THE party people of Brisbane have spoken, and they won’t be told how to vote.

Queensland’s nightclub faithful have responded with fierce opposition to anti-Labor text messages sent from some of the capital’s biggest clubs on the eve of the state election and they won’t be told.

Text messages, apparently sent by the owner of Katrzyna Group which owns popular nightspots Family, Press Club and Cloudland, were sent to the club’s database encouraging them think about their vote.

“Be careful with your vote on Saturday,” the text read.

“Labor wants to shut pubs and clubs early.”

The message is in response to Labor’s plans for late-night venues.

Patrons responded to the text messages on Facebook threatening to boycott the club and demanding an apology.

“I’m going to say the same thing to you as I’m going to say to the LNP tomorrow ... Get f’d!” Jasmine Brown wrote on the Cloudland Facebook page.

“That txt was a big mistake … huge!” said Sean Patullo.

“For spamming people with anti-LNP bulls**t we’re going to encourage our fans to never visit your business ever again. Cheers.”

Family nightclub’s Facebook page has also been flooded with disapproving messages.

The message, which pertains to Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk’s promise to push a 1am pub and club lock out, prompted the clubs’ customers point out some of the LNP’s more unpopular policies, explaining to the club why they wouldn’t vote for them.

“Call me crazy but I’m going to base my vote on superficial fluff like jobs, the environment, assets and transparency in government even in the face of the overwhelmingly important issue of 24 hour access to overpriced cocktails,” Janet Davidson McGown said.

“I can assure you that the closing time for licensed venues are the very least of my concerns..... You keep to the food and beverages and leave the politics for the people…..,” wrote Shannon Tower.

“So how do your staff feel about working for an establishment that is promoting a govt who will rid them of penalty rates and most likely bring back work choice in some form or another.”

The group is yet to respond to criticism over the texts.

Queenslanders head to the polls today, with the LNP expected to retain government, though it is still too close to call whether Premier Campbell Newman will win his seat of Ashgrove after Labor claws back following 2012’s wipe-out election.
