She has sold out unions big time and has become arrogant and power obsessed. I am a unionist and have never ever voted conservative. I am in the teachers' union and Bligh does not understand the high level of contempt teachers have for her government. Teachers generally vote ALP but I detect a massive swing away from them. Public service anger cost Goss. It will also cost Bligh. I will vote any way I need to to get rid of the Bligh government, LNP if need be. She is selling assets, banning teachers from striking and abusing unions. She has alienated so many and people will not forget. Bligh has to go.

The Premier and Chief Judge take bribes. Premier Bligh now has over 100,000 people locked up in her mental hospital jails without trial or even a fair hearing. Property Developers and other businesses only have to pay and Premier Bligh, through the Mental Health Act, sends the Police out to arrest people and lock them in her mental jails. Then through the appointment of an administrator their property is sold to the greedy property developer at bargain basement prices. Political activists and people aggrieved by injustices are being removed from society and disappeared this way too. Where someone is High Profile the alternative option of the Courts are used. The property is seized using the corrupt legal system and the victim is made to look like a criminal in the media. Court costs and legal fees does this job well for the Premier and her corrupt bunch of cronies. How corrupt is Queensland?

Wellington wasn't elected until 1998. Goss survived for six months with a bare majority until the courts ordered a re-election in Mundingburra, on account of some votes from soldiers serving in Somalia weren't counted. Frank Tanti won the re-election for the Liberal Party. Liz Cunningham then had the balance of power and decided for Borbidge. The Borbidge government decided on the widening of the Pacific Highway.

Only then did it show how pathetically weak and inept it really was by caving in to the green bobby in Redlands, a seat that had lost anyway, and abandoning the "Koala Track" in favour of the disasterous widening of the existing Pacific Highway link between the Gold Coast and Brisbane. One stupid decision then followed on another. The PSMC "reforms" under the genius of Rudd, Coldrake and Forster (more recently of the QH Inquiry)will go down in the annals of politics as the greatest stuff up of the century. Now we have a PS that can be 100% politicised by any new government immediately it comes to power. No need to wait around for senior PS people to resign from some gullarg at Petrie Terrace. Halleluah comrades, brothers and sisters! Labor can stay in government FOREVER in Queensland and the voters wouldn't even notice the difference.

as has been pointed out the charges are not about illegal importation but unlawful abortion – according to the qld criminal code abortion is only lawful if it is to save the mother’s life.

Brisbane is closer to Launceston than it is to significant parts of Qld. My northern NSW rellies come to Qld for serious medical treatment becuase everything north of coffs harbour is closer to brisbane than it is to sydney. On the same theme, NSW is still stuffed even though people from large tracts of the state go to Adelaide, Melbourne or Brisbane if they need capital city type services. An upper house might protect us from the worst excesses of single house parliaments provided it uses a Senate style proportional preference system but you've got be joking if you think a house of Mayors would provide protection.
