It would be good to have some other force rather than those two in Qld Parlt. <br /><br />Anna & Labor are just arrogant, & NOT listening to the community. And the LNP is some weird hybrid.<br /><br />Mind you, during their presentation, there was a continuous backdrop of huge overpasses on the PowerPoint screen behind all the speakers. It didn't look very green-friendly to me, but hey, I haven't joined, & really haven't paid any attention to their policy planning etc.<br /><br />Actually, I'm just very very very weary of fighting councils, State & Fed governments & so on. Why do we have to fight all the time, even for little things?Lillian at Yorkeysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-12878131041184930822009-10-05T07:41:36.946+10:002009-10-05T07:41:36.946+10:00either that is not Bryan Law or the big feller is ...either that is not Bryan Law or the big feller is losing itGreen running dogsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-16306707215748261482009-10-04T23:51:46.232+10:002009-10-04T23:51:46.232+10:00I dunno about Bryan Law's comments re "Ql...I dunno about Bryan Law's comments re "Qld Labor currying favour with One Nation."<br />WorkChoices was John Howard's political Waterloo and the repercussions from it assisted State Labor Governments afterwards.Thaddeusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-6705589082794079962009-10-04T20:09:16.478+10:002009-10-04T20:09:16.478+10:00One Nation was a far bigger phenomenon in Queensla...One Nation was a far bigger phenomenon in Queensland than it was nationally. They knocked the Liberals for six, and created the conditions within the Nationals which make them so toxic to Malcolm Turnbull now.<br /><br />There's no doubt that Queensland Labor curried favour with One Nation, and secured a good portion of Hanson's battlers.<br /><br />Desley Boyle's campaign manager, Col McKenzie, came from One Nation and is thinking about preselection for 2012.<br /><br />A regional grouping built on dis-satisfaction with the LNP has every chance of playing the spoiler.<br /><br />I sympathise with the LNP.
