FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott cherishes the day Campbell Newman won power in Queensland and says the conservatives are ready to take the nation.
The Liberal National Party (LNP) on Friday opened its three-day state convention in Brisbane, with all those attending gushing over the overwhelming success of the party after 14 years in opposition in Queensland.
Mr Newman, who was unusually late, entered the arena to the forgiving party faithful who gave him backslaps and chanted his name.
The former military man revealed his six-month plan for the state, which puts fighting crime at its heart.
Crime Stoppers will be renewed, 300 more police recruited and new laws to stop the “scourge” of a new wave of synthetic drugs.
There would also be tougher penalties for hoons, for those engaging in child pornography, and for traffickers in sex and drugs.
“Criminals should be afraid of the LNP,” Mr Newman said.
A new ministerial code of conduct will also be released in the coming days, demanding a clear separation between the government and the party’s executive.
The pledge came as a result of Mr Newman having admonished Public Works Minister Bruce Flegg for sending in LNP treasurer Barry O’Sullivan to review the books of two government corporations.
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk described the incident as a new low for the Newman government, particularly as Dr Flegg admitted his mistake but was not being sacked.
A number of controversial motions were passed by LNP members, including the rejection of an “implied threat” to the Great Barrier Reef by UNESCO and calling for climate change “propaganda” to be removed from schools.
They also want the government to require that union officials make details of their income known to its members.
The Queensland Council of Unions dismissed Mr Newman’s 10-page document as being just planning and priorities with no big announcement.
And the opposition took a dig that the premier will no doubt break promises, especially his commitment to govern with humility, dignity and grace.
But nothing could rain on the LNP parade.
Mr Abbott, who was introduced as the “next primer minister of Australia”, came onto the stage following what appeared to be a campaign ad, backed by a hymn-like jingle promising the party will restore hope, reward and opportunity.
The federal opposition leader said he’d never forget the March 24 election, when Labor was reduced to fewer seats than in a Toyota Tarago.
“Never was it more truly said of Queensland: beautiful one day, perfect the next,” he told the crowd.
Mr Abbott said he could “feel it in the streets” that the Australian people were willing the conservatives to succeed.
“We stand on the threshold of riding to the rescue of our country,” he said.
Mr Abbott could take on the advice of the LNP’s campaign state director Michael O’Dwyer who said the success could be whittled down to its campaign ad’s 18-word catchphrase.
The ad featured heavily in television commercials and Mr Newman opened every press conference with the words: “After 20 years of Labor, it’s time for a change, it’s time to get Queensland back on track.”
Campaign manager James McGrath warned new MPs who captured traditional Labor seats that they’d have to entrench themselves as there might be fall-out from “tough decisions made” in the coming months.
