An indication of the sheer desperation in the Queensland government election is the claim by Premier Campbell Newman that bikie gangs are backing the ALP with donations through the CFMEU. Sound familiar ? Remember the voters of Victoria were recently repeatedly warned by the Coalition , state and Federally , that the CFMEU were running the ALP in that state and that the union monsters were against the grand East-West autobahn .

In another bumbling move , the voters of Queensland have been threatened by the premier that all those super duper projects promised in the electorates could shrink to a few core values ( who dat used the expression in a previous Federal Coalition regime ? ) if the local Tory candidate gets the boot .

And former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett committed a political blue by saying Queensland Premier Campbell Norman is doing a stupendous job . No wonder the Newman election circus has treated Prime Minister Tony Abbott like a leper after his latest blunder which saw him go out on a limb and make the Duke an Aussie knight . With the head honcho in Bananaland showing increased signs of going ape , who needs the Mad Monk in town?
