I still want a bill of rights: Here Here!

As one who was at Uni during some of the worst excesses during the Joh era in QLD, I know that despite the usually good level of personal rights here it does not take much for them to be removed.

The main problem with QLD politics is there is no upper house any more; the labour party voted it out in the \'20\'s. Once you have power, it\'s no holds bared until the next election.

I always have a level of discomfort with a party have the numbers in both houses federally.

I also have no illusions that the problem can only come from the right. The labour government that was defeated by the Country Party a few years before Joh took up the helm for 18 years was as bad, if not worse than what the Nationals would become.
