You and Anna Bligh might be right about an easily duped Queensland electorate but I wouldn't be so cocky. There's a lot of anger, particularly in the economically suffering south east tourist belt and the now-unemployed mining regions, about Labor's blatant opportunism and chutzpah. A political divide around bread and circuses on the Gold Coast may well be a fatal mistake for Labor.
