Paul1405,

Your fatuous posts confirm that it will be a very long, cold day in Hell before the NSW 'Watermelon' Greens are concerned about the welfare of police officers and the general public. However the 'Watermelons' always have plenty to say to protect criminal outlaw motorcycle gangs who manufacture and traffic drugs, and coincidentally are responsible for drive by shootings to protect their drug territory.

BTW, you still haven't answered that question, has Shoebridge removed that lie from the Greens site yet? See here,

Beach utter nonsense, "(Greens) protect criminal outlaw motorcycle gangs" You will say anything that you think will discredit The Greens. SO be it, always careful not to show your true hand, what you do not like about us Greens is we are for freedom and democracy and do not support your ideal of a totalitarian police state.

Paul1405,

You wouldn't find any more totalitarian than the Greens.

What's the bet one of the favours the Qld Greens cash in for giving preferences to Labor will be an easing of the law and disbanding of the highly successful police taskforce Maxima? It will herald a return to bikies ramping up their drug manufacture and distribution and all of the violence and standover that goes with it.

Maxima successes. Thanks due to Campbell Newman.

Hi there everyone...

Speaking of 'Cops. Wrong people in top jobs' - I've been hearing quite a lot of opinion, both on the ABC and on a Sydney commercial radio station 'condemning in every way' the AFP police, for the perilous state these two in Bali are in. Blaming the AFP completely, for the immediacy of their execution ? I'm not so sure.

I've heard and understood some of the argument including the events touching upon the father of Scott RUSH imploring the AFP to stop his son from even leaving Australia. To counter this the AFP stated they didn't have a power to stop RUSH the younger from departing ? Further, I'd heard RUSH was then on Bail for offences of dishonesty ? If so, it would be a State matter, and one would first need to examine the conditions of Scott RUSH'S Bail ? Often an individual on Bail, with close ties and other considerations are not necessarily precluded from leaving the jurisdiction, to travel abroad.

Perhaps my memory is deceiving me, but didn't the then, recently retired, AFP police Commissioner Mick KELTY, travel to Bali to plead leniency for RUSH when he too was sentenced to death with CHAN and the other bloke ? Obviously that process was upheld, because of the immaturity of RUSH and the fact he was just a mule, and in no way a major player ?

After all, each of the Bali nine as they're 'popularly' referred to, must share most of the responsibility for their individual predicament ? Again I emphise I'm against the death penalty, but in the case of SUKUMURAN and CHAN, they're really bad, arrogant dudes, so I've no compassion for them. The families, I have immense feeling for, I really have, both as a father and grandfather ! These two maggots ought be very ashamed at the misery they're putting their two families through, without doubt !

Paul you are searching for the opposite to a 'Do-gooder' I believe.

That would be do sensible or intelligent.

Well, I would have to agree that it was less than ordinary for the Feds to drop them in the sh!t in Indonesia whilst knowing full well that the Death penalty could apply. They could have just as easily picked them up in Australia (if that is where they were headed)

but then, if you heard the Feds carrying on about "crims" as they do then perhaps it would come as no surprise.

As for those amongst the bikees who are manufacturing and distributing narcotics, we would all do well to remember that when it comes to drugs like cocaine that it is not your everyday working Joe who has the spare cash for that. Amongst their cliental are lawyers and doctors (assuming they are not knocking off the hospital supply) and they should not be exempted from spot checks in the same way that the miners are.

If you don't go after the cliental in a big way commensurate with your action against the bikees, then it is no different than charging the prostitute and letting his/her client go.
