Tight Election Contest

Well the Queensland state election continues to be a tight contest with neither party throwing a knockout punch. Perhaps the most disastrous thing to happen in the last week is the holing of a container ship and the spilling of oil on S.E. Queensland much beloved beaches. I think this more than any other thing demonstrates why this Labor government is unfit to govern and needs tossing out. As with most things in the last 11 years under labor its too little, too late, and yet another cock up response to a problem.

Having been advised that the ship had spilled oil what did this government do? Nothing? They didn't try to contain the spill, or soak it up at sea or even use chemicals disperse the slick - no they sit back and wait for it to wash on the shore and a put toxic sludge all over some of the nicest beaches in Queensland. Finally days later they get off their asses once they realize they can't hide it for the public - you tend to notice your favorite blue water beach with dark brown water and your shoes destroyed by the toxic black muck at your feet. Then they scrap off the surface sand for dumping elsewhere - that's Labors solution for most of whats wrong with this state - slow response, wrong response, wasted time and effort.

Captain BLIGH call me Fletcher Christian - because I for one will be voting you off the ship.

Fellow Queenslander's feel free to mutiny with me and let's get a new government in Queensland.
