Let’s look at the absolutely shit takes we have seen during the #QldVotes campaign, and, they keep coming post campaign too LOL! I’m a political junkie and happy to admit it. Unlike many political junkies, I’m not a rusted on supporter of any political party.

Ok, this one has been building for a while... *Picks up the Mic* Yes, I despise what the Courier Mail has done recently. The repulsive LNP cheerleading front pages and fear mongering is not only reprehensible but irresponsible in a democratic society. Of course this is only the most recent in a [...]

A funny thing happened on the weekend, Queenslanders ignored historical convention, a shipload of advertising and the wishes of the Courier Mail to say, “Yeah, no... Don’t think so Campbell”.

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?”

The #ImWithStupid drama typifies how ludicrous #QldVotes is.

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 [...]

It’s on! Queensland will be heading to the polls on the 31st of January 2015. Now, we all expected an election this year, though considering it did not have to be held until no later than 20 June 2015, we did not expect it quite this early.

Queensland, unlike other states in this country does not have an upper house such as a Senate, this is called a ‘Unicameral Legislature’, again, a terminology I have found in recent times, is unknown by many in this state. The Australian Labor Party actually abolished our ‘Queensland Legislative [...]

OK I am calling it! The pay rises for Queensland Government politicians is bullshit! I understand that politicians need a decent pay. What I don’t understand after watching the news & reading papers around the traps how over recent years we keep hearing these comparisons to “commensurate remu [...]
