I’ve published a piece on the contest in three key seats on Brisbane’s northern outskirts – Petrie, Dickson and Longman – at the ABC’s Campaign Diary blog.
In the post, I also have some observations to make about the Kevin Rudd factor in Queensland, and the Cabinet leaks.
Mark, it would be very satisfying to see Peter Dutton go down.
I’ve just had a flier from Jan Prentice as to what she’d do if elected in Ryan. She seems to think she’s still in local government.
Mark, can you expand on your comment about Dickson looking bad for Dutton? Personally, I can’t for the life of me understand why any thinking voter would support a candidate who deserted his seat for greener pastures and then came back and asked for forgiveness when all else failed. But Dennis Atkins thinks that people have ‘got over’ that now. He can’t be serious. In any case, my loudest cheers on election night will be for his downfall.
