So welcome to day 3 of Election ‘09. Or is that two days? That’s neither here or there. What is important is a look back at the last few days of the election. At the end of the day, it is important to remember that we people are smarter than to believe the drivel from the election adverts.
We see Anna Bligh talking about stability during long projects. What the? Just because Anna isn’t there holding the reins doesn’t mean the Gateway Duplication (or any other number of projects) are going to fall over. Sure, they might change a few projects (like getting rid of the stupid Traveston Crossing Dam).
Then you get to listen to Lawrence Springborg sitting in an office telling us that Health, Education and Flying Pigs are important to his re-election bid. Perhaps he will hop on the back of said Flying Pig (not to be confused with Spider Pig (and the Borg remix) and visit the entire state in 26 days.
You know, at the end of the day it feels like only this much has happened. No running out of the blocks. I haven’t heard wall to wall Anna and Borg. Where are the perennial Green candidates on street corners? Where are the Independents kissing babies?
Why doesn’t Father Peter Kennedy run for South Brisbane? Surely he would oust Anna Bligh? I think at this stage, who cares?
Not me. Not yet.
