Queensland cooks up another media tart

Queensland Premier Anna Bligh is shaping up to be as much a media tart as her predecessor Peter Beattie. Bligh has announced she will appear on the celebrity version of Channel Ten's MasterChef to "promote Queensland produce". Methinks it's more about promoting herself and a government that's way on the nose. Queenslanders have a right to ask whether Captain Bligh's time would be better spent steering the ship of state rather than mucking about in front of the cameras while she's on our payroll. It's something an effective Opposition could really push hard on. When will we get one of those?
