interesting times ahead perhaps

[lakeland27]

its been a good week

although i found a tune and a RIP on utube dedicated to a friend i didn't know had passed on.

Now he's intimidating a female journalist and calling her madam.

He looked like a deer caught in the headlights at that interview.

Completely out of his depth.  Panic written all over his face.

Reminded me of Bush Jr. receiving the news in the classroom about 7/11.

freshwater, I think you're right, he was the one who had the list about appointing Girolama to the ports then ultimately signed off on the job on the board with the water board

And didn't the Ports go to that other creature Tripodi?

Corruption and ethics Queensland style

While the ICAC in NSW claims the scalp of a sitting Premier yesterday, concerns increase about the Queensland Government's planned changes to it corruption watchdog, as well as the conduct of its handpicked acting chair. Barrister Alex McKean comments.

DID DR KEN LEVY chuckle quietly to himself as he set in motion the processes to have Ros Bates referred to the Ethics Committee of Parliament? Did he grin or grimace as he signed off on the paperwork to have the troubled MP investigated.

The thought ‘there but for the grace of the Premier go I’ may have crossed his mind as his pen scratched the parchment, consigning Ms Bates to the tender mercies of the Queensland Parliament's Ethics Committee.

But Ros never really had to worry.

The bar is not set all that high in terms of expectations of the ethical conduct of MPs of the Deep North in this savage year of our Lord 2014. It takes an accumulation of allegations of naked corruption, in the style of the unlamented Scott Driscoll to prompt the government into action.

 he was responsible for the criminal neglect that saw the murder of 4 young men?

This comment has intrigued me ever since I read it. Since it is impossible to murder someone accidentally, the only inference to be drawn from it is that Kevin Rudd set out deliberately to kill four random young men and procured hired assassins to do the job for him

This begs three rather important questions:

1)Why did Kevin Rudd want these four young men murdered - what did he hope to gain by their deaths?

2) Who procured the murderers for him and why did they agree to do it?

3) Could it possibly be that in fact there was no murder and the word was merely injected into the post in a fit of hysterics?

[just_me_karen]

I pick (3)!
