I like elections.  They provide us with so much excitement, humor, controversy, gossip, as well as the uplifting feeling of democracy in action and the chance you cast your vote for the future of Queensland.  A lot has changed for me since the last election in terms of family, career, household finances, environmental concerns, and many other issues that can influence my vote on election day.

De-necessary is [...]

Cameras, cameras everywhere…

February 27, 2009

I don’t get it. How can grown adults, learned people, leaders of our state and respected political parties completely forget that when it’s election time news cameras follow them everywhere!? Lawrence Springborg’s dancing effort while impressing the electorate while on Cairns radio is just such an effort (oh how I wish I could find some [...]
