Anna Bligh furious

QUEENSLAND PREMIER Anna Bligh has labelled the National Party racist after the state opposition refused to support an apology to the stolen generations made by state parliament nine years ago.

As the nation stopped for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s speech, Queensland Parliament descended into furious debate when Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg said the state government should apologise to Aborigines for failing to make inroads into indigenous issues. The opposition also used question time to attack the government on its record on issues such as child safety, including the gang rape of an 10-year-old girl in Aurukun, indigenous infant mortality rates, education and alcoholism.

Left wing Anna doesn’t disappoint – whenever you question a lefty they retort with personal attacks. They never, ever answer the question. I guess I’d be furious too if some inconvenient MP pointed out the obvious truth that Queensland apologised to the Aborigines nine years ago and if anything, their situation is worse post-apology than it was before. Particularly when it was done on the day that the Country was all a flutter about an apology from Canberra.

“What followed this morning was the most graceless and mealy-mouthed excuse to avoid the issue,” Ms Bligh said. “There was an opportunity there to rectify the failure of 1999 and it was comprehensively missed.”

Right, so what she is saying is;

The 1999 apology has failed so what we will do is exactly the same and you’re a racist for not complying.

Makes sense in a lefty sort of way. Bloody Nationals, they demanded actions instead of words – how racist is that.
