The QLD State election is being watched very closely by both the major parties in Canberra as this is the first major election in Australia since the WFC (World Financial Crisis) started affecting the world and Australian economies.It is also the first major election since the $10billion 'cashback' stimulus package by the Federal government a few months ago.
Jan Jarrett (ALP) holds the seat by just 0.4%, with Dr Paul Joice (LNP) and Austin Lund (Greens) campaiging hard. Dr Joice has made some headway and could win if it was just a 'ALP V LNP' contest, however the Greens have advised that they will be giving their preferences to the ALP, so this will make for a very close contest in the seat of Whitsunday.
It will be interesting to see the voters intentions on Saturday with so many big issues confronting us at the moment . . . . should we vote for smart economics to stay 'in the black', or vote for more spending now 'and go into the red', or will it be our need to be Green to reduce our carbon footprint that influences voters?
