A change that was as good as a holiday : Comments

By Graham Ring, published 23/2/2007

Things are crook in Queensland if Premier Beattie's answer to the mounting crises in Indigenous affairs in the Deep North is to change the title of his minister!

What are you trying to say? Beattie has one focus, money. Nothing else, just money.

Note his instant change of mind when Howard throws our money on the table. What was impossible one day is suddenly the only way to go.

He's a complete idiot to be frank.

What relationship between the indigenous community and the "whites"?

Do you mean the subservient one that has been in place till now? That deserves shattering as it just covers up what most of us know. That these people are oppressed, in many ways.

If it takes a Beattie media performance to break that up then so be it.

Note the mass Police threat to strike if even one of their number is just charged with such a crime. Solidarity? No, code of silence, say nothing. Cowards basically. Those that have consciences must stand up and say what they know before it's them that are looking for "mates" in jail.

Nice article Graham,

Just imagine what it is like living here in the Deep North. I think many of us Indigenous mob are still in shock that Lawrence String handed down a 'against the flow' ruling and then witnessed our police display a political front. Sadly, a number of Indigenous officers backed the actions of the police union in Cairns and Townsville. I guess that is why they prefer the colour blue over black.

I heard a rumour that the Minister for Policy, Judy Spence, is the daughter of an office. Can anyone confirm. Very concerning if true.

Queensland, Jo Bjelke-Petersen one day, Peter Beattie the next!

Time to scrap the CMC, the powerless labor lawyers organisation, and for a recall of Tony Fitzgerald.
