I am sadend by this thread. To me it seems a combination of interstate rivalry and some downright selfish behaviour of some individuals who think that they are the be all and end all and the party won't exist without them is causing this splinter to widen.
Why is it ego's and dollars seem to be the driving factor of the individuals concerned. The inate need to be "the boss" and take control - fair dinkum if the energy to do that was directed into the party focus and direction, I reckon Adams total number of booth workers would be met!
To me, it is obvious who those people are by their posts on this forum. You know who you are and you should hang your head in shame because not only have you assisted in the disruption of the party here in QLD, you have reduced ANY impact a party can make now and I daresay regressing to the policital landscape of the 1980's. When we get banned for fishing inshore - don't whinge as you have no right to do so as you were part of the reason it happened - you opened the door for the bastards to do what they want.
