But in the north, I think that Menckens will almost certainly lose Burdekin now. Macrossan will be interesting. And of course, how it plays in the next election will depend on whether the "mergers and acquisitions" business is sorted. Still, we should all celebrate every redistribution that is carried out by independent commissioners in this State! The fact that it's disadvantageous to the Government proves that the system is working. I reckon you’re right in the overall assessment, Graham.

If that's right, it suggests either Bligh has been badly advised or she's creating some conventional wisdom to talk up Labor as the underdog.
