“You’re going to see a mammoth campaign by the Labor party,” he told reporters at a press conference at Newstead.

Severe storm activity that has lashed parts of outback and central Queensland this week is set to continue into the weekend as the state's storm season begins.

A high-pressure system in the Tasman Sea will also cause isolated showers in the state's south-east to linger well into next week.

The south-east looks set to escape most of the storm activity, with smaller isolated coastal showers expected for the weekend in parts of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Fark - life must be tough in the public service.
