When did this become a referendum on the CEP instead of the selection of good councillors to represent us for the next four years?

I implore everyone to look into the candidates other policies before supporting them, who knows, you could just be supporting someone who support policies that will destroy our hill-slopes and ruin our beaches!

Are our hill-slopes and beaches really the price you’re willing to pay because the scaremongers told you that $57 million of Council spending will hike your rates up… did you notice a hike of $270 from the sewerage upgrades? No? That’s because it didn’t happen, yet scaremongers logic would say that if $57 million equal $90 then $180 million must equal a $270 rate hike.

Read the facts, Be educated.
I’m not saying Vote 4 Val,
But it’s what I did.

YOU WANTED THIS QUEENSLAND. YOU VOTED FOR THIS MAN. 

There is something wrong with a political system when a single party can win 80% of the Parliament with only 49% of the vote…. something doesn’t add up, if 51% of the people (thats a legal majority) didn’t vote for you but you still end up in power.

Don’t believe me, goto www.ecq.qld.gov.au and check the official results.

I don’t usually venture into the city at night, so ive never seen it all for myself before, but as date would have it, I missed my transfer and was stuck in Lake St for an hour, there were a great many homeless people crowded under whatever shelter they could find.

Something needs to be done to address this problem, it is unacceptable in the modern day and age that people on a developed country with one of the worlds strongest economies should be living out on the streets in the cold and wet.

I challenge our newly elected State Parliamentarian, Gavin King, to actively seek to improve the quality of life for these people by providing them with the basic human necessities of food, water and shelter.

More then 20 years ago, the sitting National Party Government of Queensland ran a scare tactic campaign based around the issue of decriminalising Homosexuality,

The Nationals produced a number of controversial advertisements, one of which alleged that the Labor Opposition’s plan to decriminalise homosexuality would lead to a flood of gays from southern states moving to Queensland.

Fortunately after the Fitzgerald Report 1989 and the Election of the Labor Party Government, Homosexuality was decriminalised, in 2002 under the Bligh Labor Government same-sex de-facto relationships where legally recognised ,And in 2012 the Bligh Government passed The Civil Partnerships Act will allow same-sex and heterosexual couples to formally register their relationships with the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, a move dismissed by opponents as mimicking marriage but hailed by supporters as an important step towards equality.

Things seemed to be moving forward towards equallity, until the State Election of 2012 where the renamed Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman promised,

“… if elected to Queensland government he would look into repealing civil unions “immediately” and “in the first few months” …”
 

Campbell Newman and the LNP won parliament with a landslide 87% majority of seats.

Let us hope that this is one election promise he can’t keep.
