On the topic of the Queensland election: I think everyone expected Labor to win, so it was no surprise. Queensland politics never seem to attract politicians who I find particularly impressive, which makes it harder for me to have an interest in following its intrigues closely.
That said, the LNP current leader Deb Frecklington I find has a quite unappealing media presence and manner. I was surprised she didn't just resign at the concession speech on Saturday. Probably because the LNP has had particularly talentless and charmless politicians at the State level for such a long time now.
I was actually quite rude to some LNP "how to vote" poll booth people on Saturday. Only because they looked university student age. They gave me a cheery greeting, and I responded by asking what was wrong with them, that they were too young to be in such a stupid party. They took it quite well, actually - I think one of them said "I don't really have a come back for that" (and no one else was within hearing distance, it wasn't like I was trying to make a scene.) I have never done this before, but really, Young Liberals are just hard to put up with.
Update: Oh, so she has resigned today. Why not say on Saturday that she'll consider her future and make a decision in a few days' time?
