:If you have one, please upload it!  We have a similar problem with all the politicians photos in that it has to have the copyright fully released so the only sure way to get a good picture is for someone to upload a photo that they have taken themselves.

message: ===Successes (government-wise, not politically)===
*Encouragement of research & innovation
*Securing Virgin Blue to base its operations in Brisbane
*Environmental record
*Decrease in crime? (need to check)
===Failures===
*Child safety crisis - dealt with in 2004 election section, but needs more citation
*Health crisis - good depth already
*Energy crisis - predictions 
*Water crisis - criticism as well as outline of his steps to address the issue (e.g. water grid, proposed desalination)
*Palm Island death in custody crisis - his subsequent intrusion into the legal process caused unrest among policemen, who blamed his Government's inadequate police funding
*Criticism for failure to adequately invest in infrastructure (refs from economic analyst/business group) - e.g. port bottlenecks
These are some ideas to expand the article further. If I have time I will start adding this info in with appropriate citations. Brisvegas 09:19, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Failures

message: His first act as Opposition leader was to move a motion in Parliament preventing the new Coalition government under Rob Borbidge from calling an early election. Labor feared that an early election could give the Coalition an outright majority. The motion carried.
: Can someone explain this to me?  How can the Parliament prevent the Premier from advising the Governor to call an election at any time of his choosing, unless the State Constitution forbids it, which doesn't seem to be the case in Queensland.  What effect did that motion have, in real terms?  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 00:53, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
