Agreed, but with the following reservation. Queenslanders clearly want to turf out Miles and his cronies after 9+ years of appalling ALP government, but do they want to elect a wimp as Premier? Crisafulli’s recent comments on rejecting a shift to nuclear energy, in particular, are the comments of a weak politician unwilling to take risks, not the words of a leader. I know he wants to avoid the gung-ho approach of Campbell Newman, and that’s fair enough, but a ‘make no mistakes’ attitude will ensure that he’s at best a short-term Premier, if indeed he becomes one in October.

Crisafulli should commit to remove the ban on uranium mining in Queensland, embrace the adoption of nuclear energy as an important part of the energy mix, and reform Queensland’s extortionate coal royalties regime (the most oppressive in the world). His declaration that he’ll adopt Labor’s budget in full is surely a sick joke.
