QLD Labor on the brink of collapse.

Yep HB, the ALP in Qld are a disaster...a complete and utter failed experiment. That is all this rabble of MP's are, an experiment that has failed when a maxi taxi of nobodies is elected to govern the state.

The result here is exactly the same result you would get if independents ever got enough together to form a Government.
..confusion and no policy.

I just hope all those fools that voted for Labor are really chuffed and pleased that they are instrumental in bringing Qld to it's knees. Qld will NEVER ever recover or move forward under a Labor Government...

WHEN a state government is elected unexpectedly – even surprising members of the winning party – six months is probably a better mark at which to assess progress and direction than the usual “first 100 days”.
And as we outline today, this Government’s biggest achievement so far has been scrubbing from history a long list of laws and decisions enacted by the former Newman government.
Now this might be due to fulfilling commitments given before the election. And yes, it will surely satisfy the desires of various trade union and environmental interest groups, but it hardly makes a record of achievement or an agenda for the future.
Yesterday’s announcement by Health Minister Cameron Dick that the hard-fought-for and controversial contracts for surgeons and physicians working in public hospitals will be junked in favour of award-based bargaining agreements is another example of ticking a box to make another group happy. It doesn’t give us any greater idea what the Palaszczuk Government’s overall plan for public health and hospitals is and how Queenslanders might benefit.
On the economic front, Treasurer Curtis Pitt and Deputy Premier Jackie Trad have offered soothing words to business – promising to not get in the way of development – but some actions, such as the Cedar Woods decision, run counter to these reassurances.
The July Budget was a steady-as-it-goes document that failed to set out a plan. There were no employment goals, no measures to reduce regulation or promote development and nothing to lessen the burden of state taxes. So, how to turn this around? A good start to the second six months of this Labor Government would be a clear direction on the Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment laws that are under a cloud because of a commitment to “review” the legislation.

After last week’s soft handling by the courts of the offenders in the outrageous Gold Coast bikie brawl that sparked the laws, the Government said it was a matter for the police service to say whether it needs additional resources. But this is not the point. It was not a matter of police manpower but a question of giving our law enforcement officers the legal backing to act against these anti-social and criminal gangs.
The review has been in the slow lane while the Government tries to find a way through a problem of its own making. The Left has bumped against the reality that such laws are needed and were an appropriate, necessary and highly successful response.
Just as federal Labor ended its agonising over border protection by accepting the Coalition’s previously detested turn-back-the-boats policy, Queensland Labor should accept the reality of what works and endorse the retention of VLAD laws. Cabinet can then move on to shape, explain and implement a plan for the state.
You can’t keep on governing by simply saying “we are not Campbell Newman”. This is a government that owes its people a clear direction and comprehensive plan for the future of the state, the protection and promotion of jobs and an easing of the cost of living.

you are right boatboy, but what is the opposition doing.

LNP under springborg are not making inways at all - Qld LNP need to tell springborg and langbrook to step down and let someone who the public and media will listen to take over as opposition leader
