What can one say to a poster who states things like -

"In Queensland lowering the age of consent for anal sex
is one of the highest priorities of new Labor Premier
Annastacia Palaszczuk ..."

Surely only an unhinged person would make a comment
like that.

And more bunkum follows. This is what prompted my earlier
response to this unhinged nasty poster.

I'm surprised that he's not being sued. Or that
the Forum isn't being sued for for this
sort of libel. It's a disgrace that it's allowed on a
forum such as this. It lowers the bar of discussions.

The claims are nonsense.

According to several articles on the web -
regarding bikie-gangs the facts are that -
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszcuk says police are
entitled to lobby to retain the anti-gang laws that were
introduced by her predecessor.

She makes it quite clear that Labor is keeping
an election promise by launching a
review into the LNP's controversial Vicious Lawless
Association Disestablishment (VLAD) legislation.

Ms Palaszcuk said the Review was being chaired
by retired Supreme
Court judge Alan Wilson. On the Review panel are the
Queensland Police, the Queensland Police Union, the Law
Society, and the Bar Association.

The Police are represented on the Review of the laws, so they
are entitled to make their views known, and the government
will give them careful consideration.

As the Premier states, "But the premise we start with is
ZERO tolerance for outlaw motorcycle gangs."

The Premier described talk the VLAD laws will be scrapped as
"conjecture."

She stated that -

"The same laws that applied previously are being applied now."

"If police need additional resources to combat gangs, I will make
these resources available."

Fox, "The claims are nonsense"

LOL, Is that so? You are in denial but keep on spinning.

However,

Anal Sex
The Queensland Government is investigating lowering the age of consent for anal sex. Qld's Labor Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath announced she would continue to consult with the state's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community about the issues which impacted them. Labor has more legislative changes in mind.

How the general population, the Queensland electorate might be consulted if at all, is anybody's guess.

Bikie Laws
As if Labor would be tinkering with the 'anti-bikie' law if they supported same and exactly what, other than Labor's opposition to the law, is preventing the minor amendment that could have stopped that NZ gang from becoming established?

It is on the public record that Labor and Greens OPPOSED LNP Premier Campbell Newman's working, highly successful anti-bikie laws during the election that resulted in the minority Labor government headed by Annastacia Palaszczuk.

There were strong objections by businesses and residents of the Gold Coast in particular to the foreshadowed plans by Labor and Greens to withdraw or knobble the legislation that had restored peace and order to SE Qld especially.

All jurisdictions throughout Australia were and are concerned about the exponential growth in gangs and gang crime and their involvement in drugs and violence. All jurisdictions applauded Premier Campbell Newman's laws that worked and survived very expensive legal challenges by the outlaw bikie gangs.

Where the Qld Labor government is concerned it is all undo and ideology first - as well as paying off the Greens for electoral support.

It is simply amazing, there are country towns that are resembling ghost towns as mining retracts. Huge unemployment. Just one pressing problem of many!

Yet, Labor's priorities include lowering the age of consent for anal sex (despite the growth in STIs and HIV jumping to heterosexual women) and undoing the effective law and arrangements that have made the life of organised criminals damned uncomfortable in Queensland.

otb,

I stopped reading your post -
after the first line.

I shall not be reading any future posts
of yours.

Kindly stop addressing them to me.

Jeepers, Foxy...but aren't you riveted to otb's commentary on Queensland "bikie laws"?

He's festooning two threads with it at the moment - and would ya believe neither of them are hosting that topic!

The Heydon thread and the "Why are gays not prepared to compromise" thread...

BTT, otb

OTB apparently hits the mark!

Dear Poirot,

He's obviously on a mission.
