PAULINE HANSON said she would quit politics for good after losing the seat of Beaudesert in the Queensland election yesterday.

The former One Nation leader polled third behind the winner, the Liberal National Party's Aidan McLindon and Labor's Brett McCreadie.

With three-quarters of the vote counted, Ms Hanson had polled 21.7 per cent of the primary vote.


About bloody time! Though I think I'd like it in writing, witnessed by a JP. Now if only she'd disappear completely. I'd be happy if I never have to see or hear of her again.

And YAY, Anna Bligh. First elected female premier in Australia.

THANK YOU, Queensland!

Went out tonight and everyone was saying it looked like a hung parliament. I am so relieved!

I was reasonably hopeful about it. I'd been reading a politics blog and Antony Green was saying that he thought the 2-party preferred polling figures for Queensland were next to useless, plus the LNP needed at least 53% anyways. So the polling even if accurate meant that they couldn't win. But there was still that little bit of worry.

And so so happy about Anna Bligh.

I'm a spontaneous hugger. You can imagine how bad that would be ;)

It was a very stressful week, very. Not a good atmosphere at all :(

So it's a relief for everyone.
