Well, I’ve had two weeks of the conservative coalition staggering about, bumping into each other. The minor parties have been invisible. Nevertheless, I’ve got that 1995 feeling. Don’t put a stack of money on Labor – it’ll be too close to call.

As far as I can see, the Queensland Coalition is campaigning weakly yet on their websites, they are campaigning very well.
Why they campaign strongly where most people will never see them confirms that they are scared of public attention. That’s not how to win an election.

Reading the paper the other, I noted that Councillor (or former Councillor) Tim Nicholls is running for Clayfield.
Given that Tim was prepared to give up his job, I am assuming we can come to the conclusion that he has a good chance of winning that particular seat. Is Clark re-contesting?
Well, I think Spider’s correct about the Queensland Liberals, and I think Paul Williams’s article gives us some hint as to why they’re “drongos”. That is, the political class are very insular and sometimes lack an understanding of politics beyond the internal stuff.

Aren’t the QLD Liberals a bunch of drongo’s.
After being nearly eliminated from state parliament, made to look like the three piggies, they suddenly get a good chance of sharing government with the Nationals.
So what do they do? They sabotage it yet again because of a) they can’t cope with being a junior partner and, b) it’s as if they are scared of achieving something positive.
