screw the workers, we’re the bosses here” style of politics that has white-anted Labor, and given FNQ the bland mediocrity of MLAs like Steve Wettenhall and Jason O’Brien, along with Jan McLucas and (what was is name) Turnour. Let’s face it. Factional deals behind closed doors are the only way such poor performers could ever get a seat in Parliament.<br /><br />I’m waiting to see now whether Richie Bates will win the pre-selection for Cairns. I hope he does, and I hope he continues to work with unionists like Stuey Traill in a genuine attempt to represent the working class. After all, it’s the working class that built Labor, and the working class that’s being hammered now by the economic collapse.<br /><br />If Richiew is the candidate in Cairns, we might all succeed best by putting our efforts next year into removing Steve and Jason from the public tit.Bryan Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828616096900664359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-78683516917223049002011-03-28T08:21:19.303+10:002011-03-28T08:21:19.303+10:00Well well well some serious egg on the faces of so...Well well well some serious egg on the faces of some big loud mouths around town now. Step forward Gavin King, Bryan Law and you Mike Moore.<br /><br />From what I have seen Tim Grau never said he was running for Cairns. So he never "pulled out" as you now claim. Looks like he has played you fools like a fiddle.<br /><br />That he is so dedicate to his daughter demonstrates that he is more of a GENTLEMAN than the three of you combined.<br /><br />Sure is a lot of egg to be removed from your faces fellas.<br /><br />It also demonstrates what hopeless idle gossip merchants you all are. You cant even get the gossip right! Not a serious journalist or commentator between you.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977114793909420756noreply@blogger.com
