I have been asked for my thoughts ahead of #qldvotes. The anger against the Bligh government and the Newman government that resulted in change just isn't there right now. Qld enters caretaker mode on Tuesday. There will be more to the story as we approach Oct 31. #qldpol
Queenslanders voting LNP at the Fed election doesn't necessarily mean they will do the same at the state election. #qldpol is a complex situation. I would encourage everyone to listen to this excellent analysis from journalist @BenSmee ahead of #qldvotes.
My personal opinion is that if Fed Labor want to win Qld seats in 2022 they need to deploy a Qld Labor based champion who can rip into the Feds. That person is Qld Deputy Premier @StevenJMiles. #qldpol #qldvotes

Peter Dutton's fears for car parks.

"There are no new schools. There are no new freeways. No road widenings. No new car parks at train stations." #auspol
There's so many Coalition car park news reports over time. Just one example. #auspol abc.net.au/news/2022-03-0…
Peter Dutton's amusing story on the Ferny Grove station car park in his seat of Dickson. Fearing losing his seat, he threw $11m at the Qld govt but they were already funding it. He tried to own it but his new proposal put it in the flood zone. #auspol crikey.com.au/2021/07/07/car…

Pt1/2 In which Scott Morrison is asked again if he's a buffoon for describing the NSW ICAC a kangaroo court, stands by his comments & proceeds to explain how state & federal jurisdictions are different. #ausvotes
Pt 2/2 "I don't care if barristers & lawyers up there in Macquarie Street - I don't mean in the parliament - I mean sitting around in the barristers' chambers disagree with me." Scott Morrison has never had much truck with barristers & their jabots & all the rest of it. #ausvotes
Scott Morrison deep in Campbell Newman country now who described the Qld judiciary as living in ivory towers. Then came the backlash culminating in Gary Crooke QC & later Tony Fitzgerald QC appearing on ABC News. There was no way back. #ausvotes brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queen…

Pt1/5 Scott Morrison still standing by Liberal candidate for Warringah, Katherine Deves, who falsely claimed children were being mutilated by gender reassignment surgery in Australia. #ausvotes
Pt2/5 "I'm not a surgeon so I will rely on the chief medical officer who uses the appropriate - well I'm not the chief medical officer." Scott Morrison refuses to equate Katherine Deves' false description of gender reassignment with his continued support for her. #ausvotes
Pt3/5 Scott Morrison continues avoiding the point that children cannot undergo gender reassignment surgery in Australia. #ausvotes

Pt1/4 "I don't accept the premise of your question." A lot of questions on the Religious Discrimination Act to follow. Basically, Scott Morrison is not implementing anything outside of the RDA. He blames Labor for it not being passed in the parliament. #ausvotes
Pt2/4 Scott Morrison claims there is no evidence that any LGBTIQA+ students are being expelled. Says it's not the point that it can happen, the point is that it doesn't. Blames Labor for any deficiencies in the Sexual Discriminations Act because they wrote the laws. #ausvotes
Pt3/4 "I don't think you are across the legislation."
"I think I am."
Scott Morrison says the RDA will trigger the law reform review for LGBTIQA+ students & maintains Australians of religious faith are discriminated against every day. #ausvotes

The bond between Queensland & Victoria is much greater than we know. Qld's greatest premier was TJ Ryan. He was a Victorian. He died in office in 1921. So loved by the Qld people, funding was raised to erect this statue. There are no statues to any other Qld premiers.
Queensland Premier TJ Ryan rests in Toowong cemetery in Brisbane. He was Queensland's greatest premier & the nation's greatest premier. He instigated many of the rights Australians have today. 100 years on, he is with us in these difficult times.
What would Queensland Premier TJ Ryan think now? He'd be along the same lines as Victoria Premier @DanielAndrewsMP & Qld Premier @AnnastaciaMP. I don't think he would be very impressed by the PM or the NSW Premier at this point.

Pt 1/5 A train wreck in five parts. Gladys Berejiklian scoffs at Victoria as she's pressed to define essential work for the lockdown.
"Victoria did it very successfully.
"No they didn't." #nswpol #springst
Pt 2/5 The media continues on the essential work definition subject. Why not suspend some government infrastructure projects to set an example for people? Gladys Berejiklian puts the responsibility back on citizens. #nswpol #springst
Pt 3/5 Media continues putting it to Gladys Berejiklian that by not defining essential work it makes employees powerless. Still not getting it. #springst #nswpol
