Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If there is one thing that Queenslander hate in their politicians its weakness. Joh wasn’t weak, nor was big Russ. Beattie wasn’t either. Annastacia Palaszczuk was strong until she fell in love and took her eye of the ball, but even then you wouldn’t fight her. Mike Ahern and Russel Cooper and Rob Borbidge were, […]
#EXCLUSIVE: Steven Miles stands accused of lying to Parliament over the sending of secret text messages. The Premier stood up in parliament to deny the claims, but now 9News can reveal an explosive photo, telling a very different story. @TimArvier9 #9News pic.twitter.com/Wjodhqn97i — 9News Queensland (@9NewsQueensland) March 4, 2024 We warned you from personal experience […]
When I worked alongside the now QLD Premier Steven Miles at the United Voice union a decade ago he never had guns like this. Back in those days Miles was a skinny kid turned fleshy, an absolute wimp.

Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff, the last Liberal leader still in government left standing, has made the politically suicidal decision to call a snap election, more than a year before its due. His maniacally bad judgement is set to have huge ramifications for racing in the State. At the moment Tassie has 25 members of parliament, […]

This experience is mirrored in New Zealand, the USA and United Kingdom. However, unions remain important societal institutions […]
A Green MP in New Zealand has been forced to stand down from her positions after a boutique owner accused her of shoplifting from their high end store. That’s not the best part of though. This bit is that the alleged light fingered MP is of all things a lawyer. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/301038288/mp-golriz-ghahramans-alleged-shoplifting-incident-happened-two-days-before-christmas Why would a lawyer […]
Queensland’s new premier Smiles announced a review of the Olympic construction tasks on taking office, which was due to be delivered 60 days later. Racing Minister Grace Grace has the responsibility for it now, and I can’t see Albion Park closing without Norwell being built first, but not moving and not building it is maybe […]
The jury in the Brittany Higgins case cannot come to an agreed decision of whether her colleague Bruce Lehrmann raped her or not. I am not surprised. The only thing that is surprising is that some of the jurors still want to convict him. How the hell could you? There is no way in the […]
