Queensland has lost the plot!!!!
MIGRANTS moving to Queensland from interstate will pay for the privilege under a Beattie government plan to boost health revenue.
Premier Peter Beattie said yesterday people migrating to Queensland from interstate had an obligation to contribute financially to the state's health system.
Weekend reports said the Premier had hinted at charging new arrivals, but yesterday he confirmed he planned to seek a contribution from those relocating here.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing... maybe I won't move to Victoria now if I'm already part of the Stonecutter State

Are you fucking kidding me?! Way to go to make your state appear to be some sort of elitist club you have to pay membership to get into.
you are kidding me queensland is an elitist state? this is the state that brought us steve irwin, pauline hanson, XXXX beer, big brother and the australian branch of the KKK i could go on for awhile but i dont think i need to. beattie is delusional to even think queensland is an elite state. a plan needs to be enacted to blow queensland away from the australian mainland (like tasmania and new zealand) so we dont have to put up with such madness.
