Must be a good move for politics

The entry of Campbell Newman into state politics has uncovered the sceptics and fearmongers that walk amongst us! Fancy breaking with tradition and doing something different in politics?
But let’s face it, prior to this unheard of event, the LNP was in near death mode and Anna Bligh was flying dangerously too high.
We have seen in just a few days that the LNP can be resuscitated and motivated and Anna and her team, facing competition, have flown back down to reality.
So this occurrence, whilst different, is also innovative and has already stimulated positive reactions within the major parties which must be good for politics in Queensland.

Anne Lindsay,
Stanthorpe
