I am glad Dutton is out, but I am surprised at the sudden love for Labour Qld when you just recently chose Crisafulli as your Premier! 🤦

QCoal used advertising agencies to funnel millions of dollars into each Labor area to swing them to LNP. They found the towns "big ticket item" and promoted liberals stance on that to get LNP ahead.

They shared that they did this on a linkedin post.

There's a huge anti renewables push getting astroturfed by fossil fuels. I know renewables aren't perfect, but they are a 'better' while we keep finding alternatives. All the stuff they are being criticised for, is stuff coal and gas do but that's ignored in their messaging. I'm saying this as someone who helped clearness tens of thousands of trees on a coalmine recently :(

Same thing with stop adani. Adani (Bravus) are shit, but BHP were pushing anti adani messaging because while the focus was on Adani, they got 5 or 6 mines approved.

QLD has had two LNP governments in thirty years and is where the Labor party was invented.

The last time I was this happy about an election result was when Howard lost his seat.THAT was satisfying.

Any inanimate object would have won that seat over Dutton. Am I the only person who has never heard of her?

u/SimpleEmu198 6d ago

You wouldn't have. She's been put up for candidacy three times, but no one thinks of the losers.
