Palm Island Fiasco

Something is rotten in the state of Queensland. Now I'm no medical expert, but I'm pretty sure one usually doesn't fall over and sustain four broken ribs and splits their liver in two. However, apparently this is possible in certain police stations in QLD. Sure, maybe you cannot charge the police officer with murder but surely there's something called "police brutality"? Or was that concept scrapped when old Joh was in power?

I realise Queensland has somewhat of a dark history when it comes to police corruption, but this is purely ridiculous. From allowing the accused police officer's mates to perform the investigation to calling in a former judge who had ties with the DPP to head an inquiry, this Palm Island fiasco is just an endless saga of stupidty and corruption. And Beattie doesn't see how nominating the former judge is a conflict of interest. Simply breath-taking.

Beattie also said that come Christmas, we'll all sit down and have some "wine", and forget about this event. Not likely, Beattie, not bloody likely.

Hahaha, man, you have no idea. Dale, Aidan and I are sending the publican's children through college.

Can't wait til they piss off... my kidneys and wallet need a rest.
