Premier Anna Bligh ditches the SEQ water grid ...
Not in the top job until tomorrow but Premier Anna can't wait to ditch responsibility for infrastructure including the SEQ water grid.
Excerpt from ABC News:
12 September 2007
Ms Bligh has been endorsed by the Labor Caucus this morning and will be officially sworn in as Premier tomorrow.
She says she wants the building of infrastructure; including roads, hospitals and the water grid to be one of the hallmarks of her time in office.
She says a strong economy will be her first priority but her Deputy Paul Lucas will not take on the treasury portfolio, he will instead be handed infrastructure and planning.

Just a female Dodo replica of Beaattie - and Paul Lucas sitting near power - are Queenslanders that deeply touched by the sun that they have allowed this totally incompetent bunch to run/ruin the State?

Jeez!
Mr Lucas denied being disappointed, saying he was "thrilled to bits" at being handed responsibility to plan for the state's future.
"What I love is infrastructure – build, build, build," he said.
"When I was a kid I loved blocks. I still love building things."

And the youthful Andrew Fraser will become Queensland's second youngest state treasurer. After stuffing up the council amalgamations. Keep the cheque book away from him!!

They have no depth and I look forward to watching the stack crumble and it will. We need the Nationals to step up to the mark and make a difference. The by-election for Beattie's seat will be a good test and the opposition should be able to win on recycled sewage water alone.
Anna may back down on the amalgamations and we can all settle down in our own little world.

Don't hold your breath for the Nationals or Liberals to come blazing back as an opposition force just because Beattie has gone. This will take time - one or two terms - and with plenty of new blood. In their current state, there's not much chance.

There is an opportunity for an independent to take votes at the Beattie by-election by running on a platform of not forcing Brisbane residents to drink recycled water.
