What on earth did the Labor Party do to deserve this wipeout in Queensland?

What on earth did the Labor Party do to deserve this wipeout in Queensland? 

That's the thing... they might have deserved to lose... but this was not a NSW-level of incompetence.

Anyway, if you listen to what the LNP policies are... they're pretty much the same as the ALP... if only slightly tweaked... so I think this was an electorate that just didn't want to listen to the ALP any more.

I think the people of Queensland will realise creating a generation-long one-party state, yet again, is a big mistake.

So, basically, they want the same policies as the previous government -just with different faces and from a different party. 

That's one shallow electorate you have there....  Tongue

I am not sure how credible this source is (I assume it is), but here's an excellent article explaining the reasons for Labor's demise.

And it looks as if the two major center-right parties are getting concerned about the rise of Katter's Australian Party.

What exactly is the Australian Party, and what makes it more rightwing than either the Liberals or the Nationals?
