Highly likely that Miles will be the new Premier. Dick doesn’t have the numbers.

It means another cabinet reshuffle which is always exciting.

Her replacement is a deadset plodder, the LNP will win the next election up here in a landslide.

So, the wicked witch of the north is gone. Her replacement, a schoolboy who needs his mum to do up his tie. That's three state leaders this year who threw in the towel for lifetime cushy jobs.

Sounds like when Ardern got chased outta town in NZ. Outsiders bleating she was the greatest thing with a womb to have ever walked the planet. Reality for insiders was vastly different. Only now can they repair damage.

He's a merkin, but a smug highly intelligent one. He isn't a plodder by any stretch. The same can't be said for other ministers in QLD.

He must take his brain out before he’s interviewed on TV then, because he comes across as a f**king deadset idiot. Leading up to the federal election he was deadset embarrassing.

Well, he is a doctor.

Ol' mate Miles is the patsy.....the offering to the gods. It's for the Libs to lose. I'll shout free beers at the Belvedere if the Libs lose next year.

There’s talk that Mangocube will be gone. I don’t think Smuggy Miles is a fan and it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s had pressure to arsehole him from the unions.

They said he was f**kwit. They said he had tin ears. They said that he was building a dirt road that needed a 6 lane freeway.

I know there are factions on here who either don’t understand or elect to ignore the butterfly effect of world economics, but there are actual economic indicators aka a small window into the Aussie future that can’t be ignored.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Donald Trump will be elected and we won't see all these wars that are happening with Biden in charge.
China are holding off knowing when Trumps in he will negotiate with them also.
