We have his scalp! We have the carcase of his gov bleeding all over the tally room floor. The Campbell Newman Queensland gov is gone, finished, done like a diner by Queensland voters. The Reef is looking much safer today than it was yesterday.
It was a shock to all as seats tumbled Labor's way over and over. To us it was unbelievable! The Lieberals went into horror management. But there was no chance of putting a shine on this one. It was an annihilation.
Labor started with just 9 seats to the Lieberals 72. They have turned it around in one term to a projected 46 seats and will take gov with enough votes to rule in their own right. They won the un-winable election.
The Lieberals lost the un-losable one. This was supposed to be a walk in the park for them. Nobody saw the biggest poll turnaround in Australian history coming. Abbott will be shitting himself, with Lieberals openly saying his Prime Ministership is now terminal.
Amazingly it's all working out how I thought it might; that if they kept Abbott on as PM then they'd lose Victoria and get a real shock in Queensland. The shock however went seismic. How can the average Aussie sit at home and have more of an idea at what's going on in politics than the political advisors in the Lieberal party? Blind freddy could have seen it coming. I keep getting amazed at the Lieberals inability to turf Abbott. Fuck, how much worse can it get?
The rout of the Liberal National Party in the Queensland election is being described as "catastrophic" by federal Coalition MPs, with some claiming the Prime Minister is now terminally wounded.
"All we are talking about now is the timing and method of execution," one Queensland MP said.
"This is catastrophic, unimaginable," said another. Labor looks set to pull off a stunning victory in a cliffhanger election, after securing a double-digit swing that has ended the political career of Premier Campbell Newman.
Labor is on track to claim 45 or 46 of the 89 seats in the state's parliament, after going into the poll holding only nine seats.
"My political career is over," Mr Newman told LNP supporters as he conceded defeat in his seat.
A senior federal Coalition source said the next move was Tony Abbott's. more
