The electorate of Blair
|
Last week on Saturday Extra we visited the federal seat of Page, in northern NSW.
Today we're off to Blair in south-east Queensland, a seat that has also been identified as a key marginal in the upcoming election.
You might remember that the subject of the now closed railway line was an emotive issue in Page. Well, transport is also a major issue in Blair, only it's roads not rail that has got everyone pretty hot under the collar.
Ipswich is the biggest city in this seat, one that in the past been home to such political firebrands as Pauline Hanson and Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
