The Beattie/Bligh Swindle Machine At It Already

An election hasn't been called and, according to Sister Anna, will not be called until August or September next year. However drunken pink pigs continue to fly throughout the cosmos.

Village Val On The Hunt For Verbal Vandals

It seems to be the mantra of all Labor aparatchiks, that they always promise new "openness", "accountability" and "two way dialogue" in their quest for office. It's their way of dog whistling to the electorate that somehow their opposition is a closed society. For example, have a look at our Premier Sister Anna.

Sister Anna Deep In The Mire Of Verbal Manure

When Sister Anna tookover as "revered leader" from Powerpoint Peter Beattie, she vowed to lift the standards in the Queensland Parliament.

Of Regional Matters and Regional Governance - The Insider's Point of View

The Douglas versus Cairns issue has taken grip of the Cairns Regional Council yet again. At a Council meeting this week Councillor Sno Bonneau apparently labelled the last Douglas Shire Council budget as a “Con Job”. He's quite right of course.

Warren - It'sTime For A New Response

Main Roads Minister and Member for Mulgrave, Warren Pitt, needs to come up with a new response to any issue that he's saddled with.

It Wouldn't Be So? It Couldn't Be So?

Remember last week that a beleagured Police Minister (Judy Spence) had her office broken into?
