It about time the media started to tell the truth and also the two coaltion parties in opposition. If you live in Queensland you get unremitting anti Labor spin and untruths from the media and the opposition. We have the Murdoch controlled polling oragnisation and the Courier Mail plus the ABC which continually act to make molehills into mountains aganst the Labor Government with total spin in enverything so I can see the reason for their spin in the other direction. I wish that they all would tell the truth but I suspect that this is a forlorne hope.

Bullshit Bernard. I can tell you, from outside the Beltway, that every parent I know is scanning their school grounds looking for a sign that the govmint is pouring some of those rivers of gold into public education. A useless bloody library or shadecloth, when every teacher is overworked or on mat leave, and the aircon does not work, and kids have to wear gloves in class in winter and swelter in demountables in summer, who cares. Where is the sign? With an authorisation sticker, if it really matters to you media nutters. We want a sign! “Sticking up a sign won’t produce a single extra vote.”
