Admittedly the "Its time" factor was a major contribution, but it also seems that the Labor Government was the blame for the floods, droughts, cyclones and GFC. When they privatized public assets to pay off debt, they lost a lot of support. The part that I dont understand is that if the LNP was in power, they wouldn't have hesitated to sell off assets.
The Labor Party did not deserve that kind of a landslide. Admittedly, there were scandals over the years, but that always comes with longevity in government. It was said on The Insiders this morning that Queenslanders dont like female leaders and I would tend to believe that. I lived there when Joh Bejelke Petersen was Premier and believe me, they're a different race north of Tweed Heads.
Bruce Hawker has proved to be a bit of a dud as a campaign director. With 2 absolute thrashings in a row, I think he should start thinking about hanging up his boots. After how he carried on with Krudd, I'll always think of him as a spiv.
Can-Do is going to have a few problems with the boofheads that he had run in Labor blue ribbon seats and then accidentally fell over the line. The more MPs you have on your team, the more chances there are for scandals. I believe that Can-Do is a control freak like Krudd so it will be interesting to see how this new government evolves.
