Tricky Trad tunes in
over 5 years in theaustralian
You won’t believe who was watching when LNP attack dog Jarrod Bleijie was rolled out to stomp on Jackie Trad’s grave … only the former Queensland deputy premier herself! Or someone with access to Trad’s official Twitter account. Eagle-eyed 4BC reporter Paul Burns managed to snap a screenshot of the moment Trad tuned into the live video stream of Bleijie’s Saturday arvo press conference for a bit of self-schadenfreude — held after she stood aside but before she moved to the backbench over an investigation by the state’s corruption watchdog. Bleijie is the opposition education spokesman and was the only LNP MP who provided sound bites on Saturday as the news broke, we hear because Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington was unavailable. Luckily, he also considers himself Trad’s political nemesis. Or, as he calls her, “Dodgy Jackie”. Not Tricky Trad? That’s got a better ring to it? We guess that’s why he’s stuck in state politics.
