Australians remember this from August. Bob Katter is from the Joh era of politics in Queensland. Nothing you say to him will hurt him.

One thing that will hurt him is the loss of the state seat of Hinchinbrook. By-election set for Sat 29 Nov 2025. Qld Labor will run. #qldpol

The Queensland Nationals did two exemplary things for Australia. One was the implementation of the Fitzgerald Inquiry under Qld Premier Mike Ahern "lock, stock & barrel". The other was sensible gun ownership under Qld Premier Rob Borbidge.

Those two were last century. #qldpol

Suggest the Queensland parliament suspend blame here & discuss sensibly the solutions. How can our state reduce the two biggest crimes in the ABS dataset; DV & sexual assault? What preventative measures can our state take? It's a house of debate not blame. #qldpol
Queenslanders have said there's less police presence on our roads. Data backs that up. Officers are stretched. Prior to the election the Commissioner said they were attending large volumes of DV cases. Crisafulli has them on youth crime now as well. #qldpol

We couldn't prove anything until Mr Fitzgerald began his commission but 50 years ago the ancestors of the current Queensland government had the state riddled with corruption. So it's no surprise that the Hillbilly Dictator is still making front page news in 2025. #qldpol

Puberty blockers are still accessible in Queensland for private patients, with this care funded by Project 491. But there's no such workaround for the brutality inflicted on trans prisoners.

In 1989 Wayne Goss the Boss is on his way. The Qld Nats panic & replace Mike Ahern with Russell Cooper. But the Queensland people are now free from the Johmander & are armed with the Fitzgerald Inquiry report. Now they exact vengeance on 20yrs of oppression. #qldpol
