Why has the state government ignored key recommendation from own DV taskforce? : Comments

By Cassandra Pullos, published 17/2/2017

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk's reported remarks urging parties demanding new measures for DV offenders to first discuss the issue, seems to ignore her Government's own DV taskforce recommendations of 2015.

EmperorJulian:

"DV happens because violent criminals commit it."

They are not criminals until they commit violence or do you view every man as a criminal because he is a man? Would not that include you? Either all men are already criminals before they lift a finger or they are not so which is it?

You are not a criminal until you do something which is a crime. Your statement makes no sense at all. If it is true then you too are a criminal.

//We tell the young girls they are 'little princesses'.//

Well that's disturbing. About an 8.5 on the 'Michael Jackson' scale, or 7.3 if you measure on the 'Rolf Harris' scale. I sure hope you're not allowed to work with kids.

//but the real truth is it's unlikely any of them will ever actually be princesses.//

Wow, really? And here was I thinking that the number of countries with monarchies was rising in direct proportion to the female population. Good thing we've got AC around to point out the fake news for us.

//We impose the colour pink on them.//

Make that 9.1 Michael Jacksons.

//That tells them they have to get what they want by 'looking nice'.
That the most they can aspire to is getting what they want by being 'appealing to others'.//

At creepiness levels of this magnitude the Michael Jackson scale becomes non-linear; and we are forced to start measuring things in degrees Saville.

Yes well your comment rates highly on the imbecile scale Toni.
Haven't you ever heard of the movie 'Frozen', Princess Elsa and Anna?
Or are you too out of touch with stuff and that's the reason why your comments are just nitpicking?

And don't talk to me about creepy when you spell your name like a woman but talk about testicle problems in your scout days...

FFS, phanto, someone who commits a violent crime is a violent criminal immediately before, during and after the instant the crime is committed.
English 101. Violated only when indulging in ridiculous contortions to exculpate the guilty.

Phanto, sounds more like your humbug in defence of violent criminals was caught out and skewered.
