Looking over the ABC’s figures, it would appear that there is just one LNP seat and one of only two out of 89 electorates recording a swing to the ALP: Toowoomba South, held by veteran LNP MP, former Minister and former Nationals Leader Mike Horan.

Most of you have probably seen or heard about this already, but for those that haven’t – campaigning via brutal honesty.

…following on from William’s post, Ben Raue at The Tally Room has chanced his hand on predicting seat outcomes. He ends up with a 42-42 tie between Labor and the LNP. And he has some very spiffy Google maps to illustrate his predictions!

I’ve avoided any commentary on the purported photos of Pauline Hanson published this week for two reasons. Firstly, I don’t think the media needs yet another excuse to cover trivialities instead of issues in the current Queensland election campaign.

It starts at 12:30 1:00pm Qld time, but what we need to know is which outfits are broadcasting it?

Some groups though [...]

It’ll be interesting to see whether in retrospect today turns out to be the day The Borg threw the campaign with his fiscal policy announcement. While the ALP has maintained its small and funded policy stance, it’s effectively made Springborg the issue through tying him up in knots on the economy. There’s a fair bit [...]

Antony has the candidate list produced in nice, easily readable alphabetical order. So what do we know? Any serial candidates? Any regional conservative or inner city small “l” Liberal candidates of they type the LNP were fretting about?  Apart from the Green Light sisters (Anja and Inge) and Clan McLindon, there seems to be a [...]
