To the eternal shame of conservative politicians in Queensland, the most memorable and most damaging barb fired at scandal-prone Treasurer Jackie Trad this election year did not come from the right side of the fence. Jo-Ann Miller, the former Labor Member for Bundamba, has taken that honour — and much more with it.

Miller resigned from parliament today, only days after her infamous snipe at Trad, pruning off one of the few remaining outliers in Queensland politics: an unashamedly Old Labor stalwart.

These events could now be categorised as a ‘hit-and-run’ hatchet job and no doubt will be by Trad’s supporters.
