QLD Opposition Leader Launches Bold Political Strategy That Sees Him Focus On Shifting Tin And Running It Straight

While the rest of the country wonders if the Liberal Party even exists anymore, it seems that Queensland is enjoying their natural state of doing exactly the opposite of every other state.

And things aren't that noisy up North at the moment.

As Queensland's news cycle is dominated by the winter football codes, and a little bit of excitement about draconian free speech laws that nobody truly cares about, the Crisafulli government appears to have nothing to worry about as the leader of the only Liberal Party-held state on the Australian mainland.

All the Queensland Premier needs to do is ensure voters that they will have a new stadium built in time for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

That, and he obviously cannot dare add increases to the 50 cent fares for all public transport. Even if it sends the state broke, because he repealed the state mining royalties tax that were meant to pay this cost-of-living relief.

Still, David Crisafulli regins supreme as the only comfortably elected Liberal leader in Australia.

That's what he thought... Until his opponent, former Premier Steven Miles, started posting Instagram videos of him cracking the big four plates on bench press.

In what can only be described as the Labor Opposition leader playing political chess, it seems that Miles is only really interested in posting the type of things his mates would want to see on social media.

Not only is the Labor leader just posting home videos, he is also taking part in weight-lifting competitions, where he is pulling off rather impressive dead lift PBs.

Other videos include him playing full contact rugby league on the hallowed ground of SunCorp stadium for some charity event, where he reportedly scored a try, as well as videos of him buying cartons of XXXX Gold from the bottle shop while delivering some new policy promises.

"We aren't quite sure what the hell is happening here" says prominent Australian political pollster, Kos Samaras.

"But every time Steven Miles posts a video of him shifting tin, Labor collects a couple more data points in the northern suburbs of Brisbane and North Queensland"

"He doesn't even need to talk politics at this point... He just needs to lift enough weight that he impresses the average Queensland voter who naturally thinks all politicians are soft cocks"

"The posts of him running it straight at SunCorp has also somehow boosted his polling numbers with women over sixty"

Miles was approached for comment but was unavailable, citing that he a long lunch planned at Gambaros, followed by a few jars at the Caxton, if we wanted to meet him in the pokies a bit later.
