Queenslanders: The same people who got Scumo over the line.
You guys ok up there?
That's because Federal Labor didn't do enough work in Queensland during the last election.

I think on balance QLD leans conservative - after all it's the only state where the Nationals have been the major party in the various iterations of the Coalition - so federal Coalition victories aren't all that surprising. People in the other states might get confused by the fact we've had Labor premiers for the past 30 odd years. But our Labor premiers are only so because our state conservatives, the LNP, are so hopeless on the state level. We've flirted with giving them a chance a couple of times but every time we do keep getting burned by them.That's because Federal Labor didn't do enough work in Queensland during the last election.

Whilst I mostly jest, I do agree that I find it odd that such a conservative state in Queensland consistently votes in a Labor state government. If the Liberal candidate is really worse than the current offering, I worry for you guys. But ultimately, I’m just an outsider, so my opinion is somewhat invalid.I think on balance QLD leans conservative - after all it's the only state where the Nationals have been the major party in the various iterations of the Coalition - so federal Coalition victories aren't all that surprising.

Nope, our premier is doing a great job.

I don’t mind really, definitely beats a full lockdown that’s for sure. Is it a slight overkill for one case? Probably. But if it’s what we need to do for a weekend to ensure the safety of the community, so be it. In all honesty, a mask at the shops, no singing or dancing and 20 people max at your house for 2 days is nothing.@rj90 what do you think about some of the restrictions coming back? I think it's a good balance without resorting to an unnecessary and disruptive lockdown.
When will Anastasia close the borders I wonder!?

Well if it gets any worse, then soon I hope.
