With all the screams of “chaos”, “Queensland Government could fall”, “When did Premier know”, etc . etc. What everyone, including the media seem to forget is that there are real people behind the headlines? Billy Gordon, the member for Cook, is a ‘person’, his ex partner, who the Qld [...]

Ok, this one has been building for a while... *Picks up the Mic* Yes, I despise what the Courier Mail has done recently. The repulsive LNP cheerleading front pages and fear mongering is not only reprehensible but irresponsible in a democratic society. Of course this is only the most recent in a [...]

I will leave it to the policy experts to detail all the surprises and all the excuses we have received in a very short time. What worries me [...]

Having said that, I have been really cranky that since Bill Shorten got the top job for the ALP he has been pretty much AWOL. We all remember in the previous Government how you would be watching Sky or ABC24 and the ALP would make a new policy announcement and the very next comment would be, “Now we [...]
