Huh! Thats a bit of a populist swing. Not necessarily bad, just populist. Could work with voters. Might be an expensive ox-cart to pull on the otherside though.
@Gorgritch_umie_killa @PetulantBandicoot "Desperate times call for desperate measures". Qld Labor in a nutshell right now. Wonder what the next desperate move will be. I don't mind really as long as it's good for the citizens.
