FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Kevin Rudd’s campaigning in the heart of Brisbane has again overshadowed the Queensland election campaign.
The former prime minister and his wife Therese Rein were mobbed by crowds in the city’s main shopping mall on Saturday.
Mr Rudd staged the public walk-through of the mall ahead of his leadership challenge with Julia Gillard at 10am (AEST) in Canberra on Monday.
On the campaign trail in Cape York Premier Anna Bligh refused to say who she was supporting and wouldn’t divulge whether she had spoken to either leader.
She wants the saga to be over on Monday, so the focus can again be on the Queensland election.
“I think both Kevin and Julia would have preferred none of this was happening, particularly during an election campaign for the state government in Queensland,” she told reporters.
The premier took a fishing trip on the Chapman River on the west coast of the Cape with traditional land owners.
She announced more rivers would be protected from development under a re-elected Labor government.
Meanwhile, the Liberal National Party (LNP) campaign had its own distractions.
LNP leader Campbell Newman hit the hustings with wife Lisa in the key Brisbane seat of Ashgrove to announce a $4 million program of community grants.
However, he spent most of his time defending the party’s decision to dump lawyer Cameron Caldwell from the seat of Broadwater on Friday.
Mr Caldwell says he was asked to resign over a visit to a Gold Coast swingers’ club but Mr Newman refused to reveal more details.
“We’ve set a high bar and I don’t want my team not living up to the standards that we’ve set,” he told reporters.
A member of a community group on hand for the LNP’s announcement then took aim at reporters for broaching the topic.
The man launched an unusual tirade at the gathered media, demanding they let Mr Newman talk about his policy or “shut up and go home”.
