From Senator Andrew Bartlett, an in-depth assessment of the Brisbane results.

Despite the Liberals running as Campbell Newman's 'Can Do' candidates, rather than as Liberals, they will pleased that they now have the buffer of six very safe seats - McDowall, Chandler, Walter Taylor, Macgregor, Hamilton and Pullenvale - with a margin of over 20 per cent, plus another five with a margin of more than 10 per cent. In contrast, Labor now have very few safe seats, with only one – Morningside – clearly above a 10 per cent margin.

The Greens' Public Transport Shame File

The Greens have released a Liberal/Labor "Public Transport Shame File" as part of their campaign to win some wards, and make Jo Bragg Lord Mayor.

Labor/Liberal public transport shame file

The Greens today released the public transport shame list, proving that both Labor and Liberal have failed on public transport. Ms Jo Bragg, Greens Lord Mayoral Candidate said today, "The best guide to future action is past action, and the Greens have logged the disastrous record of Labor and Liberal on public transport issues and produced the shame file. It is hard to pick out the most nonsensical things the major parties have done as the shame list is so long."
