'just letting us know' how despicable the slimebucket really is...

(of course his crappy 'trumpet of patriots' BS party is not in the slightest patriotic and of course backed by a true aussie, F##ker Carlson... oh wait... he's about as aussie as watching baseball while drinking a budwiser and driving a chevy...)

Peter Dutton regrets using term with historical anti-gay connotations

The federal Opposition leader made the comment — which has been defined as containing an offensive gay stereotype — while taking questions from reporters at an event on Thursday.

Dutton was a Queensland cop in the early 90s. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he was personally kicking the ◊◊◊◊ out of gay people.

Whenever I see his stupid "when I was a cop" advert, my brain inserts: "I learned that I enjoyed kicking the crap out of defenceless people."

Am I the only one that's disgusted with him for trying to politicise the Police with his shameful adverts?

He was a senior officer in Bjelke Peterson's time when the white shoe brigade were bribing the cops to the tune of millions. He was in the thick of that too. And bashing demonstrators. You can tell he can barely restrain that instinct even now.

He already has (quite a few) allegations from his time as a Queensland cop, from a time when the Qld police force was riddled with corruption no less (so making those allegations extremely likely)

Sure none of them were upheld AT THE TIME... which proves nothing- at the time Qld cops did the investigating of themselves- and 'of course' never found anything wrong...

And if you continued to make allegations against them, well, they'd likely find 'something' to get rid of you....

They were notorious....

Hell, Rodney Rude even sang a song about it lol (I still got that album on LP even)

But only one year after the Fitzgerald enquiry found evidence of entrenched corruption in the Queensland Police Force.

I doubt that it was all rooted out during his tenure.

Oh heck no. Also, homosexuality was decriminalised in 1990 under Wayne Goss, but I can still see Dutton kicking the ◊◊◊◊ out of gay people while working with the sex offenders squad.

No he wasn't. He graduated the Queensland Police Academy in 1990 - three years after Joh's tenure ended.

His career did indeed start then, but that meant he got his formulative training years when 'Sir Joh's corrupt system was still at its peak...
(in fact, there still IS a lot of 'low level' corruption going on in the Qld police force even today, as the locals will tell you....)
They needed (but didn't get) a Royal Commission inquiry into them same as NSW got- the inquiries into the Qld cops really only touched lightly into the deep seated corruption at the grass roots level at the time (and still exists only mildly reduced even today)

Absolutely. I was only reacting to the suggestion that he was a senior cop during Bjelke-Peterson's time. Though, it has to be said, I had to look it up to be aware that it wasn't true.
 
Yeah, he's not quite THAT old that he was a senior cop when Sir Joh was still around (hell, even I aren't THAT old lol) but the corruption levels during his early career years were off the chart...
(plus the squads he worked in were the most notoriously corrupt ones as well- so his exposure levels were high to others involved in it....)

The term used was at the lower end of the scale of offensiveness. Instead of kicking up a ◊◊◊◊ storm about it, a better strategy would have been to let it slide for now but bring it up during the election campaign to remind voters that he is homophobic.

Ok, I was not clear. He was a junior officer as you say just as BJ left office under a cloud. But as noted above, his formative years as a young copper were at the feet of senior officers who were known and later proven to be richly on the take. And BJ was still alive and stirring ◊◊◊◊ behind the scenes after he was removed. Remember the "Friends of Joh" movement?

Can't you just say "whoops, you're absolutely right arthwollipot"? :D

Like I said, I thought he was during Joh's time too, until I looked it up.
 
The Australian tragedy of the fire ant invasion.

'They're just everywhere': Fire ants 'explode' after cyclone

Residents in Queensland's fire ant suppression zone are pleading for help, saying nest numbers and attacks on humans and animals have exploded since ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred swamped the state's south east.
www.abc.net.au www.abc.net.au

This could have been resolved not long after it started, with the right political and social attitude and resources. Instead it turns out there is probably no way to stop them now. Whole nests that people didn't know existed have floated for long distances away from the source of the infestation zone. People resisted attempts to control the ants on their own properties because they didn't want to harm their 'ecosystem' with chemicals. Governments never put enough resources into active control and eradication. Only just enough to 'manage' it.
