The 65 electoral districts excluded from the table (for reasons of lack of space) are all of this type of count. (a) Refers to the two cases where the two-party preferred count was between Labor and One Nation. Thus in Bundamba the Labor winner received 21,507 votes where the one Nation loser received 8,922 votes. (b) Refers to the three cases where the two-party preferred count was between Labor and KAP. That was actually the case in Hill and Traeger. In Hinchinbrook, by contrast, the count was between KAP and LNP with KAP getting 19,064 votes and LNP 10,374. So whereas LNP needs a swing of 14.8% my estimate is that Labor needs a swing of 19.3% to take the seat from KAP. (c) Refers to the two cases of seats won by The Greens where the count was between LNP and Greens. That was actually the case in Maiwar. In South Brisbane, by contrast, the count was between Greens and Labor with Macmahon getting 18,450 votes and Trad 14,886. So whereas Labor needs a swing of 5.4% the LNP needs an estimated swing of 18.5% to take the seat from The Greens. (d) Refers to the unique case where the final count included an independent, Ms Sandy Bolton who won the seat. The LNP needs a swing of 15.9% to take it. My two-party preferred count is my estimate between Labor and LNP. Labor, therefore, is shown to need a swing of 6.9% to take the seat from a notional LNP member. For Pendulum see other side.

  • How the Sunshine Coast Beat the Gold Coast on Getting More Money the Sunshine Coast Was the Big Winner out of the State Budget Compared to the Gold Coast
    OPINION Revealed: How the Sunshine Coast beat the Gold Coast on getting more money The Sunshine Coast was the big winner out of the State Budget compared to the Gold Coast. And there may be a shocking reason why, writes Paul Weston. Paul Weston, Gold Coast Bulletin Subscriber only | December 3, 2020 12:00am THE Sunshine Coast was the big winner out of the State Budget compared to the Gold Coast. Take a deep dive through the Budget papers and look at the infrastructure spend. This raises more serious questions about whether Labor suddenly feels unloved by you and me on the Glitter Strip. Canoes on Noosa Beach. On the breakdowns provided in Palaszczuk Government’s regional action plan, the Sunshine Coast will in the next 12 months get $1.6 billion in infrastructure, which will create an estimated 5200 jobs. By comparison, the Gold Coast is looking at $1.13 billion in capital works. About 3500 jobs will be provided here. In health, there is a massive difference in the capital works budget. At least $5.2 billion in funding for the Sunny Coast and only $1.7 billion on the Goldie. New satellite hospitals will be built at Bribie Island and Caboolture, almost $30 million to be pumped into improving Redcliffe Hospital, more than $27 million at the Sunshine Coast Hospital and $22 million at Nambour. Noosa Main Beach. Picture: TEQ/Mark Fitz Escape. The Coast health service is to get $1.7 billion for improvements, including about $2.3 million for much needed mental health units at Gold Coast University Hospital and $6.5 million on upgrading facilities at Robina Hospital.

    MICHAEL BERKMAN ​MP Queensland Greens Member for Maiwar 31 October 2018 Hon Mark Bailey MP Minister for Transport and Main Roads GPO Box 2644 BRISBANE QLD 4001 Via email: ​[email protected] Dear Minister Bailey, I am writing to convey concerns expressed by one of my constituents in relation to the roundabout that connects Boundary Road, Rouen Road and Rainworth Road. I understand that, given this is a State controlled road forming part of the regional road network, some issues such as crossings and signage may overlap State and local government jurisdiction. Accordingly, I am contacting both you and Paddington Ward Councillor Peter Matic to request assistance addressing the concerns outlined below, in the hope that this matter may be resolved quickly. I understand from my constituent, James, that cars frequently speed through the roundabout, either ignoring or unaware of the pedestrian crossing. James tells me he recently had a near-miss incident at the roundabout while pushing his 8 week old daughter in her pram; two cars rapidly passed through the roundabout, apparently unaware of him standing and waiting at the edge of the crossing. He believes that if he had exercised the right of way afforded by the pedestrian crossing, he and his daughter could have been seriously injured. Locals also tell me there are other issues with traffic along Boundary and Rouen Roads in that residential area, and in particular trucks frequently using their engine brake systems. Are you able to advise whether there are any existing plans to upgrade roads or improve signage in this area, or to undertake other traffic management strategies to accommodate this growing residential community? I would also request that your department: 1.
