Despite Michael Crook’s observation, Anna Bligh’s “job” would not be threatened in the way implied. I believe that Bligh’s only hope of re-election will be via a timely change of mind about the criminal code on abortion and a straight out election promise to change the law. That way the Queensland public (women in particular) can help themselves to a personal conscience vote and won’t have anyone but themselves to blame for the result. It’s easy Anna. Take the reins, you can do it.

Politicians need to realise that the voting public will not vote against a party which removes abortion from the Criminal Act.
Analysis of the Monbulk electorate in the Victorian elections of 1983 showed that only 3% of voters will vote for a right to life candidate while at least half the electorate broke their voting ticket to put the freedom to choose candidate Dr Bert Wainer above the right to life candidate.
Queensland politicians should realise that the majority of the electorate is intelligent and understanding and will accept the policy Freedom to Choose an abortion.

The only policies in Queensland are those decided by Bill Ludwig’s AWU (Labor Forum) mafia. Bill has the numbers so Bill has the say and it doesn’t matter a toss what anyone else thinks or does, including the premier, if she wants to keep her job.
So those lazy people on the Left, including the Left unions, who have no say about anything should get off their rears, split the party and form a Green Left coalition to take to the next election, because there is no way that the AWU will relinquish any vestige of it’s control. ps If a LNP government had tried to privatise the state assets that Labor is to privatise there would have been riots in the street.
