Curiouser and curiouser in Queensland

"The crux of the report is laid out on page 11 which outlines the role of government. It states that the Queensland Government should "provide core services such as policing, public safety, emergency and justice services, which have a strong public good element".

Everything else - including education, health, prisons, housing, community services and public transport - should be encouraged to be done by the private sector."

You can usually count on Greg Jericho to shed some light on things. If political polling is to be believed this is what the majority of Australians want for the entire country, assuming that those polled realise that election of an LNP government in Canberra will inflict an identical set of policies on the nation at large. Lewis and Woods presented the results of targeted polling showing a clear majority of Australians want the opposite flavour of policies so it would appear that this assumption is not realistic.

Election of an LNP government in Canberra would be an unmitigated disaster for this country on so many horizons that I would hope that the electorate delivers the appropriate result. The conflicting polls suggest both the existence of a silent majority which is never asked the question and an ALP unable to use the media as the tool it has become to get its message out. Does the electorate really want this result, which a vote for the LNP will inevitably deliver?
