Anna Bligh

4BC Mornings: The question's being asked - is an election looming on the horizon? Political Commentator, Paul Williams talks to Chris Adams about the possibility, and what the Bligh goverment plans to do with empty seats, job numbers and pollies super.

Blog comments Your Say

  • Ronny multi 'Bligh's Day are numbered' with Black Caviar this Saturday and you might get odds of 25 to 1 on if your lucky.

    In other words their both raging hot favourites.

  • @Ronny, pollies are unemployable so they probably need a little extra.
    Although I believe Anna has some checkout operator experience so she may be ok.
    If we didn't pay them to leave , they would continue to run havoc, so we are stuck between a rock and a hard place on this issue.
    As for your Poll precdiction,
    You are obviously hoping that Queenslanders will pass the IQ test this time.

  • Ronny:- one easy way for taxpayers to attain the super and entitlements of politicians: stand for and be elected to public office!
    Not many wish to have their lives scrutinised to the extent politicians do.

    John of Caloundra Thursday 12 January, 2012 - 12:18 PM

  • Bligh's Day's are numbered.
    As usual the ministers leaving are due for fat pensions that usual taxpayers can never attain.
    Not only a fat pension but also free add-ons
    A pollies super is indexed every year and not based on the share market but their own internal bastion.
    Any politician that is defeated or resigns with 8 years service can look forward to a glorious life with lots of cash while the normal taxpayer has to struggle just to survive on their own fluctuating pension.
    Its time all politicians come back down to earth and rid the political perks and freebies out of politicis.
    My voting Figures for the Next state election.

    ALP 30%
    NLP 60%
    Greens 7%
    others 3%
