Brisbane could be harder for drivers but easier for cyclists and pedestrians under a sweeping proposal by the Greens to "de-prioritise" cars in favour of people ahead of the local election in March.
LNP against common sense progress proposed by the Greens. I think I’ve heard this one before.
Not saying your point is incorrect, but just wanted to copy-paste for those like me who read your post and think those events don’t quite line up. Also, I’d just point out that Howard did win an election in Nov 2001, after the referendum and GST, before Latham. Again, this doesn’t directly contradict your point, just noting that there wasn’t ever really a GST vs Latham election, as I’d think the question had sort of been decided. But I don’t actually know whether Latham campaigned on it or not, off the top of my head, so I could be totally wrong there.
Republic Referendum was Nov 1999
GST came into effect Jul 2000
Latham was opposition leader Dec 2003 - Jan 2005
