Feeling secure Julia?

I’m a bit disappointed that CanDo let the ALP keep 7 seats but with a by-election in the offering, with Anna finally getting the message and resigning, it could be only six seats soon. In my humble opinion, Labor’s problem is it’s selection of candidates. Too many are from the ALP political class. Look at Kate from Ashgrove – Arts degree…David Hammill’s office…Rob Schwarten’s office…joined Labor Unity Faction…elected! She has been a prisoner of the Labor Party all her adult life and has little experience outside it. How do you help people in the real world when you have never been there? On the whole, they are union officials, ministerial and parliamentary staffs and party employees leaving a dirth of ‘real world’ experience from which to draw policy. Even those from the unions are more likely to have worked as a union rep rather than in the industry the specific union represents. Federal ALP will be shitting themselves. The ALP/Left spin machines will be flat out denying the Queensland election has any federal connections but at the very least it underlines what can happen to a largely incompetent government. I don’t see much difference between the Queensland and federal ALP. Both ALP Leaders are guilty of saying one thing to get elected and then almost immediately do the opposite, Both ALP governments have run the economy into the ground leaving billions in debt, MPs from both ALP governments are largely from the political class and have little experience in business, farming or mining and it shows. Both leaders, and most ministers, are, or in Anna’s case have been, guilty of attacking the man, Campbell and Abbott, and they badly underestimate both. The federal ALP can deny any connections between the Queensland and federal spheres till the cows come home but if they all haven’t had their uh-uh thoughts then they are in for a big, big surprise come federal election day. Altogether a good result and no, I don’t care that we wont have a workable opposition. The ALP deserved to be gutted for what they have done to the state. Now to continue working towards a similar result in Canberra.
