The only imperative of government is to have a surplus, just like a corporation according to the LNP. So the LNP want us to have a population under-educated and in ill health, the State with no assets, and all previously public utilities and services owned by overseas corporations with multi million dollar salaried CEOs and foreign shareholders screaming for higher dividends. People will die, children starve to death on the streets, but hey, the State will have a "surplus budget". The State in fact will lose its sovereignity as more and more foreign ownership takes over.

We are only one of a few countries to have that coveted AAA credit rating, and our level of debt is very small compared to most other countries. We have a low inflation rate and low interest rate. We also are seeing a growth economy. Gillard has had enormous difficulties confronting her, not the least of which is a hostile media machine. All up I am impressed with her strength and her dignity under pressure.<br />Gillard is good Prime Minister material. However I believe the Murdoch media will create a shitstorm around some over sensationalised scandal just before the election. Im guessing it will be one manufactured simply to fire up the voters emotions just before they go down and vote, so that they cast an emotional rather than considered vote. I have no doubts this is going to happen and Gillard and Labor will be tossed out. Our country is at the mercy of the Murdoch media machine and Queenslanders, half our State's voting population have demonstrated what can happen.Observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-77371892738971883872013-06-07T08:26:24.727+10:002013-06-07T08:26:24.727+10:00Hoooray for the Guardian!!

I very much doubt Abbott would risk the ire of the Indonesians in using the Australian Navy to force the overloaded and often unseaworthy boats back into Indonesian waters, but then again, flushed with electoral success and backed by the Murdoch media, he could be just reckless enough to try and do it. We would therefore see an angry and hostile Indonesian Government and history tells us the Indonesians are very touchy. It is doubtful that Abbott ("Shit happens!") would possess the diplomacy skills necessary to defuse rising tensions either. Looking at Asia as a whole, I can't see "turning the boats back" receiving much support there either. <br /> Bob R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-81856277512424790772013-06-06T18:33:09.344+10:002013-06-06T18:33:09.344+10:00Yeah Crystal ball sounds just like the Cairns Post...Yeah Crystal ball sounds just like the Cairns Post.

In the 2012 election Queenslanders gave the LNP 49.7% of the primary vote, so if you reckon there is going to be a swing of 15% against them next election, and a swing of 6% to the ALP, then quite a few LNP seats would fall to the ALP other than the three you mentioned. I agree however with the points you made, Queensland will be a very different place after several years of the Newman Government. Life will become very hard for a good proportion of Queenslanders.

'THE CAIRNS POST'...FROM CRYSTAL BALL-GAZER<br /><br />'THE CAIRNS POST' 14 SEPT 2016<br /><br />RESOUNDING VICTORY FOR QUEENSLAND LNP<br />by Dimman Puppy<br /><br />Campbell Newman has claimed victory in Saturday's election and announced the voters of Queensland have given their unqualified and overwhelming approval for the complete privatisation of the State's hospitals and schools.<br /><br />Speaking from his electorate office on the Gold Coast, Newman said Queenslanders had demonstrated they wanted a new era in the way previously government funded services such as health and education were administered. "We now have a full mandate to privatise all our schools," Mr Newman said, "and we intend to do so without delay."<br /><br />When questioned about the deaths of many Queenslanders turned away from the private hositals because of inability to pay, Mr Newman said it was "unfortunate" but that previous Labor Governments had instilled in many people the belief that health care was a right and not a privilege. "We are fighting that same silly outdated idea now with education," the Premier said. "However Queenslanders have now given us a clear, unobstructed mandate to go ahead. It's full steam ahead!"<br /><br />The results of Queensland's election which was held four years after the last election, saw the LNP returned with an overall vote of 34% of first preferences. A breakdown of voting revealed:<br /><br />LNP = 34%<br />ALP = 32%<br />KAP = 20%<br />UAP = 8%<br />GREENS = 6%<br /><br />There is little change in the composition of the Legislative Assembly, with three new ALP members reclaiming the Labor seats of Lytton, Everton and Cairns.<br /><br />The former Member for Cairns, Gavin King told The Cairns Post in an exclusive interview that "dirty tricks and smear" had won the seat for the ALP. "I was under siege from the day I was elected," said a visibly angry Mr King, who was the only LNP member to lose his seat North of Brisbane. "The way they carried on when a few aboriginal people died because the hospital refused to provide them with kidney dialysis treatments for free." Mr King said the ALP "went ballistic" and it was "indicative of their dangerous mindsets". <br />"We have aboriginal community leaders like Dum Waggy-Tail-Johns who fully agree with us that the days of a free lunch are over, and if they can't afford to pay for their medical care, like everyone else, then that's their problem. Dum Waggy-Tail-Johns, and other aboriginal leaders have been saying for decades that all the problems of the aboriginal people are because they accept all these freebies and handouts. I'm proud, proud, proud that the LNP has put a comlete stop to it," Mr King said.<br /><br />When asked if the deaths of women attempting to give birth at a free birthing clinic established by some former midwives, to assist women from lower icome groups, had affected his chances of re-election, Mr King vigorously denied it.<br />"Once again this was the vicious work of the ALP", he said. "Our mothers to be today, thanks to the LNP, have beautiful birthing centres with first class chefs, designer theatre gowns, nannies on the spot to care for the bubs, hairdressing salons located within the maternity section and so on. It is just the most beautiful experience because you know we in the LNP believe that giving birth should be the most beautiful experience."<br /><br />KAP Party leader Bob Katter told "The Cairns Post" that whilst he was disappointed the KAP did not gain an extra seat, he was thrilled and delighted with the solid 20% vote his party received. "We are achieving what we set out to do," he said. <br /><br />The Cairns Post was unable to reach the newly elected ALP Member for Cairns, nor could it reach the State ALP Leader.<br /><br /><br /><br />Crystal Ball- Gazernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-83767884895357863942013-06-05T23:13:43.646+10:002013-06-05T23:13:43.646+10:00If things are as bad as you say, why don't any...If things are as bad as you say, why don't any of you whining anonymous sad sacks stand up & run for council or parliament?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-69027054675642611982013-06-05T22:22:18.353+10:002013-06-05T22:22:18.353+10:00Wan king will not be there come next election but ...Wan king will not be there come next election but the damage he will do to Cairns and its familys will be on his head ,why has he lied to all the mums and Dads of Cairns just to get a job, makes you want to vomit.
