    Queensland general election has been called for January 31, 2015<\/h3>\n

    Premier Campbell Newman<\/a> has called a snap general election for January 31, 2015. Unlike other states which have fixed four year terms, Queensland has three years flexible allowing the Premier to choose the timing of elections.<\/p>\n

    The LNP and The Courier Mail<\/em> are running a campaign that Labor has no policies. Listing of Labor’s policies can be found here, “Labor\u2019s 2015 Election Policies”.<\/a><\/p>\n
