It's just amazing that Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman wants to be a Liberal one day, but not the next.He was flailing his arms around like one of those compressed air 'cheering' mannequins at the football, when he was on stage introducing John Howard at the Liberal Party launch in Brisbane 3 weeks ago.
He bagged the Labor Party and swore allegiance to the Party he was born into - the Liberals.
Even the during the week leading up to the Federal election, he was busy writing to every voter in the Moreton electorate telling people to vote for his Liberal mate Gary Hardgrave.
But what's happened since the Federal bloodbath? Newman has simply disowned the Liberal Party.
He refuses to comment about his party's performance at the Federal level and when asked to provide commentary on his State Liberal colleagues' performance, he uses the old Basil Fawlty trick of pretending to faint!
Newman's just advertised to recruit Liberal candidates for 3 unwinnable Brisbane City Council Wards. He might find 3 bunnies - but one thing's for certain - the Liberal Party logos on their campaign literature will be minuscule!
