In the southeast, the nine key seats analysts say are the ones to watch this election are Bonney, Burleigh, Caloundra, Currumbin, Gaven, Glass House, Maryborough, Pumicestone and Theodore.

Interesting to see that five of the nine "key seats to watch" are on the Gold Coast, four of which are currently held by the LNP. If the Gold Coast swings hard to Labor tonight then the ALP can't really lose. It would also indicate that southern residents of the Gold Coast actually agree with Palaszczuk's border policies.

Glasshouse mmm.
One can hope, but I think it will be safe.Although the LNP powerbroker are not fussed with the incumbent for some reason..

Um no.
Three companies not one.

I am talking way earlier in Feb.
We should have only allowed people back from overseas, that went straight to detention centre quarantine. None of this trusting self isolation rubbish.
At that time we should have implemented masks, social distancing, hand washing and temperature checks everywhere, as well as testing.

We were too easy going at the start, Sco Mo and his daily mixed waffle messages.

They could have been like Taiwan.
We could have remained open, no job losesetc.

Make no mistake the Feds screwed This up .

No-one in the world knew in February. That is a ridiculous statement.

Once it hit us the response everywhere but VIC was great. Then a couple of states decided to pander to fear.

There is simply no science or medical advice other than by the clearly politicised chief medical officers (as we have seen in Victoria to the point where they have lied to an inquiry).

Not true

We were talking about it on this board, because I remember flagging the mass migration of CNY as something that could potentially see this explode across China.

People were openly talking about this as far back as mid January, and intelligence agencies were briefing western govts on this back in december

sounds like half the voters and candidates are smashed too from the ballot box behaviour

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Pretty sad that this is likely to be close.

Annastacia Palaszczuk first woman to win three consecutive terms – as it happened

Postal and pre-poll votes remain crucial to final count as Labor leads in south-east marginals and Greens topple Jackie Trad. This blog is now closed

Pretty sad that this is likely to be close.

If things go sour, Palaszczuk would have to be the most popular incumbent to ever lose office.

And Frecklington isn't even close to a good alternative. Crazy.

For context , they were both echoing my sentiments regarding how the libs have run this campaign.

Ah.
So what is that?

If Hanson didn't vote with the Libs on almost every single issue you could almost take her seriously. Nice to see Barclay McGain campaigning for her, it takes a particular skill to destroy your career in politics without ever having one.

LOL

You know me , what do you think

Yeah and to be fair , it was jones who said it all and she just agreed.

Welll. They did such a great job, honest they did. Deb is up there with Mother Theresa....lol.

Boted. C'mon Anastasia .

The plunge in ON votes is huge.

Anna Palmer, 2.1%

That's what you get for gold digging that fat piece of s**t. Just as much human garbage as he is.

Yep.

We're around Sandgate and didn't receive that much until the afternoon, but storms had been popping up very quickly across the state today.

Storms actually began at around 10:30am today, which is not normal and points to severe storms later in the day.

If things go sour, Palaszczuk would have to be the most popular incumbent to ever lose office.

And Frecklington isn't even close to a good alternative. Crazy.

It'd be unprecedented to have a QLD election which was won or lost on FNQ or the SC/GC, rather than Brisbane.
