#Insiders #DavidSpeers I gave up watching when you took over. I witnessed your style and demeanour and did not like it. I was unimpressed with your gotcha questioning and severe interruption. I caught your interview with #CameronDick this morning post #QldElection and see you're still interrupting.

So, whoopee-do. Queensland gives us the inevitable result in a parliamentary ping-pong when choices are limited. Why is it that Australians can only count to two? No Greens or Independents and a right-wing minor party gets up. What a shambles. It's time for third-choice activists to light their torches.

No more political ads. It's the last day of the Queensland state election and I won't have to look at those ugly attack ads anymore.

Pundits are predicting more Green and Independent seats in tomorrow's voting. Indy's of the world unite!

I voted for neither major party. Politics is broken. We need a future independent of contaminated party politics.

#QLDLabor made a plan (the Qld Energy and Jobs Plan) for a better, cleaner future.
And even since September 2022, generation has outpaced those plans!
Such massive changes don't happen overnight, but they do happen! And they are. #QLDelection #qldvotes

My wish for the coming Queensland election is to see a tsunami of independents flooding the crossbench. Let whatever side 'wins' have to negotiate with people who genuinely represent their constituents without the contamination of 'special interests.' Let them have to negotiate for everything. Let this be the start of a grand new experiment in democracy. #auspol #qldelection #democracy

Labor, LNP 'broken', minor parties look to gain ground - Michael West

Queensland’s crossbench is expected to swell as minor parties make waves among disenfranchised voters. Of 93 seats in the Sunshine State parliament, seven are currently held by someone other than an ALP or Liberal National Party member. Among them, lone independent Sandy Bolton in Noosa looks likely to comfortably retain her spot while her crossbench […]

Voted today in the #QldElection. Why do I always have an existential crisis in the voting booth over whether to put Family First or One Nation last?!? Next time I’ll run a poll myself on who is the worst!

Why am I getting LNP election pitches in my email? I've never gotten them before. How do they get my email address? I've never voted for them. Ever. This makes me angry.
