Annastacia Palaszczuk hasn't exactly got any experience out in the real world ?

Seems to have been virtually totally employed in jobs for the boys jobs (political - "policy advisers") and when she did decide to

go out and do something on her own, her fathers seat came up.

So has she ever done a real days work that wasn't funded by the Gov't and had performance expectations

as opposed to churning out "policy papers" ?

I though that most people left that sort of infantile name calling back in kinder.  It is not amusing or clever, and contributes absolutely nothing to intelligent discussion..

I agree, kind of embarrasing really.

The British had a nightmare trying to pronounce the Polish names during WWII.
In a feature about the Battle of Britain, a couple of funny sequences in it.

It was an unlikely rise for Ms Palaszczuk, who became Opposition Leader after the 2012 rout as just one of three MPs left in Labor's parliamentary team with ministerial experience.

In fact, before she took over from her father in 2006, Ms Palaszczuk was preparing for life as a solicitor.

In her 20s, Ms Palaszczuk completed degrees in Arts and Law at the University of Queensland, a Master of Arts from the London School of Economics, and a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice from Australian National University.

She went on to serve as a policy adviser to several Labor ministers before entering Parliament herself.

Her past political career experience will be an advantage now... not like Campbell Newman who had none.

I know her education, i looked it up. That is still only 4-6 years of a 45 year old.
Policy adviser, her only 'job' apart from being a Pollie.

[debra9275]

She has law degrees aps, much harder to earn than psych degrees

[vicr3000]

Arts law isn't that hard, especially at 20 when you are probably interested and motivated.

Its not the degrees I was commenting on, it as her lack of real world experience, or non existence of.

She's been in the working world for 20 years, nothing not real about it.

To no one in particular................

Why don't we just give the woman a chance before we cast judgement..

Her father did a lot for his district and was very popular and I can't help but feel that under his influence she may well prove to be a chip off the old block. Anyway I think she deserves a chance before she's burnt at the stake.
