The vote by Australia in a UN committee puts the country at odds with the United States and Israel, and has angered Australia's Jewish lobby groups.

    avoid what happened in QLD to repeat on the national scale

    I wouldn't use Queensland as a barometer for the country, Labor were in power for ~29 of the last 34 years, while voting Liberal every election except 1990 and 2007

    Meanwhile they also put a three out of four Greens in the lower house federally last election

    Agree overall though, the 50 cent transport fares, school lunches etc. proposals were all very popular and saved Labor from a wipe out.
