SEQ water debate - add a little misdirecton ...
Can proposing Mrs Beattie as a possible Brisbane Lord Mayor contender be anything other than a little misdirection by the Premier to take some of the focus away from the Level 5 water restriction announcements?
Judging from the feedback, it worked (no-one ever said the Premier wasn't politically shrewd) but, just in case they really think Mrs Beattie should run for Mayor, perhaps they should read some of the comments - a minor indication of public sentiment towards the Premier's wife.
See - Courier Mail - comments - Mrs Beattie for Lord Mayor.

Just a PR misdirection stunt by Premier Beattie. The news build up all week with the denial by Mrs Beattie released in time to make the Sunday Mail:

I won't be lord mayor
11 March 2007
The campaign to get Heather Beattie to run for Brisbane lord mayor is over.
The wife of the Premier yesterday said thanks, but no thanks to the growing army of people pushing her name forward for the top City job next year.
Speaking at her home, Dr Beattie said she had been very flattered and touched by community and Labor Party support for the move but one politician in the family was "quite enough".
The game that is politics ...
