In the words of the immortal Patrick F. McManus:
I've never met a semicolon that could be trusted.

This. I will have to remember this. I rewrite sentences until they don't require a semicolon.

Mind you, there is one excellent use for a semicolon, as a super comma when making lists that contain items with commas in them.

e.g.
Queensland, Australia; New South Wales, Australia; Victoria, Australia; Western Australia, Australia; Tasmania, Floating Off Somewhere; South Australia, Australia; etc.
