Libs and Nationals Can’t Take a Trick
The Queensland Liberals and Nationals are causing a stir once again. The decision to merge must be a very good idea because it seems to have upset everyone except the Labor party.
Most Queensland Nats at the federal level are beating their chests and declaring that they will never give up their allegiance to the National Party (tell them that they’ll lose their seat at the next election if they don’t and I bet they’ll change their minds).
John Howard is showing his true feelings about the National Party - he’s never forgiven Joh for what he did years ago and our very own Federal member has adopted a rather sensible wait and see attitude.
Why is that sensible? Don’t forget, we’re talking about the Queensland Libs and Nationals here and they can’t agree on anything - give it a week and all talks of a merger will be off.
Oh … and spare a thought for the candidates for those two parties here in Hervey Bay. I wonder how they are feeling right now?
Perhaps the two parties might spend their time more wisely coming up with some policies that people will find attractive. They might also spend some time learning how to become a serious opposition. At the moment they’re facing a Health Minister who couldn’t run a chook raffle and still not able to score any political points.
