@McKennaattheOz@couriermail We were often fierce rivals but also great mates.
You taught me heaps and backed always.
Journalism has been a wild and rewarding ride.
Thanks everyone. ❤️
Haha. Claiming the article had a narrow focus on one number only makes sense if you just read the headline!
And @camerondickqld didn't do that. He at least read to paragraph 5.
Wrong. There is no "narrow focus on one number".
The article talks about unemployment rate as well as participation rate.
Includes comments from @AnnastaciaMP , @camerondickqld and an economist about the challenges and the positives.
@camerondickqld@cr_leswalker Yep.
But isn't it unenviable to have such high unemployment even though more people want to work?
Shouldn't meeting demand be the ambition not an excuse?
What nonsense @camerondickqld .
The article says that Queensland recorded the nation's highest unemployment rate "despite" adding thousands of jobs.
But at least @cr_leswalker still has his job, right?
Today’s @couriermail claims QLD’s unemployment rate was "unenviable" "despite" our high participation rate 🤨
Actually, the unemployment rate is higher 'because' of the participation rate. Here’s the story 👇🏼
As @AnnastaciaMP builds her cabinet ... hearing:
Bruce Saunders - Asst. Min
Meaghan Scanlon - Min
One front bench position for Townsville (either Aaron Harper or Scott Stewart)
Ian Healy (Cairns) - “in the mix”

Do you think a 14 year old should make their own decision on taking part in vaccine trial?
