IN travelling through ORmiston CLeveland and Capalaba found a few LNP corflutes up but no other evidence of campaigning visible today. .
I heard that Trade UNions and ALP have commercial BIllboards booked and neither are very happy with paying for them with no election occurring at moment.
My source for this info has been predicting an October election for twelve months while I have been predicting a February election.
However the booking itself and failure to utilize indicates ALP have a policy driven campaign in mind and are not revealing the details till Writs are issued. .
no onp candidate
LNP retain.
