Annastacia Palaszczuk quits
Another corrupt, incompetent covid criminal gone.
This power-hungry lady delighted in locking us in our homes, forcing us to wear masks when walking with our dogs or driving our own cars and destroying restaurants in Brisbane, and then rewarded her Chief Medical Officer for providing scientific cover for her insane totalitarian policies by appointing her governor.
Meanwhile, Queensland has been left saddled with even more debt, while her Labor mates continually feed from the public trough.
McGowan, Andrews, Marshall and Palaszczuk are all now out of office. The covid crooks who locked us up because they were on a power trip have all gone. Their outrageous oppression of the people appears to have thankfully cut their careers short.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Annastacia.

Feminism in Australia is officially dead
Remember Julia Gillard?
She was the Prime Minister of this country who famously was totally opposed to mysogny and sexism.
“I WILL NOT BE LECTURED BY THIS MAN ” she once thundered at Tony Abbott to the rapturous applause of the left:
(367) Julia Gillard misogyny speech voted most unforgettable Australian TV moment: watch in full – YouTube
Julia Gillard reckoned that the reason why voters hated her was because they were all sexists. It was all because she was a woman, not because she was an utterly incompetent leftist who lied about the carbon tax and embraced grubs like Craig Thomson and Peter Slipper.
In the dying days of her failed Prime Ministership, Gillard even launched an organisation named ‘Women for Gillard’.
So imagine our surprise when we discovered that Julia Gillard can’t even define what a woman is nowadays.
Feminism in Australia has officially died.
Anthony Albanese goes the full Mussolini with Ministry of Truth
As great as it might have been to have our first Italian Australian Prime Minister, that is no excuse for Anthony Albanese to turn into Mussolini and try to use the powers of the government to surveil his political critics and require social media companies to censor them.
This is pretty much what is happening with a bill he proposes to make into law.
The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023 is about stopping websites and online social media platforms allowing content that the government in all its wisdom thinks is misleading and harmful.
Anthony Albanese has been Prime Minister for just over a year, and already he is trying to become Il Duce.
Albo has gone the full Commo and wants to determine what is true and what is not true. As if he would know. He doesn’t even know the unemployment rate or the cash rate:
Anthony Albanese probably wants to prohibit people from comparing him to Il Duce online, even though he is acting a bit like the fascist Italian dictator.
We should not be surprised. Remember how Labor in its dying days of office last time tried to regulate the media to stop it from criticising its poor performance?
We were warned that it wont be easy under Albanese. With inflation still very high and now crackdowns on free speech, that has certainly turned out to be true.
This is yet another sinister leftist attempt to curb free expression.
Ben Roberts-Smith appeals defamation defeat
Last month, the Federal Court found Roberts-Smith had committed war crimes and upheld the defence of contextual truth in dismissing his claims.
Roberts-Smith is contesting some of the factual findings including all findings he committed murder, contending that Justice Anthony Besanko “cherrypicked” evidence in his judgment.

Lying lab boss Cathie Allen belatedly sacked
Cathie Allen lied about her the probity of her role in the 2018 change in DNA samples testing, lied about deliberately providing false information, lied about covering her tracks and lied about whether she was lying.
Sofronoff KC found that Allen had tried to cover up her “grave maladministration involving dishonesty” using a “deliberately crafted series of lies and misleading dodges”.
It has since been revealed that Allen was sacked in a formal letter sent to her legal team.

Criminal solicitor Adam Raydon Magill struck off for bail breaches
In 2018, criminal lawyer Adam Raydon Magill was one of a few lawyers charged with defrauding Legal Aid Queensland and laundering money for “serious and organised crime”.
Subsequently, he was granted bail on strict conditions on his own undertakings.
The following year, Magill was charged with numerous breaches of bail, which he was subsequently convicted of.
On 21 November 2019, the Queensland Law Society Incorporated determined that Magill was not a fit and proper person to continue to hold a practicing certificate and exercised its power under s 61(2) of the Legal Profession Act 2007 to cancel his practicing certificate.
On 18 February 2020, Magill’s appeal against the decision to record convictions with respect to five breaches of bail was dismissed by the District Court.
On 8 July 2020, the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) dismissed Magill’s application for a review of this decision, with Justice Daubney making the following ominous observations:
“the repeated breaches of bail undertaking are illuminative of shortfalls in [Magill’s] character of attributes which are absolutely fundamental for practising legal practitioners…
[Magill’s] conduct in repeatedly breaching his bail undertakings, and particularly his conduct in doing so shortly after having been dealt with by the Chief Magistrate, is indicative of a cavalier attitude to one of the most basic and essential attributes of a practising legal practitioner. A person who repeatedly breaches promises which have been solemnly given is not a person in whom the judiciary, the profession, and the public can have confidence as a legal practitioner…
For these reasons, this Tribunal has concluded on all the evidence now before it that it is not satisfied that [Magill] has the intrinsic personal character and professional capacity needed to command the confidence, respect and trust of the judiciary, the profession, clients, and the public at large, nor is it satisfied that [Magill] can be relied on in the predictable future to obey and uphold the law.”
On 10 June 2022, the DPP presented an indictment in the District Court charging Magill with a number of serious charges, including money laundering and defrauding Legal Aid Queensland.
Legal Services Commissioner submitted to QCAT that Magill’s conduct in the breaches of bail showed he was no longer fit to remain a lawyer, irrespective of the future outcome of the District Court charges.
Somewhat unusually, QCAT was asked to rule on Magill’s permanent fitness to practice despite the serious charges he faced, including money laundering and defrauding Legal Aid Queensland, not having yet been resolved. This was one of the grounds raised for Magill in resisting his removal from the roll of lawyers.

Queensland’s Minister for Women Shannon Fentiman denies biological reality
Queensland Attorney-General and Minister for Women Shannon Fentiman recently took to social media to decry a sticker placed on a sign outside her office that included the word woman, and its definition: adult human female. Fentiman reckons that:
“For some people in our community, these stickers represent much more – they represent a movement which discriminates against [transgender people] and denies their existence.’
‘I want to be very clear – I don’t stand for these sort of views, our community doesn’t stand for these views, and Queenslanders don’t stand for these views”
What movement is she referring to? Biological science? Believers in actuality?
She doesn’t speak for the majority of Queenslanders that appreciate that there are innate differences between men and women.
This Government is out of touch with the majority of Queenslanders as well as biological reality. Time to vote them out.
