LNP campaign was ‘somewhat derailed’ by abortion issue

Sky News contributor Des Houghton says the Liberal National Party will have a “comfortable” win of 10 to 13 seats despite the fact the abortion issue “somewhat derailed” the campaign.

The month leading up to the Queensland election had the LNP as the strong front-runner for office, but polling released yesterday showed Labor has narrowed the gap.

“The abortion issue derailed the campaign somewhat – I think it was over six or eight months ago when Annastacia Palaszczuk was toppled,” Mr Houghton told Sky News Australia.

“I still believe the LNP will end up with a 10 or 13-seat majority over all the other members of parliament.

“I think the win will be comfortable.”

Abortion isn't really a major issue for Queenslanders. Cheaper prices and affordable housing is what we want. Stop sleeping around being irresponsible.

What is the argument? Right to life unless the mother is medically in danger or due to crime! Promiscuity is not an excuse to kill a human being... period!

How - Miles could not talk about any of his legacy policies or labors legacy policies - that worked or were any good. So he simply shifted to emotion. Where all he is does is Emotional damage. Which is how labor operate.

They wont confront their lies - or their past. As it has to many problems - they can't or wont answer or fix. Which tells you as a government - they are done. And they have nothing left in the tank. He did not talk about - infrastructure - housing - transport - the economy - mining - manufacturing - health - education - law & order.

He goes into his political "safe place" some offshoot policy - that really is the personal choice - of women - have to discuss with their doctor. And their own life choices. Again politics - talking about issues - that they don't have to confront. And taking on a very personal private issue - as though - it's like - any other policy.

Again the labor game - deny who you are. And drag out some obscure idea - and say - it is everything - that affects people's lives. The desperation falling out him - tells you he has no idea - what he is doing. This comes straight out of the current - POTUS election campaign in the U.S.. He plagiarised this policy - from someone's else's election campaign. Again - a very lazy - lying politician.
