It was amusing that the whole Liberal Party line was don't vote Labor as you'll get a minority government. I'm sure they won't be stepping down from office because they themselves now are in a minority government. They could partner up with the Greens!!

What's that old saying?
"Blue and Green should never be seen, except with JLN in between"?

(Meaning something like: painting your (guvmint) boat green won't help when it's sinking...)

We had a project in Townsville ish. Was shown a post on the Thuringowa Facebook page. Lost and found: parrot, sitting on a telephone pole. Says fuck a lot.
And a cousin owned the Mt Stuart pub for a while. Very uncomfortable walk in until cousin appeared and gave me a hug then the bikies and locals were my best mates, including Major Les Hiddins. Rough? Was way beyond rough. Don't step in the blood on your way out.
