FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Premier Anna Bligh will not say whether Prime Minister Julia Gillard will be an asset to Labor’s official launch of its Queensland election campaign in Brisbane on the weekend.
Ms Gillard will address the launch at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Sunday.
Ms Bligh has told the Courier Mail newspaper she is pleased Ms Gillard has accepted the invitation.
However, Ms Bligh says she does not how Ms Gillard will be received in her predecessor Kevin Rudd’s home state.
“That’s not for me to judge – I think she’s widely respected here,” Ms Bligh said.
“But ultimately other people will be the judge of whether she’s a vote winner or I’m a vote winner – that’s in the hands of people.”
Ms Bligh this morning joined rugby league great Darren Lockyer to unveil his bronze statue in front of Brisbane’s Lang Park.
The statue is standing next to the statue of league legend Wally Lewis.
Agriculture pledge
Meanwhile, Labor has turned its attention today from education to agriculture in its latest policy announcement.
The party says it will maintain current levels of funding for agriculture and biosecurity if re-elected.
It also announced an extra $750,000 for grants to landcare organisations to buy equipment.
Agriculture Minister Tim Mulherin says a Labor government would establish a Ministerial Advisory Council on Agriculture and Food.
“Its role would be to drive growth in primary industries and provide advice on research and development priorities,” he said.
The policy also reaffirms Labor’s plan to increase the number of students studying through the Australian Agricultural College Corporation, and to support a new beef processing facility in the north.
Ms Bligh spent yesterday campaigning with her deputy Andrew Fraser in his inner-Brisbane electorate of Mount Coot-tha.
Mr Fraser holds the seat with a 5.3 per cent margin and is being challenged by Liberal National Party (LNP) candidate Saxon Rice.
LNP costings
But Ms Bligh had less warmth for the former auditor-general Len Scanlan, who has been enlisted to cost the LNP’s policies.
Ms Bligh pointed the finger at Mr Scanlan for not acting on warnings about the potential for fraud in Queensland Health, before accused fraudster Joel Barlow’s alleged $16 million scam.
“When [LNP leader] Campbell Newman comes out with his election costings, Queenslanders can know this,” she said.
“They were signed off by the same person who signed off on the accounts of Joel Barlow.”
However, the LNP says Ms Bligh has launched a gutless attack on Mr Scanlan.
