Look what happened to Latham when he suggested an alternative way of dealing with woodchipping in Tasmania in 2004, that the vested interests immmediately threw a tantrum at, despite the reasonableness of the proposal.

I don’t think there’s any denying that purely as a politician, he was one of the smartest we’ve seen for a very long... A confident Queensland or the wasted years?

I remember visiting QLD in Joh's days, it's a vastly different state now, and I think while there has been neglected areas it first had to have more people, Beatie has done that. His priorities can be argued, but it is better now than when it was ruled by Joh, and Beatie did that. He first had to drag the QLD labor into the 21st centry, he did that now the infrastructure is in need of priority. Chicken and egg, cart and horse. I trust the new premier has the where withal to do that. A good article, encapsulates my ambitions for SA, If he wants a job SA needs him. fluff I’m not a QLD er.

Then again, I guess he has handed over just in time and it 'only' risks being Anna Blighs legacy? He could end up being remembered for letting Brisbane run dry – if it doesn’t flood this summer.
