Labour wins 2009

[reelchippy]

Well hats off to labour all i can say dont blame me

One good thing Ronan Lee looks like he will not win his seat, with know green as seating members :laugh:

[davefishmad]

yes I must say there are some very happy people in Brisbane tonight.

I guess the Liberal party did not realise that a threat to cut jobs and infastructure spending just was not a real policy.

I heard that the Borg guy turned up to the Tinney show too with a few loose promises of fixing everything in Moreton Bay with a wave of his hand, don't know why?

[Terry H]

Personally I think the election result was a good one. I dont think the springboard had the policies or leadership to take us anywhere, and the loss of seats has sent a warning shot across Captain Bligh's bow.

This was never going to be an election for who you wanted. This was an election to keep out the one that you mistrusted the most.

It will be interesting to see how she manages the state during the tough times... We're all winners while the going is good.

Historically the current / incumbent governments (state & federally) have been epic failures when it comes to making money.

I guess it a mater of wait and see. :unsure:

[werewolf]

EDIT: whoops read that wrong first time round

yeah I agree hairyweasel

[shortie]

fun times ahead

[wallyfly]

anglers be aware...as a result of yesterday's political droning watch the yellow and blue areas start to turn green. curse in those who cause it!!!! :silly:

[shortie]

even if springborg had of 1 we would still of been stuck with the green zones for some time. Because change doesnt happen overnight

[Brian D]

Dredging projects are now on hold

Green zones are here to stay

Debt grows

Marine industry is still rated as a 2nd class citizen

QLD boating industry is very vulnerable with no life line

A win for who? Certianly not SEQ.

But in saying that I was more impressed with Borg’s surrender speech then his campaign approach. Just saying the other party is stuffed is not a solid foundation for future growth.

Last comment: Go away Greenies, please just go away and take your stupid ideas with you.

[wallyfly]

AMEN to allthat:(

[shortie]

Anna Blighs speach " I grew up in a time when QLD was considered a backward state in Australia."

Well then bring back the dark ages.

[Shrimpo]

Yep. But it still didn't work.

Same promises from the ALP we've heard for the last 3 elections. Why do we have to hear the same promises if they delivered on their promises in the first place.

The only promise that was kept was the one to the Greens.

Isn't there an old saying about discussing politics and religion?

I think the best result out of it, is that every seat near the Mary River is now held by anti-dam councilor. If that's not a wake up call to exactly how Queenslander's feel about Traveston then I don't know what is. In better news Ted Sorenson, former mayor of Hervey Bay, ousted Mr. McNamara, a well reknowned supporter of netters and pro-fisherman in the Sandy Straits area. With his background in Hervey Bay, hopefully Ted Sorenson will understand that places like the Sandy Straits mean more to the thousands of retirees, local holiday makers and recreational fishermen, than the handful of pros that plunder it on a daily basis.

Main Roads starts on the bypass to allow dam construction next month. Still being done as accelerated contruction. I reckon I will be catching my first Barra out of traveston within 5 years!
