Ghosts of social media past, a very modern political problem

There has been a conga line of candidates who have been disendorsed or quit in recent days – and more to come I’d say – all due to comments they have made on social media.

Over $4m reasons why PM Turnbull won’t countenance RC into Banking & Finance

Actually that is a rough estimate of the money donated to the Coalition at the last election by the banks and Finance sector, in reality, taking into account sketchy Foundations and the obscure naming of entities, is probably a lot more. Forget the ‘narrative’ we are hearing on [...]

#Qldpol is a mess & it is power hungry politicians at fault

With all the screams of “chaos”, “Queensland Government could fall”, “When did Premier know”, etc . etc. What everyone, including the media seem to forget is that there are real people behind the headlines? Billy Gordon, the member for Cook, is a ‘person’, his ex partner, who the Qld [...]

Reef, Asset Sales, Sackings... Are not the biggest issues for #QldVotes

None of the above are the real issue or should be in this particular election. In fact, in my opinion, regardless of whether it is a decade ago or a decade into the future with different issues being “OMG this election is a referendum on...” it isn’t.

Qld LNP will win #QldVotes. Why is this so?

A recurring theme has been, why are the LNP favoured to win the Qld Election when there has been so many broken promises, poor MP behaviour, some would say corrupt decisions and Queensland’s economy is worse than when they took Government? Or shorter: “How Stupid Are Queenslanders?”

Unions vs Big Business - #QldVotes a quick & dirty guide to politics Queensland style

In Queensland both these groups have been fundamental politically, more so than usual. You are all thinking, “of course Unions & Big Business play major roles in the big two political parties” and you are right, though in Queensland in the last two years, this dynamic has been on steroids.

The LNP vs The ALP - #QldVotes a quick & dirty guide to politics Queensland style

Ok, the busy Christmas period is over and nothing much is happening Federally so the Queensland election being announced yesterday (06 Jan 2015) had Twitter falling over itself with a new election to play with. However, it has become apparent that even though many are obviously aware that we are [...]
