"David Crisafulli: Centrist Queensland premier is a Liberal Party role model", or so says the headline of a puff-piece by George Brandis in the Age and Sydney Morning Herald.

Redistribution of electoral boundaries, and an upcoming by-election for the North Queensland seat of Hinchinbrook are going to make matters worse. Recent two-party polling says the ALP leads 51.5% over the LNP with 48.5%, which is a big swing since the last election (53.8% to 46.2% in favour of the LNP).
