SNIPPETS RE THE QUEENSLAND ELECTION: The lawsuit against the premier (NEWMAN), whose defence is being paid for by taxpayers, is ongoing, with the Hannays tweaking their statement of claim last month. SNIPPET TWO: 98,980 letters in the seat of Ashgrove, paid for by sand miner Sibelco, helped Newman win at the last election Yes, there was that $91,840 spent on the “Straddie Mothers” campaign, which Sibelco belatedly declared to the Queensland election commission seven months after the 2012 election. But there were also the 108 prime-time television ads and 56 “premium segments” in key Brisbane cinemas, PR campaign literature shows.
