if we go back to the previous queensland direct -- queensland election, it was just seven seats out of and a time -- out of and 89 seat parliament. there could be a decade before -- here they are after just one term. was a staggering result, completely unprecedented. we have belabored government back in power after three short years of incredible defeat back in 2012. this is the second time it has happened. victoriaal party and only survived a single term. there is this nervousness at the federal level that tony abbott's government could last one term because voters have certainly demonstrated a willingness to hand out some pretty harsh lessons. fastestsuffered the reversal for a newly installed -- for a newly installed government for at least 30 years. the recent polls don't look too good for the prime minister. >> it just keeps getting worse. #knightmare.ing it the two party now has 54% of the governing liberal coalition. that would see the government lose 40 seats in the header of parliament. -- in the parliament. if we look at the preferred prime minister, now sitting pretty at 50%

here it is over the northern territory and the east coast of the queensland region. you can see both of these storms projected to move inland and across the coast of the eastern parts of australia, going forward over the next 48 hours. this is the latest that we have. you can see that the eyewall did make landfall just east of rock hampton, which is inland. and'9" is continuing to batter this area with destructive winds, heavy rain and dangerous storm surge, still possible along the coast. especially near the gladstone region. it's interesting to note with this tropical storm how quickly this particular storm intensified, catching many off guard. look at the winds from wednesday to thursday and how quickly they increased by friday local time. 140-kilometer-per-hour increase in just half a day. that is impressive stuff. we have gale force warnings stretching all the way to these regions and you can see that the radar is lighting up. localized flooding is a major concern. some of the outer bands here continue to rake this area with heavy rainfall. there's been reports

if you rewound three years, they were reduced to just seven seats in queensland. the smart money was that it was going to take at least a decade for them to rebuild into a viable force, and yet, here they are, back in power. it really is externally. the liberal coalition there is gone from power after a single term. to make it even worse, this is the second time it has happened in just three months. there was a similar result in the state of victoria last november when the liberal government there are lasted a single term. obviously, federal mps are scratching the heads and wondering, if it happened at a state level, it could probably happen at the federal level too. tony abbott has been identified as a problem. >> you mentioned the word problem. how big of a problem are the recent polls for mr. abbott? >> there has been a slew of them. #knightmare. we will look at the latest fairfax/caps on spool -- fairfax/ipsos poll, the coalition down to 46%. that would mean tony abbott's party would lose 40 seats if the election were held today. if we looked at labor leader b

we can see the clear eyewall making its way into queensland. this is marchia. some call it the moving beast. we're looking at some storm surge on dangerous level. that could even get heavier on your saturday. and then another system that is pulling into the top end, that has downgraded. so good news i can give you is that these two systems are actually on a weakening trend. but still a category two likely to become a category one into the near future. but about 400 millimeters of rainfall certainly is enough to cause flooding and dangerous situations. unfortunately, there's been more rain in your sunday. but on the other side where we really need that precipitation, we'll be reaching up to 40 degrees. i'll leave you now for an extended forecast. >> and that's all for this edition of "newsline." thank you for joining us. ú \ er than china's but economists are baffled by the numbers. . >>> oil revenue down food prices up. finding it hard to swallow. >>> and the new year backlash. they have had enough. >> it's too crowded. >> hello, you're watching "asia biz forec
