Over and over again. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli pledged that his youth slogans would deter crime.
We're 18 months into his government. When will the Qld media put it to him that his laws aren't working? Not today, unfortunately. #qldpol
Not so radical!
Citizen panels are legit government forums.
Having a unicameral parliament with no checks is the abnormality.
Seconded 👋
We all have to update ECQ with our details. We can't reside in one electorate & vote for candidates in another. There's a whole Fitzgerald Inquiry about this. No defence here,Tim Mander & Amanda Camm must resign their seats. Go back to the people of Everton & Whitsunday. #qldpol
Now here's a radical idea & would require legal counsel.
What if we, the Queensland people, told these two to go fuck themselves & we restablished the Qld upper house as a citizens council? Could we occupy that chamber & vote in a Speaker & invite Assembly MPs to speak? #qldpol
Gold Coast council obviously hasn't learnt anything from the Queensland Supreme Court against the Moreton Bay council on the homeless.
We have 3 fckn levels of govt in Australia with all the public funding possible & you lot can't work together? #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...
Here we are again. Kids about 12 in age attack a student at Ashgrove, Brisbane. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli's slogans are clearly not working & he's not listening to the community.
What other measures can the Qld opposition & crossbench suggest here? #qldpol
Here we go again, Qld. Premier David Crisafulli's youth slogans are clearly not deterring kids so what does he get Laura Gerber to do? Add 13 more crimes into the mess, further criminalise drug addiction & criminalise the homeless. Qld Labor is not having any of it. #qldpol
Queensland media, Jarrod Bleijie & David Crisafulli are literally laughing at you in the corridors of parliament.
What's it going to take to wake you up? #qldpol
Range is good, Queenslanders. The danger to the cavalry is acceptable.
The Qld LNP say, no.
Strength & honour, Queenslanders. At my signal. Hold the line. #qldpol youtu.be/YeldYJy0wkk
This is the Queensland media in the eighties. Russ Hinze tells them there is nothing going on.
2020s Qld Media: Oh well, that's all there is then, we'll just move on.
1980s Qld Media: Get fucked. #qldpol
Bad decision Premier Minns!
Come on, Queensland media. You'll chase down Labor MPs in Europe & Byron Bay. You can't just leave it at that. How did we ever get to the Fitzgerald Inquiry?
We all have to comply with electoral laws. David Crisafulli & Jarrod Bleijie are literally laughing at you. #qldpol
Qld Nats Premier Mike Ahern 1987-89. Before his death he testified to the Qld Parliament in 2017.
You'll be struck by the command in his voice. "You are accountable to the people," he tells them (12:19).
He is "lock, stock & barrel" on the Fitzgerald Inquiry. #qldpol youtu.be/cwkBG6RksnY
We Queenslanders cannot vote for candidates outside the electorate within which we reside. It's to prevent a return of Joh's gerrymander. It's fundamental to the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Any minister disrespecting it should resign their portfolio & seat. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...
We Queenslanders must only vote for candidates within the electorate where we reside. It's fundamental to the reforms of the Fitzgerald Inquiry to ensure Joh's gerrymander never repeats. Any minister disrespecting that disrespects former premiers Mike Ahern & Wayne Goss. #qldpol
When you get it wrong, you have to take it on the chin. Apologise, fix it up & do better. We know all about that in Qld.
I have family in NSW. I can fly down, meet with Chris Minns if he likes & give him the quick recent history of Qld. It'll be impolite, brief but on point.
NSW anti-protest public assembly restriction declaration struck down as unconstitutional but Premier Chris Minns is carrying on with it.
Anything we in Qld can do/say to help try to change his mind? We know all about making bad decisions. #nswpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Queensland has been through all this before. It happens every generation or so. Stop worrying about us, Australia.
Most important thing is to not let it get into NSW, NT & Vic or other states. #qldpol youtu.be/jOHUGW2EjC4
We have reached this point again, my fellow Queensland warriors. 18 months seems enough. The tribes of Australia's great north-east must now meet & make a decision. Who wants to be king? #qldpol youtu.be/NttEB0DZcaI
Queenslander women hold up our state. They are fierce, loving, pick us men up when we're on our knees, give birth to more Queenslanders, look after the family, run stations in remote Qld, give us hugs, become premiers, become ministers, run businesses, become nurses & don't have time for any BS.
Former Ch9's Meg Sydes in the background with Min Tim Mander. She became his staffer post-2024.
There are others. I trust Qld journalists aren't holding back on asking difficult questions of the Crisafulli govt because of their mates.
Such a thing would be corruption. #qldpol
There seems to have been a rash of attempted car thefts (some successful), car jackings, opportunistic wandering into people’s yards, plant theft and youth doing various disturbing things locally. But I only know that from FB groups because no one ever seems to get caught let alone charged.
Oh, FFS. And... he we go again, Queensland. Welcome to 2024 in 2026.
Stafford by-election locked in for 16 May & what's Ch9 doing? Repeating Premier David Crisafulli's youth crime slogans & not asking him any substantial questions. Are you journalists or what? #qldpol
Sorry to keep posting this stuff.
17yo arrested over gym car thefts. Why are Qld journalists so adverse to challenging Premier David Crisafulli on his youth crime legislation? He said it would deter youth crime. There seemed to be no qualms about asking premiers past. #qldpol
The Qld LNP just don't listen to us, do they? We said this was going to be a problem in 2025. #qldpol
The Qld Parliamentary Annex is for state MPs who live outside South-East Qld. Taxpayers have always supported lodgings for those MPs.
It's not for people like Tim Mander who's electorate is Everton across the fucking Brisbane River! #qldpol documents.parliament.qld.gov.au/com/GEFC-11E...
This is how long this Tim Mander thing has been going on. It had to be officially tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 28 July 2025 that he was living in the Annex. Those digs are for Qld MPs to stay nights when too far to fly home, FNQ, etc. #qldpol documents.parliament.qld.gov.au/com/GEFC-11E...
In 2018 Tim Mander was Queensland deputy opposition leader. He was going to change firearm laws if the LNP won government in 2020.
How does that sit with Queensland Premier
David Crisafulli? Oh, it's all out of context... #qldpol youtu.be/JSxyWhIxvDk
