Labor in the Land of Katter

ANNA Bligh surprised many in the state political scene this week when she suddenly pulled up stumps "to run the Queensland government" for three days from Mount Isa.   
With the polls bad for Labor, hoping against hope to snare a sixth successive win against an ascendant, Campbell Newman-led Liberal National Party, Bligh seems willing to do any stunt -- like last month's cabinet meeting on Thursday Island -- to sandbag even a single seat. Labor spun this week's move to the mining mecca as just another example of a Premier determined to stay in touch with the regions.
