Dear Hasbeen,

Wonderfully bombastic as always.

Of course the good old Westminster system does attempt to place some distance between the parliament and the legal system. But not in Queensland it seems. If Hasbeen is happy that Newman got his boy up then the rest of us should just bite our tongues because he knows best. And if that rascally ABC shows any concern then sack the blooming lot of them!

Love your work son.

Duxy, yes we want some distance between the parliament & the legal eagles. To start with it would be a good idea to ban all of them from election to anything. That would give a little distance.

Then we could throw the lot of them in the slammer, judges & all, & let the existing inmates into the courts.

We would then have at least a slightly more honest system, with a lot more honor. Hell we might even get some justice in the legal system.

Of course nothing could ever bring any honor to the ABC. The only salvation for it would be a flock of nuclear armed cruise missiles, although complete defunding would be a start I suppose, if not so satisfying.

But pray tell exactly what is the difference between Beattie/Bligh appointing a judge & Newman doing the same thing. Oh of course, only lefties are to be appointed to anything paying all that lovely money.

We need more Gilbert and Sullivan in schools to prepare us for this as adults.

Dear Hasbeen,

Quite glad we could agree on that point at least.

However Queenslanders would beg to differ.

Queensland and the Westminster System
The Constitution of Queensland Act 2001, unlike the Australian Constitution, currently does not expressly provide that Ministers of the Crown have to be elected parliamentarians. By Westminster conventions, however, that is the case, thus allowing for "responsible Government". In another comparison with the Australian Constitution, the Queensland Constitution does not prescribe a rigid "separation of powers" and the Queensland Parliament could legislate to alter the judicial role of the State's courts.

I you were really interested in change perhaps this might be your first port of call, well second at least after you finish your nuking of the ABC.

with a lot more honor.
Hasbeen,
I guess this is just a simple typo & not an underlying reference to some goings on in the klink ?

God aren't these lawyers disgusting people.

Now one of these fire engine chasers, has organized for a bunch of illegal boat people, the gatecrashers who literally crashed into Christmas island, to sue the commonwealth government, us the taxpayers, for not rescuing them.

And they reckon used car salesmen are short of morals, hell they have nothing on the legal fraternity.
