Am I the only person to notice how the Liberal Party candidates in the lead up to these council elections seem to be completely disowning their roots? Hardly a mention of the party to be seen.

If you look at their giant billboards around Brisbane you can barely make out the tiny Liberal Party logo. There is big "Can Do" lettering. But the logos are at best the size of an A4 sheet of paper on billboards that can be the width of a house.

ALP crying crocodile tears over Hale Street Bridge

The ALP has been crying crocodile tears over the Hale Street Bridge construction. Residents of Indooroopilly and surrounding suburbs recently received two flyers in the mail deriding the Liberals' plans for the construction process. One from Ryan Ginard, ALP candidate for Walter Taylor and the other from local state member for Indooroopilly Ronan Lee.

These flyers point to hour long delays for commuters travelling along Coronation Drive from Toowong. These delays will stretch down Moggill Road and affect residents in Walter Taylor suburbs such as Chapel Hill, St Lucia, Indooroopilly and Taringa. There is no doubt that this could be the case if construction of the Hale Street Bridge proceeds. What these flyers fail to mention to residents is the complicity of the ALP in this potential traffic chaos!
