QLD Election Watch 2009

The Crime and Misconduct Commission has launched a probe into the role ALP candidate for Bulimba, Di Farmer, played in approving a $131k government grant to the Mitchelton Soccer Club.

The grant was allegedly the price of club president Rohan Clarke's vote in the pre-selection of boy Treasurer Andrew Frasers' chief of staff Michael Dart - for the council ward of Enoggera.

Must have hurt when, after all of that effort, he lost the election to 23 year old Liberal kid Andrew Wines.

This could hurt Captain Bligh who is facing a mutiny from Queensland voters; however it is a little early to get too excited - after all Beattie won despite the Shepherdson Enquiry into vote rorting - something with which the Premier's chief of staff is quite familar.
