Election in the Air






Snap elections catch everyone by surprise, but this was the worst-kept secret in the State. After eight 'retirements' in as many days it seems, Anna finally called an election for the 21st March. Anna didn't come out with anything too earth shattering on the first day, perhaps she plans to start in Townsville this morning.

However the LNP's brightest member, Mayor Campbell Newman came up with the incredible answer for Brisbane City traffic woes - reduce the inner city speed limit to 40km/hour - now that will speed up the traffic flow no end????" I wonder whether the Borg is going to do this state-wide.

Let the games begin!

I hope not. The current rubbish about "is this a 50 zone or not" is hard enough. Invest in rail and *propper* bus services (none of this hail and ride crap) and you will get a well oil transport machine...
