I was lucky to score a ticket to the 2009 Queensland election debate between the Premier of Queensland Anna Bligh and the Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg. The journalism school is sponsoring the Queensland Media Club, the host of the debate, and therefore had some free tickets to the event.
It was quite interesting observing such a large function with its different players: journalist, camera crews, scruffy photographers, sleek public relation people, politicians and different lobbying groups who had bought tickets in hope of scoring some media attention for their cause.
Queenslanders are hitting the polls this Saturday after a month of enduring the two main parties, Labour and the Liberal National Party, hectic campaigning. Voting is not an option in Australia and people who fail to do so will be fined. It will be interesting to see if Labour manages to be re-elected after 11 years in power. Some people seem to think it is time for a change.
A ticket to the debate was about 130 dollars (600 kr).
The people in yellow t-shirts are a group lobbying for the creation of more jobs. Unfortunately I do not think they got the amount of media attention they had hoped for.
Lady in red - Queensland Premier Anna Bligh was dressed from head to toe in red, including her awesome high heels.
