Re: That speech?
Don't start me, I had a stand up row with one of our Media Liaison officers on the subject this week........it included pointing out that a certain politician telling a group of Victorians who had come up to work with us that "I appreciate all you Queenslanders standing together" might not be a good move
I've been impressed by Bligh generally though.

Re: That speech?
It was not so much the words she uttered but how she delivered them and I found it very sincere and uplifting.
A politician showing emotion? Can it be true?
I have run her down no end as QLD premier but credit where it's due. She is performing magnificently in this turmoil and under what must be tremendous pressure.

Re: That speech?
then I pointed out that our office currently had several Victorians helping out, and furthermore if she went to Vic to help and they kept saying "thanks to our fellow Victorians" then as a non-Victorian how would she feel.....Media girl shuffled off quietly, point well and truly made!

Re: That speech?
I used to not have a lot of time for Anna Bligh but I think through this she has been honest, upfront with her 2 hourly news conferences. She has been emotional and it has been honest emotion.
Most of all she looks bloody knackered! You know she has been working damn hard to look as tired as she had been.
Most of all, she lives here. Her family were in the thick of it being evac`d adn she stood there infront of QLD and did her job.
Thats enough for me!
