But perhaps the most underestimated influence of Labor's collapse was the preference flows from minor parties, namely Pauline Hanson's One Nation and Clive Palmer's United Australia Party.
In the south-east seat of Longman, which changed hands from Labor to the LNP, the two minor parties ate up more than 15 per cent of the primary vote.In other regions, their primary share soared to more than 20 per cent. And just like that, Labor's fate was sealed. Both PHON and UAP had pre-arranged preference deals to bolster the LNP and hand power to the Coalition."The goal for the United Australia Party was to ensure the Labor Government did not get into power, introducing more the $1 trillion of new taxes," Mr Palmer said.Labor boasted its integrity would have been compromised had it made a pact with either of the minor parties to pocket their second votes.
Now, that ideological bearing is bruised and broken, Queensland has returned to being one of the most conservative states in the country.
This is crap analysis. In the fog of all of Scummo's lies and Palmer's onslaught Queenslanders were well and truly duped auspol
Analysis? Sounds like the sort of shite frankelly08 comes out with.
I don't get the Adani arguement from these people. How does it work. We are not burning the coal. We sell it to those that need it. If they don't buy from us they will get somewhere else. We can't control that. That is why you lost. You don't get the reality most of Aust does
I think and its Murdoch quislings and lickspittles should put a hand up as well. They never once questioned or refuted false claims on retirees taxes etc, so maybe reflect on your complicity.
judyfree10 Have to say this analysis of Queensland voting outcomes is pretty accurate.
Who drank the Kool-Aid to conflate Bob Brown with Bill Shorten? That's like conflating Morrison & Truffles, or Julie Bishop & Barnaby J. ( both deputies). What stupidity. No similarity! Ah well, I expect one day they'll notice. Might be a bit late for the dust bowl by then
These right wing fuckers would sell their own mothers up the river for a dollar.
Once you read past the clickbait headline, the hard truth of the matter:
Well.more fools them! Adani Jobs may satisfy 4 a moment but Qld will burn& coal bavked energy, like private Healthcare is a false economy for Qlders kids futures! Think on that! They mayb smart but they are STILL bogans! with narrow minds& shirt vision!
Nah, QLD can own this one.
Bob Brown! You are my hero!
Adani jobs might be important in Queensland, but I cannot understand how the farmers who are to have their ground water poisoned do not protest over the mine.
I suspect it would have been prudent to undertake that demonstration after the election
MSMWatchdog2013 Or the gutless approach of the ALP, not clearly stating very few jobs, and only until they are automated. And stating clearly what an environmental disaster it will be. Not the pathetic 'we will weight it up...'
Breaking13rad Here we go blaming again. It does not help. Yes we need to understand QLD, not blame Qld. but we also need to understand why Bob Brown needed to lead this campaign in QLD. Not blame Bob
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Martin Luther King Jr
Him and the Vegan fiasco....
GrogsGamut Yes they forgot about what happened in Tasmania after the Franklin intervention.
Well Qlders can look forward to totally screwing a tourist industry that provides 70k ongoing jobs, all for the Adani mine that will provide less than 1,500 mostly short term jobs, and stuffing their farmland in the process. All because it's too hard to develop a new industry.
Unfortunately the Adani mine should go ahead but with zero govt support and no royality holiday. In five years time we will then see how many are employed in a fully automated mining operation! In ten years we will see just how little coal is actually exported!
Bill had one leg in Victoria green and 1 leg in the QLD mine and a big barb wire fence taut under his crotch...Bob Brown was twanging that fence and made it very uncomfortable
Adani was and is going to happen no matter who was in charge
allysonhorn working for the but article written like one from a newscomauHQ papers.
008moonside I think they’re right in someways
ANALYSIS: LiberalAus won with ClivePalmer help based on lies, scaremongering and bribery and people believing these lies especially in the area where adani is proposed. auspol ausvotes
Yep. StopAdani alienated the very people it sought to influence. Change needs to be championed locally, not imported. StopadaniB Getup even ChangeTheRules need to reflect on their strategies. Were the miners, StopAdani's 'basket of deplorables'? AusVotes2019
People did reference that on my booth in Wahroonga.
Best simple and clear analysis I’ve seen so far on Federal Labor’s QLD 2019 election flop. State Labor take note. Federal Labor take note, too, when choosing your next leader.
Interesting their reaction when some more extreme weather hits them. No pity here.
It's going to be hilarious watching them watch the autonomous mine work from outside the fence...
Labor’s jobs plan would have created more jobs than the fantasy figures given by the Adani fans.
StopAdani
It wasn't just Adani being attacked. It was farmers as well.
Greens certainly forced labor to get ahead of themselves.........Greens want it now and Labor went down with the ship by supporting their demands. There is no real labor party anymore.
Because the greenies are in an unrealistic bubble
Phwoar! Is this headline renewable because this is some industrial strength gaslighting.
NO-one likes to be told what to do. its about adani & having NO respect for the planet we're Trying to save enough to live on. Adani wont help us when push comes to shove.Blinded by $$,our country will pay the price.
Stop Adani was an environmental issue. Because Labor did not have a clear and concise “ new jobs policy” with tangible pathways, it became an individual economic survival concern. Basic human instinct.
cool so what happened in NSW, Tasmania and WA?
Voting today I politely declined a Greens volunteer handing out HTV cards...& was told this election was about climate change. Breathtaking how righteous/presumptuous it was. Climate is important to me, but one of many factors. They're still banging on about it today...🤔
GrogsGamut Where this is wrong is that the Carmichael mine will produce very few jobs.
Conservatives are most grateful to Greens Nutter Bob Brown! His contribution to an LNP victory cannot be underscored! Thanks Bob, keep up the nutty behaviour, it’s greatly appreciated...!!!
QLD coal miners.
And that was a great move bob brown... thank you and goodbye!
No, can't go very far with this one. The situation more complex than one-liners. Why not blame Adani? Clive Palmer? Murdoch press? Poor funding to Qld by Morrison's government as they refused to sell ppublic assets. History- Brisbane line from WW?, FNQ has not forgotten.
Morality is dead
About time abc listens to and debates the real issues for middle Australia rather than peddle their left wing and minorities addenda & opinions.
GrogsGamut Think the way ABCaustralia gave none stop coverage to one electorate was part of the problem. It is no longer ourabc
What a copout. Don't like being told what to do I suppose they're all dying of lung cancer from the cigarettes they refuse to stop smoking then? Utter rubbish. That's an excuse for a four year old, not an entire state of supposedly educated and rational adults.
Nope, Labor's bob each way ober Adani was the problem.
Yes people in North Qld want jobs & want Adani yet its short term thinking, it’s going to destroy the Reef & jobs associated with Tourist and Adani will be automated employing 3 people in Sydney to run it once set up AusVotes19 auspol
it backfired badly
Great job Bob Brown Greens All LNP voters thank you! The trouble with the Greens, Labor and those Vegan clowns, you can’t tell Australians how they will live their life. Don’t think these fools are smart enough to work that out however! AustralianLabor
So when qld is ravaged by once a century floods and droughts year on year, and then expect assistance from southern states , I say enjoy your coal mine and piss off.
Yes Queenslanders don’t like being told. It will be interesting when all those promised jobs are going to save the state....
No-one likes been told that they're not just part of the problem, they are the problem. The same thing elected Trump in the USA.
I do think there’s something in that.
Bollocks...
GrogsGamut So, one should ignore critical issues in case it gets Qlders off-side🤔😖
It really did not help at all. I spoke to many up north and they said Bob browns efforts. The death tax and closing mines scare campaign got them
No, people do care about the reef & water. Palmer's United Australia & Hanson's One Nation parties gave preferences to LNP & not ALP. It's now very obvious that a vote for those two minor parties is a vote for LNP. TheNewDailyAu australian theage Greens AustralianLabor
Yeah! Stick it to those people who want to save you from coal-lung! I'm gonna go suck on a Tide-Pod just to show you lefties what's what, and then I'm going to go and buy a Keurig and smash it, and then buy some Nike's and burn 'em, yeah, I'M A WINNAR!
Nothing Queenslanders love more than outsiders coming in & telling them what can & cant be done.
Look there were a few of us trying to advise that it was different up here, requiring different strategy. Was always going to be problematic. At least he had a go! ✊
Thanks Bob, keep up the good work
The climate change con is the gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks Bob
