FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda At the halfway point of the Queensland election campaign, Campbell Newman is really starting to open up.
The Liberal National Party (LNP) leader has chatted on FM radio about his “hands-on” approach, not to politics but to his wife.
Mr Newman and his wife Lisa are fast gaining a reputation for public displays of affection.
The alternative premier promised he would stick to his affectionate ways in government if the LNP wins the March 24 poll.
“Well, I love her,” he explained on Mix FM in Townsville on Wednesday.
“I think there will be plenty of pashing.
“The fact that she likes to kiss me and I kiss her back, I don’t think that is the problem.”
Mr Newman then explained the “problem” – much to some listeners’ discomfort.
“I think the problem has been that I’ve got a hand that tends to go below the waist, and that has sort of attracted some interest, far too much interest,” he said.
Mr Newman later announced funding for the last tranche of his “royalties for the regions” policy.
The $40 million for drainage in flood-prone areas brings the total for regional improvements to $495 million over four years, plus an additional $60 million if the local and federal governments agree.
Labor will officially launch its campaign in Brisbane on Sunday, with Prime Minister Julia Gillard in attendance.
Kevin Rudd, her failed challenger as federal Labor leader, has been invited, but it’s not yet known if he will be there.
Ms Bligh was upbeat at the mid-point of her uphill battle to stay in power, boasting a more “grassroots” campaign than her opponent.
The premier faced more claims of deals for Labor mates on Wednesday, with LNP deputy leader Tim Nicholls questioning donations to Labor from lobbying firm Enhance Group.
Enhance is the company of former Labor deputy premier Jim Elder, accused on Tuesday of working behind the scenes of Hancock Resources Group’s purchase of the state’s forestry business.
Ms Bligh said Enhance had also donated to the LNP, as had been declared.
“If Mr Nicholls thinks that qualifies as a problem, then he better give the money back,” she said.
Centrebet on Wednesday gave updates on the betting in a number of Labor seats, including Treasurer Andrew Fraser’s seat of Mt Coot-tha, where he’s a rank $4.25 outsider.
Overall, Labor is a $10 outsider in head-to-head betting.
Mr Evans reports one punter put $1000 on anyone in the LNP other than Mr Newman or parliamentary leader Jeff Seeney to be premier after the election at $9.
Mr Nicholls didn’t help speculation about the LNP’s “plan B” issue on Wednesday, refusing to rule out stepping up to the leadership if Mr Newman fails.
“There are no sure things in politics,” he said.
