Ipswich is as west as Labor is left. Queensland is not just the South East.
Considering there's three seats between Ipswich and the border, yeah it kind of is the west in an electoral sense.

EDIT: Beaten by the dav.

Also, it hasn't been a good 12 months for PHON. They've had constant gently caress up after gently caress up; they're bleeding candidates left and right, constant in-party conflicts, Rod Culleton shat the bed for them and the WA election, while actually a decent outcome for PHON, wasn't the glorious victory they had been hyping it up to be.

During the federal election, they were enjoying that boost of swing voter love but now that's gone. The longer the QLD ALP put off the state election, the worse PHON's situation will be because they cannot hold a party together long enough.

Do we have evidence that PHON voters pay attention to the news other than the sports pages?
Actually, they just read wordpress blogs and Infowars now days.

Also channel 7 had some deal with them that gave Pauline heaps of screen time.
I get the strong feeling a producer or exec at Channel 7 loves Pauline Hanson, she's had constant airtime on Sunrise and got a place on that dancing reality TV show. There'd have to be someone high up pushing for that kind of support.

It was arguably her regular spot on sunrise that gave rise to the current iteration of One Nation.
I might be wrong on this, but her spot on Dancing with the Stars was basically her first major TV appearance after her conviction was appealed. That basically brought her back into the spotlight, after which her Sunrise appearances started up.

I love (do not love) this idea that 'students' are like a class of people; like being a student is not, in fact, an activity, a period of one's life that Australians from all cultural, economic, and professional classes have gone through. And that the whole point of it isn't that you're supposed to spend your whole time studying so that you can earn money in the future which is why no-one expects students to have money to "contribute to budget repair," whatever the gently caress that means. And that being a student isn't supposed to happen BEFORE your career so of course you don't have any money yet to "invest" in an education. And and and etc. etc.

I mean these people understand all this, they're just liars and scumbags and don't care so what's the point.
Imagine if state governments came out complaining about high school students being a drain on the budget, "These people don't contribute to our budget, its about time they pulled their weight in society.".

How long before Latham manages to piss off this new group of mates he's found? It's like watching someone constantly trying to see just how far they can fall.
