Queensland’s Premier, Anna Bligh, has been getting a little defensive on Twitter announcing this evening that the Greens are…

“…not an alternate govt.”

This was in response to a Twitter message I Tweeted to Kevin Rudd just moments before, in response to his meeting with Anna Bligh today.

Kevin Rudd said the following on his Twitter account:

“@anna4queensland was great today. Such a strong woman. She stands for jobs.”

“The other bloke says he’ll just sack people. How does that work in a global economic storm that is smashing jobs everywhere.”

So I decided to get a bit cheeky by asking Kevin in the public domain the following:

“@KevinRuddPM What about the Greens what are they? Are they “that other bloke” as well?”

To which I received the response from Anna Bligh stating:

“@bengrubb they’re certainly not an alternate govt.”

You won’t be able to see the message on Anna Bligh’s Twitter profile page any more, because Anna Bligh deleted it!

But say you wanted evidence that this did indeed happen?

Well, Twitter offers a service that allows you to see Tweets regardless of whether they have been deleted, it’s called Twitter search. If you wish to see Anna’s reply head over to this link.

Below is an overview of how the conversation went:
