The article doesn’t consider possibly the most likely scenario: The stupid LNP stuffs it up!
Go Anna! 🙂
Maybe if the LNP win we’ll get an inquiry into the government overreach during covid and some trials and convictions.
I crack myself up sometimes.
It’s telling that she is still more popular than the little kid.
Get ready for Mental Midget Miles.
He has a PhD in trade unions.
Literally.
It will be a relief to see the back of her.
As for the deputy – it’s uncharitable but I always picture him as a toddler complete with dull, slow-witted expression; it just never left him.
Last Sunday, Go Anna was simply marvelous in the spirit of political opportunism. She saw the Matildos bandwagon. Made a beeline for it, elbowing out anyone in the way.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Get the rotisserie ready.
I actually have a bit of sympathy for Ms Palaszczuk: she has spent seven years in a minority right faction being constantly undermined by the dominant left faction in the Qld ALP. And I have had a lot to do with her father and he is old Labor and a top bloke.
The only reason she hasn’t been toppled before this is Steven Miles. The left want to stay in control of government more than they want the Premier role.
At least he’s a thug.
But today’s Labor right is pretty far left. They’re not exactly Brian Harradine.
Plus, I can’t respect a woman who gives way to extremism as much as Palaszczuk does just to hold on to the premiership.
If miles gets the top job, it makes danistan appealing

There’s a sickness sweeping the West with all our governments.
I don’t think it can be excised by the ballot box
CL I would argue the QALP right are to the right of many liberal party parliamentarians these days.
Qld AEC will fix it.
A ‘tick’ to the left followed by a right cross.
Whoever might happen to “win” next years Qld elections, the parasites will still be there feeding on and destroying the host.
I see Tim Mander appearing on TV on certain Qld issues. The LNP would be smart to put him in as leader. Then again, they were stupid enough to shaft Springborg who is apparently very popular and doing a good job as mayor of Goondiwindi.
the Borg never got a fair go by the media. And yes doing an exceptional job as Goondiwindi Mayor.
Always very personable and great to talk to. The most telling though, is when he was Health Minister he actually improved health outcomes and QH operations in three short years, only to see it rapidly go backwards to our current problems under Miles.
Eyrie and Entropy,
I could never understand why they dumped Springborg. Maybe he was too country for them?
He seemed like a decent man and would have made a good Premier.
He seemed like a decent man and would have made a good Premier.
That’s your reason just there – those types are not amenable to the ways of the political class.
I can’t see anyone in the LNP that stands out. Chrisifulli seemed ok till he was elected leader then he disappeared from view. Bit like Freckless. Going to be KAP again for me next year, Nick Dametto is my local member & has been making some noise lately about degraded local infrastructure.
Mander. No thanks, he helped push through plenty of nanny state initiatives in his time. One being the smoke alarm over-reaction after a bunch of PI’s burnt a house down with deaths after disconnecting theirs, now your house has to be wired up like a hostel if rented out.
As for the Borg, Beattie had the CM round his little finger. The publications in the north like the Townsville Bulletin & Cairns Post still have a heavy ALP list. The Borg never had a chance, especially with the corruption oozing out of Beattie/Bligh’s Government which they just turned a blind eye to.
Best gotcha story I saw just before the election in 2009 was Cairns Post beating up the LNP allegedly running out on a restaurant before the bill was paid. Truth was the two last members of the party thought the other had paid the bill, both were intercepted before they even stepped foot in their taxis. Both apologetic returned from the footpath & settled the bill. The CP had made out they had done the runner and left out one of the waitresses was an ALP member from rumours up in the north.
Chrisifulli will get over the line by default by the looks rather than being a strong leader. I don’t have high hopes he will accomplish anything. Newman for all his faults had much more presence.
The Qld LNP also voted for the plastic bag ban. Idiots.
He is indeed a decent person – and competent.
Unfortunately not the man for his times; essentially unsupported by the urban Liberals in the dying years of the Coalit and then the LNP (ironically, Springborg’s own creation) was “energised” and “professionalised” by an influx of Canbra-trained, 20-something Masters of the Universe – with the centralisation of political power in Meanjin.
The net result was a good man repeatedly replaced or displaced by a series of empty suits – and a whole bunch of energised, professional Party members headed for the door.
Back on topic, Paul Williams (who has excellent antennae) predicts that the Palacechook will come back from her overseas hols to be tapped on the shoulder by John Battams and Gary Bullock – leading to an “I’ve given all I can, now time for the next generation…” – paving the way for Miles/Fentiman to lead Labor to the 2024 election.
And the lifetime rewards for Labor Hero(ines) who do the right thing.
Don’t worry, the LNP will again manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory even with the moronic Miles running the State.
David Crisafulli doesn’t believe in anything except being a Nice Liberal.
He’ll probably win the next election, continue to ban conservatism, cause ructions in the bush and among urban cons who actually want to reform things, his leadership will be destabilised, he’ll be replaced and then the media will spring Labor from Coventry and plonk them back into office.
A positive thing one can say about David Crisafulli is that he has stopped Tim Nicholls from being recycled.
I know nothing about Miles, but as for Fentiman, good Lord!
She doesn’t even know what a woman is.
A well-matched pair.
Each makes the other look better than they actually are.
The Borg was an obnoxious pig when dealing with Queensland health staff. Really stubborn and thus quite detrimental to the party. Seriously, who thinks attacking QLD health staff was a good idea? A great way to lose a huge majority and ultimately doom us to more years of ALP scum. Him and Newman are probably best at a mayoral level only.
The Borg got health actually delivering in a timely fashion, so whinge all you like Petros, he did a good job.
And unlike the narrative of sucked public servants, the real story of losing the election was optional first preferences and Clive Palmer.
His trouble as leader is because he was a stiff as a fence post and has a deep nasal twang.
As always, the divide is between Brisbane slickers with their traffic-choked, car-exhaust-rotted brains….further addilpated by recently, mRNA-induced, vascular dementia…vs clean-living high-IQ country bumpkins…..
Qld has been getting it wrong ever since they lost Joh as boss-hog…and THAT is indisputable.
Proof positive: whilst Anastacia and her clowns got a 4% swing toward them at the 2020 election, they suffered all, and several, LARGE reversals in the boonies,…11% in my electorate, and 3% in the next electorate down. This means that while you CAN fool the average city coward voter all of the time, there is NOT a sucker born every minute out bush.
The sooner NQ breaks away from Qld and Oz (ie the WEF) the better!
