In this morning's Curious Mail there was a suggestion that the Chinchilla Solar project will be iced. Killing off 300-450 jobs. This could put a hole in Campbell's 4 percent unemployment target.

Labor is on the nose is true. Their ideas were unpopular especially if they were trying to fix some world problems on a local and state level. Selling State assets is a case in point.

Campbell has a (many) problem(s) there are some very old stagers in the LNP who want revenge for years in the political wilderness and some very new people who want quick bucks because they won't be there in three years time.

On ABC RN program Religion and Ethics yesterday they interviewed a new MP who was also a former Executive Officer, Lutheran Church of Australia. His priority is to wind back the Civil Unions Bill. Apparently it is not Campbell's highest priority. The cracks are beginning to appear. I lost a bet I said the cracks would appear by the weekend. Darn. Later in the interview he was reminded that he was not the most high profile Lutheran in parliamentary history. So they riffed on Joh BP. The pastor then said 'Was was there corruption in his administration well yes there probably was. I think the Fitzgerald Inquiry showed that” I choked on my popcorn. I am going to have to choose another snack food if I am to survive the next three years.
