The Bjelke-Peterson government traumatised the gently caress out of the greater Brisbane area in the 70s and 80s and as a result the most densely populated region in QLD is hesitant to vote LNP at the state level. Federal politics doesn't have the same dynamic.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
There is still a weirdly large proponent of folks who like to vote for a different party in the state than is in power federally. Back when I did opinion polls, I never quite understood that one.

Why is there such a difference in QLD between the Fed and State elections? Seems Lab is much more competative in the State election?

The more immediately apparent effects of LNP ratfucking of services mostly. State services tend to be the ones people deal with more often so the impacts of them being gutted tend to be more obvious

This too although the lingering stink of the LNP on rurall areas has been dissapting and going to independents and KAP/ONP since Newman, people really didn't like how quickly he threw the term mandate around. Presumably the unicameral thing makes voters behave differently too.

Yeah it's hard to win government in Qld if you piss off the public service unions.

Liberals, Nationals and LNP have been bumbling idiots for 30 years while Labor has been marginally competent. The National Borbidge government was in it's first term then ONP was created and hosed it over at the its first election. Newman won but blew after.

The idea is that it "balances out," which... I think is probably one of the less dumb reasons for being a swing voter

The Harvey Bay region swung hard to Labor and inner city Brisbane swung to the Greens. Nobody in the greater Brisbane region wanted to risk an LNP government when there's a pandemic on.

expect it to all shake out with the greens having two seats and labor having 49. I guess it's possible the greens will get one more but I'm not holding my breath. Still a great result.

Clive paying mining royalties to Queenslanders the long way round.
But it was fun thinking about how many people voted for one of his candidates who was called Phil Collins for the wrong reason.
