Campbell Newman responds to Labor's negative attack ads

[markdavie86]

Yes, its nice not to see a smear campaign for a change... hopefully Queensland can see through the negativity coming out of the Labour camp. Although they are bashing the Clem 7, bankrupt or not, the tunnel is there. The Go Between Bridge rarely gets mentioned because it was actually a success. It's nice to see someone campaigning about policy for a change!

[MightyJosh1985]

A really good ad. Newman did it right in the way he responded to it. A+ there

[cutandruncampbie]

PS - and I do give a toss that the little guy is running in my electorate.  I made the mistake by voting for him as Mayor after he promised to fix Waterworks Road - he is C"ANT Do

[2010TheSpade]

@cutandruncampbie Ah so that's it well maybe Mr Newman if elected for Ashgrove and waterworks Rd runs strait through the guts of it might fix your problem what is wrong with waterworks Road interested and why hasn't Kate the sitting member done anything if your case is substantial.

[cutandruncampbie]

You gotta admit that his eyes are very close together - but so are Ricky Ponting's - it must be aTassie thing.

[infoliteral]

Corruption must pay off

[cutandruncampbie]

You're deadset 100% correct - little campbie isn't running for the Labor Party as you may have suspected, given his fiscal car crashes he oversaw as Mayor of Brisbane. He is a little guy from Tassie (which might explain why his eyes are so close together). He is not an Ashgrove local and he is not even from a the Sunshine State - he doesn't get to yell QUEENSLANDER!! at Suncorp, he doesn't know the Broncos from the Reds and as like everyone else he doesn't use a City Cycle or the Clem7.

[2010TheSpade]

@cutandruncampbie You seem to have it in for Newman but everyone can decide their choice but your argument is fruitless if he was so bad as Brisbane Lord Mayor why do the majority of Brisbane want him as Premier, Poll after Poll state this. The bottom line government is a business like any other just on a massive scale look at the labor party hardly any real business people from proven business backgrounds this is why this state is in debt for 85B We need business leaders NOW VOTE LNP

[2010TheSpade]

@cutandruncampbie The fact that Campbell Newman doesn't come form Queensland and cant in your mind back Queensland or Ashgrove is ludacris, who give's a toss where he was born I don't care if he is from the Nullarbor, Its about who can do this job and turn this state around.

[cutandruncampbie]

@2010TheSpade - other that come to mind are the Clem7 (saw someone using last week), The Go Between Bridge - a cracking piece of work that one. The old Milton tennis courts (waterfront property with a toxic ordor), Tennyson Reach, $15 mill is a steal for waterfront property with such deep water anchorage, I don't know why Mirvac let it go so cheaply. King George Sq is a fav as well. No idea why his inlaws haven't got the little guy to get it rezoned so they can put 1 bed units there.

[2010TheSpade]

@cutandruncampbie I don't think you are from Queensland since when is Campbell Newman running the Labor party I asked for Labor belly up projects with nothing to show for the waste of countless millions instead you give me the Brisbane counsel portfolio you seem not to see any difference in completed projects against labors waste of $Ms while Campbell Newman delivered seven out of seven balanced budgets

[cutandruncampbie]

TheSpade - So you admit QR National is running well as a Labor inspired business with a profit of $349.5 million? Now on ya bike or City Cycle. toot toot!!!!!!!!!!

[2010TheSpade]

@cutandruncampbie LOL is that the best you can do woops

[cutandruncampbie]

City Cycles do indeed exist but not even pixies, elves or hobbitts ride them. I'm not a Labor fan at all but I'm certainly no campbie fan either. If City Cycles are a business what is their current P and L?

And if 2010TheSpade wants an example of a Labor inspired business he/she should look no further than QR National. It's going like a train.................

[2010TheSpade]

@cutandruncampbie QR National was running at a loss under State Labor repeat a loss $36.8m in 2009 2010 before labor sold off 66% of the shares now it make profit well go figure seem when there not in control it's made a profit of $349.5 million. Now tell me how many labor projects have wasted our millions and millions dollars with not even a bicycle to show for it.

[2010TheSpade]

This ad in nothing compared to how low labor will sink to try and win the coming election sit back and watch. People are not stupid at least the bikes exist and are a running business.

Tell me Labor people the tally of how many QLD labor projects have completely fail and have cost us, yes us the tax payer countless millions I dare you.

[swiftyXify]

another politicion talking shit hes so in love with him self i bet he hugs him self in the mirror fuck him and fuck bligh might vote crazy old katter this time

[cutandruncampbie]

Can't believe little campbie walked past the City Cycle and didn't ride it. Well I guess no one does.

[bobbyjajay1]

this guys an idiot

[mort89]

I feel like you are shooting yourself in the foot by claiming a smear... The video you posted on November 6 2011 is more aggressive than the ad against you...

Also, $330... try harder guys... That equates to $6.35 a week... Big saving for QLD families! That will put so much back in our pockets...

[nitramluap]

How about relaxing the Nanny State bicycle helmet law so that the CityCycle bikes are no longer used as a political pawn - free them from this daft Labor law.

[jjeerrmmuu]

Has anyone got a link to the original ad ripping on Newman? I'm trying to favourite it for later, but I can't find it.

[ehstronghold]

@jjeerrmmuu Search for "CanDo- Imagine what he CanDo to a state."

[jjeerrmmuu]

@ehstronghold Thank you very much.

[happygreenbean101]

Gooo Campbell!! He is the leader we need to get QLD back on track.

[cutandruncampbie]

Campbell bolted when the work needed to be done. Mayor Quirk has done all the good work and shown leadership, all Campbell did during the floods was got in front of cameras where other people were doing the hard work. His leadership skills are to lead from behind and use others as cannon fodder. Tim Nicholls will be a good if not great Premier and Clown Campbell won't even win Ashgrove.

[fir3mandan]

I don't care what the other Yobbos have said, it is good to hear an add that isn't about pulling someone else down. This ad wasn't done in hollywood but who cares? We just need some good leaders in the country. Don't you remember how Campbell stepped up when he was mayor last year during the floods? It really does show good leadership.

[cutandruncampbie]

This must be the only vision or photo of Campbie that Lisa wasn't able to jump into and give the little fella a kiss.

[Baldwynmayhem]

I'm afraid until we have a Libertarian government in power (which will be never in Australia, cause we just do as were told) nothing will change. Without true Liberty, there is only authoritarian regimes, and our Australian electoral system is a mirror of the two party system in the UK, US etc etc. Collectivists taxing the people to the hilt, regulating everything to nanny state status and arguing about petty issues that should have nothing to do with Government

[cutandruncampbie]

Bevis or Butthead?

[cutandruncampbie]

I want one of those frozen car regos - they sound yummy. Campbie should have his own cooking show with recipes like that. Such a positive feel good ad I nearly want to ride a CanDo City Cycle with this Gollum look a like call campbell Newman.

[benpalexander]

so cheesy, love it!

[gthreek]

i feel like i just watched some sleazy personal injury claims firm advert

lol australia

[mlw910910]

Ironic when one of my suggested videos for this video is an LNP ad attacking labor "Time to Show Labor the Door".

Not a win for Campbell's marketing team, I am afraid. The microexpression at ~0:10 (Campbell's eyebrows jump) smacks of disingenuity, and without more information on his policies being available, I'd love to see the numbers behind the $330 estimate he quoted in the ad.

[nikphil]

I for one, would like to see a campgain without the mud slinging. Sure, bring up the track record of the Government ( which is appalling to say the least ) and also make the promises... well, let's not call them promises, but can do's if we can. Budgetary constraints limited. Geeky & xxxMicrobe........ up to means... maxiumum saving of $300 for the V8 vehicle... there are a number of other sections in between, but none of them is 0.. let's talk track records..but that would be bad for Anna.

[paj1060]

Great news, how refreshing it is to have someone putting up positive news for Queensland. The Labor people just have nothing left to offer - no petrol left in the tank - lets get someone in who wants to do something positive for us instead of just tax and lie to us - Go Can do Man!!

[signature1990]

Lets face it, anyone will be better than the current idiots Bligh and her crew of merry idiots (most of whom know the writings on the wall and have jumped the ship like the rats they are). Newman may be like other pollies with his promises but at least his ideology is not left. This alone will make him a winner. It will be good to have him as Premier and watch Anna squirm on election night conceding defeat....

[xxxMicrobexxx]

LOL - is he serious?  It just looks like someone who was actually stung by the ad saying "nyah nyah, nyah" and pretending to brush it off.

I also fully agree with @GeekyGuyOz. What wishy washy non-promises. Must have an advertising guru on the team - "up to" - funny!

[GeekyGuyOz]

"save _up to_ $330 a year" WHen they don't do it, keep in mind that $0 is "up to" $330.

"Cut tax on buying family home but _up to_ $7000" - more of the same non-specific 'promises'.

"sort out water and electricity prices", wtf does that vague nonsense mean?

How about some un-squirm-your-way-out-of honest promises Campbell?
