Mike Kaiser
Reports that State Labor is planning to recruit the notorious ALP operative Mike Kaiser to their election campaign confirms Labor will run the mother-of-all negative and personal election campaigns.
As Chief of Staff to Queensland Premier Anna Bligh, Mr Kaiser was allegedly personally responsible for a running a massive personal, negative and nasty campaign against LNP Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg in their state election earlier this year.
Last week Mr Kaiser left Ms Bligh’s employ for a lucrative $450,000 per year job running public relations for the non-existent national broadband network.
Given that this network will be rolled out in Tasmania first, this provides the ideal cover for Mr Kaiser to spend time in Tasmania over the next four months and to ply his negative political trade for Bartlett and Co.
David Bartlett and the Tasmanian ALP must today rule out accepting any campaign assistance and advice from Mr Kaiser.
