I understand that blackmail is a crime if one is doing it for personal gain. I also understand that because of the nature of blackmail the information one is threatening to share is more than likely critical to ones relationship, career, bank balance or whatever...but what if the information is majorly important information that NEEDS to come to the attention of the people directly or indirectly affected by the actions of the blackmailee for the purpose of said individual being in a position of HUGE responsiblity...

What if it is theft or misuse of funds?...

What if it is insider trading of some description?...

What if..what if..what if?...

Do you have faith in the courts enough to believe that if it was significant to the people of Queensland they would make the information available...or would they cover it up?

No confidence in Peter Beattie or any of his vile fascist Ministers and labour party thugs in the Republic of Qld. Mary Rose is typical of who is still there in the Parliament and she does deserve to spend time in the big house just like the not so honourable ex-Health Minister, but I will predict a suspended sentence due to the mitigating circumstances. Severe bout of depression, she must have caught it from the not so honourable ex-Attorney-General Linda Lavach who took action against several senior court officers and the Registrar in the Central Registry of the Supreme Court in Brisbane when they all packed up and left for some unknown reason that the Courier Mail reported on the 12 July 2006 and was not aware of.
I do recall that when allegations made about the not so honourable Peter Beattie of bribing the Palm Is Council were made, the only recorded evidence of the complaint that was sent to the CMC, the only single copy of the recorded conversation, mysteriously turned with nothing on the tape.
Does anybody have faith in the courts, well that depends on what dispute resolution process you are referring too as the curial process that the Qld legislation provides for in accordance with Chapter 111 of the Aust Constitution is not what is being provided but the peasants and the majority of the not so honourable members of the fascist regime in Qld don’t know what the real difference is and how it is being altered by the very people who control the entire alleged judicial process.
The High Court rules, Federal Court, Fed Magistrates Court, and the Qld Supreme Court Act describes precisely what the design of the various court SEALS look like but the Qld Dis tricked Court's Act does not describe or identify any thing and the attempt made by one of the more honourable independent members of the Qld Parliament, when requesting precisely this information on all of the Qld Court SEALS from the ex-Attorney-General, it was refused

I note that the evidence against Mary rose was a recorded phone conversation and you try and use a tape record in the so called public court rooms so that you can get evidence of the judicial scams, they want to then allege contempt of court and lock you up to teach you a lesson. They then produce alleged orders that do not display the SEAL of the court on the alleged court orders.
They then charge you $4.00 for each page of the alleged transcripts which are not certified copies and not evidence of anything, its just expensive toilet paper but your tape recording is evidence if you intend to dispute the decision or object to the blatant bias and vile offensive conduct displayed by the pretend judges in their pretend courts especially if you are not prepared to pay one of the parasitic bottom feeding lawyers. Then we have the Attorney-General's Dept instructing the various Registrars not to use any of the official Court SEALS on the Originating Process. So when you turn up what happens when you have your dispute dealt with by the public servant sitting behind the Bench pretending to be a Judge but not bound by his judicial oath of office in a pretend court that has not been properly constituted with the use of the SEAL of the court. Thousands of people know exactly what happened and they all leave the room, that is just a Masonic Temple, feeling that they have been scammed and they are correct, but they will never know why

Young Dan - a suggestion. Calm down a bit, take some time a write out your concerns more clearly (if possible get a friend to proof read them) then post them.

I struggled to understand what your points were, to much mixed in together. You will probably have more success in making others aware of your concerns with a rewrite.

On the topic - wouldn't we all like to know what the threat was about.

R0bert

politicians are crooked, and hyenas ain't vegetarian. if you complain about either, why not complain about gravity, as well?

there are alternatives to being the victim of pollies, it just needs a bit of education and rather more character than yer average ozzie whinger.

google 'direct democracy' for a hint.

RObert, What you fail to understand is that the Mary Rose case was not dealt with in the Qld District Court properly constituted by the Registrar. It was conducted in the same place, same court room and dealt with by an individual who just happens to be appointed as a Judge of the Qld District Court but due to the Registrar of that Court not dealing with the Originating Process in accordance with the Qld Parliament's legislative requirements, the statutory court that is in compliance with Chapter 111 of the Constitution was never constituted and in this alternative jurisdiction the so called evidence of the threats will never be released as the individual was not bound by the rule of law when making the decision and dear old Mary Rose made it easy and pleaded guilty.
My prediction of the suspended sentence was correct but I am not sure what the out come of the Hurley case will produce, I suspect guilty of assult only as this will keep every body happy to a point.
It would appear that my description of the Dis tricked Court being conducted in the Masonic Temple has got you scratching your head. That is exactly what happens you when you get TRICKED and DECEIVED into having a pretend judge in a pretend court, which has no statutory SEAL, exercise judicial power and effect your inalienable rights without your express consent but only having relied on your implied consent because you were ignorant of your rights and how you alone have authorised the exercise of judicial power just as Mary Rose's agent, her Solicitor or Barrister, did on her behalf.
I suggest you and DEMOS read paragraph 14, 15, 16 of the published reasons for the decision in a High Court case Kable v The DPP NSW and then when you fully understand that document you may have the capacity to understand my comments and why these grubs have been the ruling regime for so long in the Police State of the Republic of Qld when in the federal arena the opposite political situation exists

I just wanna know cause I'm a nosey bastard. ;o)

Good questions StG.

“Do you have faith in the courts….”

NO I don’t!

And as an ardent advocator of a strong rule of law and effective policing and punishment/rehabilitation regimes, I find this gravely unfortunate.

So with respect to the Rose issue (and many others), I hear the news and hardly react at all, because I just don’t have any faith in what I am hearing or in the judgement or the apparent evidence behind it.

ps Keep being a nosey bastard. That is good!

I'm confused. Isn't "Mary Rose" a ship?

Yep, she did a great impression of the Titanic. Even had an arrogant captain at the helm. ;o)

For STG who is nosey, I will answer your request. What does Merri Rose have over Peter Beattie? Peter Beattie had an affair. Guess who Peter Bettie had the affair with??... Yep Merri Rose! This is information from a top cop, with a very reliable source. No wonder it is hush hush...who would sleep with Merri Rose..or Peter Beattie for that matter??

I wonder if she went down as fast as the Titanic? Or if Beattie yelled out "woooooo, I'm king of the world!"?

Seriously though, I thought it may have been something like that, man that guy just loves the ugly ones doesn't he?

confucius says: "the high man talks about ideas. the ordinary man talks about things. the low man talks about people."

i think it was confucius, it might have been graham kennedy. try to lift the discussion up to holden cars and kangaroos, at least. we'll go for ideas in a few years-

I caught a little snippet from one of the "media" reports insinuating Beattie was protecting one of his ministers...I reckon it was his "little bishop" minister too. lmao. Maybe he has been doing a Rex Hunt?....or doing Rex Hunt even...hmmmmm.

I don't think affairs destroy careers...it is the embarrassment that does the destroying.

I reckon it's something a little more insidious.

Yahoo and STG

I am just guessing but you two are clearly to me a pair old old house wives- or single disgruntled women.
Your posting rumours sunshine shows your lack of breeding. Regardless or not if there is any truth in that[ Which I am sure you would not know] Blackmail is blackmail.


A less of a man might have given in to demands from a women who clearly pushed for something for herself because she 'thought' she had something over him.

The description of the way in which the matter was handled is typical of anything the CMC get their hands on.

I can recall them putting a gag on somebody along with then QLD Police Com of that day.

Yep Thats right the old CJC now CMC ruled that if the person spoke to the then Police Comm about police corruption they would go to jail. The really interesting part was that if the 'then police com' spoke to that person about police corruption he would also go to jail.
Funny as really- Imagine threating the QLD Police com with joal if he spoke to a member of the public in regards to QLD Police corruption?
Maybe the wittness ought to throw the whole story up on OLO and try out these low lives gag orders.
.Whatever Mary did in the heat of an argument I am sure she is regretting it now.

The fact remains still that Peter Beattie refused to allow blackmail be involved in QLD politics.

Hes proved as I said he has some entegrity which is more than I can say for both of you.

Peter has protected the publics interests by not being bullied probably at great personal costs.
What more do you want. Are you sure your not a person with a political agenda. By the way I do not beleive any top cop told you any such thing.
I beleive your comments are political and a disgrace.
Give me Peter Beattie any day.

I stopped reading at "blackmail is blackmail".

Get a sense of humour and lighten up. Politicians are full of it, and people like you swallow the bunk that somehow they are apex of society...Most of what I wrote in this thread was tongue in cheek.

Get laid, and chill out.

STG

Yet another example of your gutter attitude. You post stuff like A B or c were having an affair- On a public forum- knowing full well that the persons a public figure and no concern how his wife or family may feel about your low life comments.
Followed up by what can only be described as your utter lack of respect for all familys.
Your lack of breeding is clear for all to see.
I certainly wont waiste my time with resonding to any further posts from you.

Can I be included with him, PALE? Please? And you can tell your mate Boazy to do the same. Cheers.

Bugsy

Quite frankly I am proud to call David a mate most times. I like Davids mind when he speaks as a person.

He at least uses his real name.

Not surprised you approve of low comments of the above poster. To that poster I strongly recomend you retract the comment. It is both personally directed to myself and very offensive and crude.
I understand you wont follow the meaning of what I am saying so try looking it up.
[ In short] no class or a low uneducated comment or person- Someone of poor breeding etc.

I would consider it a blessing not to hear from you bugsy especially your constant following us around on every thread we open.

Low is low and you two seem to have reached a new level.

What do you think David are they - Cut from the same cloth or what?

Quite frankly PALE your hypocrisy astounds me. You are not above low and personal comments yourself I have noticed. And I do not constantly follow you around on every thread you open because quite frankly I find the vast majority of your posts extremely dull, repetitive, self-serving, single minded and quite militant when someone doesn't happen to agree with you. The same goes for Boazy. Cut from the same cloth alright. I mean, how many threads do we need about live exports? Or about how Islam is the root of all evil? Try and say something else for a change. Neither of you have a sense of humor and you both probably need to get laid and get a life.

This is an open forum, but what you seem to forget is it's on the internet. We can say anything we like. Now, where's your e-lawyer? Sue me.

I hope that everyone realises that Queensland has been a Despotate & not a Constitutional State since the 23/03/1923 when a 1922 unlawful, unconstitutional act of parliament that was not given proper royal assent overturned the results of the lawful referendum of 05/05/1917 in which the 60.7% of enfranchised voters of q'ld said "NO" to the abolition of the Legislative Council.

Further reading is on Page 7 of the Brisbane Courier of the 5th May 1917....the headline reads:- TWO HOUSES NOT ONE...THE VERDICT OF THAT PEOPLE...MAJORITY OF 45,631...LIKELY TO BE INCREASED

Correction to previous posting.....
The line that reads "verdict of that people", should read "verdict of THE people"

rfki

I see somebody is trying to make a sensible comment.
Intersting post. I recall the good old PCJC sending confidential docs to the CJC [ in those days]
A whistel blower who had appaentlty provided a statement to an enquiry into mis conduct within the CJC.
Thats right. The PCJC sent evidence that was marked confidential and went to the crimes commishion back over to the crime and misconduct Commishion[ Julie Dick in those days] Back all the way to the very body this person had give evidence against.
If you cant follow all that it adds up to a bloody discrace.
There is no protection under the QLD Government for Whistle blowers [ especially outside those working for Government]
I am sure the other states are no different.
In other words you nail high ranking people and your done like a dogs dinner.
That aside I really think a thread about anybodies personal life is extemely low.
Its none of our business what Peter or anybody else does in his personal time.

Queensland: Here One Day - Gone The Next

Don't tell me that the Mary Rose incident has nothing to do with Mr Beattie's resignation. Mary was let out of jail early on Friday, and Peter is gone on Monday. Standby and watch this story unfold.

Well, he got her imprisoned and she can't get a career in politics. Not much else left to lose really. He left in the MIDDLE of everything he was doing as well.
