Fuck I hate that "mandate" bullshit. Yes, the LNP received a clear mandate in favour of this crap. The people of Queensland did vote for this.

But Labor voters absolutely did not vote for this. Labor MPs have a mandate to oppose it. They can't, ultimately, stop it going through, but they can at least put up a show of resistance, and their voters would have expected them to do that. It's a stain on them that they refused to do what they were elected to do.
