Announcing that he was determined to press on as Coalition leader despite the disappointing result, the 38-year-old Warwick farmer said: "I will be working with my colleagues to make sure that we position ourselves much better for Queenslanders in the future."

Although there was a protest vote in the electorate "it did not feel comfortable in coming to the Queensland Coalition".

And in one final election blunder, when he thanked his wife Linda and "three" children for their support, she lent forward and whispered: "Four." Mr Springborg gave an embarrassed grin and said: "Four children."

Don't know whether it's the weather or an arthritis flare, or a combo, but my fingers and toes are so sore today. Been taking the strong painkillers.

Anyone who intends to watch The Path to 9/11 (Channel 7 over the next 2 nights in Oz), be aware that it has a number of totally fictionalised and incorrect scenes. Scholastic, which did the classroom guides, have pulled them from the internet. Former President Clinton's lawyers have demanded it be pulled (they wouldn't send Clinton a preview tape (though he and his administration are featured), but Republicans did receive viewings). Even right wing media commentators have called for it not to be screened.

Some details can be found here and also many links can be found at twistedchick's journal.
