I did an interview yesterday with Steve Austin on ABC Radio yesterday on the coming Queensland State Election (which will probably be announced on Tuesday next week, but time will tell).

An interesting feature of this state election is the way that some rural Queenslanders have allied themselves with the urban Greens voters. This is not likely to be a long term alliance.

There has been a decrease in both Labor and LNP votes with a fair percentage of this going to the new Bob Katter's Australian Party. The LNP decreased from 49% to 43%, Labor from 24% to 20% and from nowhere Katter is now on 13% - three percent shy of the Greens.

 Queensland is poised to despatch the Bligh government. The question is how decisive this will be, and how soon Labor will deal itself back into a position where it can credibly mount a campaign for government at a future election.

The LNP appears to be cruising to victory at next year's state election, but maybe they are a bit too cruisy – it's not as good as it looks.
On the surface they have every reason to be relaxed. Surveys of our online virtual focus groups say that only 10% of voters expect Labor to win the next election; that around 60% of them are going to vote directly or indirectly for the LNP; and that only 53% of those who voted Labor last time want Labor to win this time.

On balance Wayne Swan's sliver of surplus spent far more political capital than it saved. Australians have a nuanced view of government spending, understand that times are difficult, and aren't too concerned whether the government achieves a surplus or not.

The qualitative research shows respondents very much split between those who think the surplus has to give way to world events, and those who think paying back public debt is more urgent. As we see all the time debt is a concern for Liberal voters, and so not surprisingly they are the ones supporting a surplus on this basis most strongly.

In last week's Mid-Year Economic and Financial Outlook statement Wayne Swan promised to bring the budget back into surplus. How important is this promise to voters? We asked our panel and had 921 responses and apparently it is not that important at all.

We decided to do a poll with one of our recent articles. The article suggested that ABC Radio National programmes Sound Quality and Quiet Space should be axed.
