I liked Rudd. He was a good leader. Gillard is a disaster though.

Federal politics has minimal influence on state politics and vice versa, the trends overwhelming say so. Anyone who argues otherwise, such as yourself, is stupid.

This is gonna be an awkward ALP Opposition. Everyone's gonna end up with like 4 portfolios, especially because QLD is unicameral.

I think Labor would have won if Bruce Hawker was still managing the campaign.

No fucking way. :p

ABC has it at LNP 78, ALP 7, KAP 2.

That's ridiculous. There's not gonna be an Opposition backbench (especially since QLD is unicameral and has no MLCs to give portfolios to). And some of the LNP members will likely be sitting on the Opposition side of the House.

Whoever becomes leader of the opposition now has the easiest job in the world, just say no for four years than watch a 8%+ swing roll in at the next election. With a caucus this small it shouldn't be hard to keep everyone happy and stave off leadership challenges either.
