Erroneous text message ( there are many ) in the Townsville Bulletin claimed that on Magnetic Island many political posters were vandalised, except for Labor and the Greens -another reason not to vote for them , said a person identified as R. G.
Well , Raving Gnu or R. G. Menzies , old wilful waffler , this is the true situation.
The corflutes of all parties have been attacked , as Little Darwin reported to our global audience. However in the case of Labor and the Greens , they went about quickly replacing ones pulled or damaged. In the case of the LNP , it was clear it did not do a daily check and replacement of its posters . It got to a stage where this Labor blogger picked up a double sided LNP poster for Phillip Thompson on the side of the road and gave it to an old friend on the island , a known LNP voter, ex-Navy , who had played footie in Darwin , knew the late and great editor of the Northern Territory News , Jim Bowditch. It is now positioned on his front lawn- a reason why you should vote for Cathy O'Toole of the ALP and the Greens .
