In April 2014 Professor John Quiggin wrote on his Blog that the LNP government in Queensland is launching a massive and expensive campaign to persuade voters to accept the sale of publicly-owned assets.

The LNP offers an interactive website where we can make our own choices. This would in principle, be quite a useful contribution to public debate. Unfortunately, it is rigged.
