I've been doing a lot of I told you so lately to people regretting their decision to vote LNP at the last election.
The result is in the past and has been talked about enough I feel.
A lot of the decisions his government has made re: the public service do not surprise me at all. I think most people agree that something needed to be done about it, but I also think he is using his mandate to give some of his mates jobs and project his values onto the institutions in questions.
It would be naive to think that any political party coming into power would do any different, but that still doesn't make it right.
I am a bit worried by our new attorney general Jarrod Bleijie. His recent plans have been widley condemned by the legal community, and although I am no expert in the area, I feel he is trying to create a image in people's minds that we are in the midst of a crime spree, when in fact crime rates are low and there is more than enough power within the current laws to deal with criminals.
I would be interested to hear what my fellow Queensland posters think about the new Government?
