Hello,
I just wanted to say thankyou for your wonderful post regarding the current QLD election. I was very disillusioned after the results. But then I found a link to your page that someone had posted on Facebook. After reading your post, I feel much stronger and I understand that I must fight on for all my friends.
Thank you,
Jimmy
