		Having followed the three-week campaign closely, this news came as somewhat of a surprise – not the fact that she was thinking of quitting, but that she was the Liberal leader.
		Borbidge must secure support from the two independents as well as the One Nation members.
		If Borbidge succeeds in stitching together support for a minority Coalition government it will be due, in large part, to the support of the remaining Liberal MLAs.

		COMPERE: The former Premier, Rob Borbidge, the man that Peter Beattie beat last election as well, was handicapped by his own party machine which rolled him on his determination to put One Nation last on National Party how to vote cards.
		ROB BORBIDGE: It is very clear that conservative politics across Australia will continue to face a major problem where there is fragmentation.
		And the end result, even if it is the unintentional result of voting for One Nation or voting for minor parties, essentially means that Labor, at the end of the day, is the beneficiary.

		The Leader of the Opposition, Rob Borbidge, accused the Premier of avoiding facing the public and called for an election to 'clear the air'.
		Borbidge also followed the federal Coalition's line that a vote for One Nation was a vote for Labor, a claim that may have been too subtle for voters, who were also hearing National politicians calling for an exchange of preferences with One Nation.
		Both Beattie and Borbidge warned of the dangers of minority government and the need for stability-if voters were concerned about this, presumably Beattie gave the better chance of delivering it.

		And in show business terms, the bizarre spectacle of Premier Rob Borbidge and his Government reeling from mishap to mishap resembles nothing so much as a major blockbuster production which keeps being postponed due to technical problems.
		Alas, the Borbidge Show seems to be a no-show, a dud.
		Instead of having the best, most user-friendly State Government in memory wow us in the aisles, as publicised and promoted by the confident Coalition hype, we’ve been subjected to the sight of the performers ducking in and out of backstage doors, making mistakes and generally being awkward as they try to get their act right.
