Qld Queensland State Election 2024

And Byron bay is basically south east queensland. Brisbane and gold coasters regularly spend our weekends down there.

Geographically, sure. In culture, it's extremely different. The only place in SEQ I'd argue is similar in culture to Byron is somewhere like Maleny.

So scare campaigns are a good thing now?

Two pages ago scare campaigns were horribly immoral.

We all know the truth.

It bad when the other side uses it. When it's our side, it's a smart tactic.

Robbie Katter brought it up, Crisafulli could have knocked it on the head and didn't. I'm not sure how this qualifies as a Labor scare campaign, it was gifted to them a platter by their opponents.

South east queensland has heaps of places that are wildy care free, deeply anti vaxer and have an unusual affinity for purple crystals just like byron. Maleny, mt tamborine, numerous parts of the gold coast (pretty much most of the gold coast outside of surfers and broadbeach). And that doesnt even count the areas that voted greens at the last federal election in brisbane.

Plus pretty much most of the people living in the byron shire and visiting the byron shire are ex south east queenslanders.

Its a scare campaign if its not their policy but the other party is pretending it is.

You dont have to knock it on the head (we all know the fringes in both parties dont like things knocked on the head even though in reality we all know it aint happening). There simply isnt a big enough religious vote to unwind abortion policy in any state in australia.

We don't know what Crisafulli's policy is if he won't tell anyone, this is on him.

The policies are the ones they are running on. I.e. mostly on anti crime. And not wasting billions building stadiums and then tearing them down again for the olympics.

The one area which labor should of really focused on was nuclear plants.

The qld libs might not be campaigning on nuclear plants but given the fed libs are and planning on putting two in south east qld then labor really should of pushed this hard. We all know the qld libs arent going to fight against the fed libs when push comes to shove.

You say urban educated elite like its a bad thing. Education is a great thing. Educated people know more then non educated people. We should listen to educated people.

Ps. The urban educated elite are the ones advocating for removing religious subsidies and taxing resource rents.

Educated people know more about their SUBJECT than other people.

I've met more than my share of ( Tertiary ) educated morons.

And I do have a Tertiary education. Don’t conflate education with intelligence. In many cases it’s just persistence.

And in the ALP context I mentioned above, I definitely believe it to be a bad thing.
