Campbell Newman. You're Sacked! It's the 'Golden Rule'

Campbell Newman. You're Sacked! It's the 'Golden Rule'. 

Wishful thinking.



Whether Newman and his cohorts believe in the Golden Rule is debatable. There is no way we can sack them. The actions of the 'Can Do' Team clearly states that they know as voters we have to wait 3years or so to have our say - at the ballot box. Meanwhile, one could be forgiven for assuming that, in regard to democratic government in Queensland, the LNP ethos is this;

"Let us just say, We believe that we, the LNP as a democratic government 
should always Bite the hand that feeds us!

And that if the battler, the voters who put us in power,don't like it?

Tough! They don't realise how hard it is to ensure that,

 "-the iron ungodly hand of
class distinction has settled surely down upon Australian
society--Australia's democracy is only a tradition of the past."
Miles Franklin, My Brilliant Career

They should feel sorry for us. We, the Qld LNP MPs are Queenslanders too, battlers like them, who share the same burdens they have to bear. Burdens like, job insecurity, low wages, and salaries, skyrocketing prices, a bureaucracy gone mad, having our resources and infrastructure sold or ripped off, our natural environment raped and pillaged and diminishing help for the sick and disabled. It's not our fault. We are the good guys!
The voters just have to accept that we know what is best for Queensland - class distinction - Us and them. It is the only way to make our form of democracy viable for the top end of town and thereby get our economy back on it's feet and keep us, the LNP, in power."
