Smithy, thanks forasking injteligent and meaningful questions in your interviews, i thik that you are the only Journo who has the intelligence and determination ot make this Govt accountable, i wasa MKing supported butshe frustrats me because she will question the Govt when she is on air solo, but goes ot water when she has Fraser or Bligh in the studio, Keep at it Smithy Alan

Phil ,
I have just listened to the interview again.
What more could you expect but lies from Bligh.
I couldn't stop laughing except this is not funny.
She was told over a year ago that hear economic policies would stuff the state.
Did she listen then?
Is she listening now?
Will she ever listen?
The irony is , she will probably get re elected.
By hook or by crook.

I saw a young bloke stick his hand up on Q & A the other night and ask "How come every time we have a Labor Govt, everyone loses their job and the country goes broke"? Good question - it wasn't answered!! Bring on a double dissolution, Krudd.

Well folks, "Yuletide" is nigh - Nows the Season to be Jolly, Tra La La La La, its time when gifts are given, and as this is a Public Forum I thought it might be appropriate if some were given to regulars on the "Michael Smith Blog". Kevin (CK)udd - For his stoic persistence in attempting to gain a position of importance with the United Nations, Kevin receives a big gong - Wobblies McDaddy got the bigger one after being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Kevin donated 300 of our young men to keep the peace in Afghanistan, his rival 30,000 of Americas Finest, numbers win. Sorry Kev. Then there was Wenny Pong - Wobblies WRONG BONG - it, because me tinks M/s PONG/WRONG/BONG is not sure which road to take. After being booed, jeered and hissed by delegates from the African Nations in Copenhagen, she obviously took the WRONG one. Sorry Penny, nought for you!!!Anna BLIAR and her specially selected Cabinet of Fools and Wannabes. Anna will get a present at the next State Election, she will lead the Labour Party to anniahalation and go close to leaving the faithful with the least No. of Opposition M's.P in the House. WE the people - for the people will reward her. Theres one there for Robert Needham - he always seems to find that our Pollies are perfect and without sin. but I do hope that he has a taste for Humble Pie, next year will see a lot served on a platter. A Special for ex. Premier Beattie - still smiling like a Cheshire Cat - breaking into a full laugh - he left Anna with all the egg on her face; Was a time when it was said ONLY IN AMERICA now under Socialism - ONLY IN AUSTRALIA. *MERRY CHRISTMAS*

Firing; Thats the secret word today; and no doubt a word to be used more often when referenced to our sweet little publicity seeking Premier of Queenaland. This mob of Socialists continue to defy the electorate, and treat them with contempt. I was appalled yesterday Smithy when you revealed the grab by her many Press Secretaries to keep the activities of the Centaurs Search Ship the "Seahorse Spirit" so secret that only her Office will have the privelege of releasing snippets of information when they see fit so to do.
Yet again, the actions of a desperate woman, holding onto power by whatever means deemed appropriate;, indeed some out there object to the descriptive language I use when referring to Anna Bliar and Kevin "Kudd" who has now been recognized internationally as a teller of porky pies. Well sorry folks, but they are unmitigated swill, and personally I cannot wait for elections, both State and Federal; the people will vote with their hearts and get rid of the scum that eats at the very soul of democracy in this State and Country. And then there is Wenny Pong; surely we the people - for the people have had enough. ITS TIME.

Give Labor a healthy economy and they'll stuff it, that's about the only thing they're good at.
As for Qld being the smart state, I think not.
Qld's decline at the hands of Labor is out there for all to see.
