FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Queensland Premier Anna Bligh cooked up a storm with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver but she denied it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black when she criticised the Liberal National Party (LNP) for pay-for-access events.
The LNP is under fire for holding forums with business and industry which carry a price tag for seats or sponsorship of between $3300 and $22,000.
Ms Bligh said developers had already seen results as Mr Newman had recently changed his planning policy to abolish the right of people to object to a development in their neighbourhood.
“It’s not just a question of these donations. It is a question of what people buy with that money,” she told reporters in Ipswich, west of Brisbane.
The LNP was quick to call Ms Bligh a hypocrite and said Labor had cosy arrangements with unions like United Voice, which paid staff to stage protests or post fake photos on Twitter.
The spokesman for deputy LNP leader Tim Nicholls told AAP that three weeks ago Ms Bligh also attended a high fliers’ function at a Brisbane legal firm to raise cash.
The event had been held despite Ms Bligh banning herself and state Labor MPs from participating in so-called pay-per-view politics in 2009.
“Ms Bligh tried to take the moral high ground … but come election time, she’s happy to be the star attraction,” he said.
“This is just another broken promise. She says one thing and does another.”
Ms Bligh was again forced to counter the suggestion that some Labor MPs are trying to distance themselves from the Labor brand.
It has emerged that Bundamba MP Jo-Ann Miller is campaigning for her re-election on her opposition to Labor’s controversial $17 billion asset sales, and has said she paid the political price for her stance and missed out on promotions.
This follows the discovery that the premier’s logo is missing from campaign material for candidate Kate Jones in the seat of Ashgrove, contested by LNP leader Campbell Newman.
Although Ms Miller voted in favour of the sell-off she reportedly said she had no choice because Labor MPs had to vote in a bloc instead of being allowed a conscience vote.
Ms Bligh said there was no evidence that Ms Miller had been held back and reminded her how important it was to stick together.
“People in Labor party caucus, just like people in the community, have different views on things. What matters is when the tough decisions have to be made, they understand what it means to stick together and to vote for them and support them,” she said.
It was not all business for the premier on Saturday.
She shared a light-hearted day cooking with celebrity chef Jaime Oliver for a live healthy food show in Ipswich.
Throughout the event Jamie showered praise on Ms Bligh, whom he called “sweetheart”, for her support in helping set up the Jamie Oliver Ministry of Food Centre in Ipswich and said other governments he had had to work with had been rubbish.
Running with the cooking theme of the day, the premier announced that a re-elected Labor government would spend $460,000 on 2000 free cooking lessons at TAFE to help people change their unhealthy diets.
