FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Premier Anna Bligh is taking her claim that she is in the battle of her life literally by attending boot camp in Mackay.
She joined local women for an hour long session, which included burpees and plank jacks, on the banks of the Pioneer River from 5am (AEST).
The premier, on the third day of the election trail, is visiting central Queensland’s safe seats as she works her way north.
Mackay is held by Agriculture Minister Tim Mulherin by a 16.7 per cent margin.
Ms Bligh will face tough questions on Tuesday on how the ALP selected Peter Watson, 19, for the seat of Southern Downs, after it was discovered he allegedly posted neo-nazi remarks on the blog, Whitelaw Towers.
The Australian reported that Mr Watson, who is the secretary of the Warwick branch of the ALP, had never hidden his racial-based views about Australia.
“I regard myself as a white nationalist, not a supremacist, and that 40 years of multiculturalism has destroyed this country,” he told the paper.
“My views were the same as the trade union movement in the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, particularly with the White Australia policy.”
Mr Watson quit as a candidate on Monday night and Labor will be seeking his resignation from the party.
“We were unaware of these allegations when he was endorsed late last year,” state secretary Anthony Chisholm said in a statement.
“Nonetheless, I have accepted his resignation so this issue does not distract from the important issues confronting Queenslanders during this election campaign.”
The ALP will announce a new candidate for the seat soon, Mr Chisholm says.
The man who wants Ms Bligh’s job, Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman, has also started his day at the crack of dawn with a work-out in north Queensland.
He went for a run along the Esplanade in Cairns with LNP candidate for the seat Gavin King.
Mr Newman is expected to campaign in the region for three days before returning to Brisbane on Friday.
