Hello Rob, Thanks for posting this story. I, too, think that such a parliament would help right the balance between SEQ urban voters and the producers of wealth: the productive rural and regional people who deal with mother nature every year:…

Not too long ago, politicians who could not hold firm to their convictions were called cowards. Unfortunately, nowadays, backing down from moral principals to appease a party majority has been somehow twisted into a virtue. Barnaby Joyce…

Thank you for affirming that you will not back down on gay marriage. Let's hope Barnaby Joyce shows similar resolve in refusing to back down on that score to get along with Campbell Newman.

It's amazing how when you are about to sign off a post is posted that is relevant in a striking kind of way. Thanks for your clearly made point, George. If I could speak generally we have seen KAP receive a lot of publicity. I…

George, You still haven't addressed the issues in my letter. Instead you quickly resort to personal attack,( common tactic with Labor) with out any effort being put into addressing the facts i.e. the parliamentary record shows that the QLD LNP…

I don't think Barnaby and you see as eye-to-eye as you think, Rob. For a start, despite the fact he is willing to stand up for the bush and be independent, he is still able to work as a team and maintain good working relationships. He is…

I hope I'm not proven wrong, but I can't see Barnaby Joyce supporting Campbell Newman's gay-rights agenda. Barnaby would surely know that 2 bulls by themselves won't raise too many healthy calves.

Barnaby stands up for the QLD bush 19 times, while QLD Libs force Nationals to betray the bush 19 times.

Barnaby stands up for the QLD bush 19 times, while QLD Libs force Nationals to betray the bush 19 times. I admire National Party senator Barnaby Joyce because he isn’t easily pushed around. Barnaby has broken ranks with the Liberals in Canberra, and voted against them 19 times in order to put the people of country QLD first. An article in the Toowoomba Chronicle today reports: “The outspoken senator is renowned as a highly-independent member of his party, having crossed the floor 19 times under…See More

Good to see that members of the press are paying attention, and have joined in spreading caution about possible government attempts to destroy evidence.

What major party is the best to manage the state?

What major party is the best to manage the state? “What major party is the best to manage the state?” With the state election just around the corner, that is an important question for any QLD independent Member of Parliament or candidate. We desperately need a change in government. However, I would like to see a minority LNP government held in check by a group of genuine conservative independents who will put the interests of the people before the interests of political parties.

To shred, or not to shred? That is the question… for QLD Public Servants.

Member for Burnett Rob Messenger today has called on Queensland’s 180,000 plus public servants to think twice before following directions from people associated with the Labor party, who may order the destruction or shredding of public documents.

Mr Messenger said that in the lead up to the 2012 state election, and with a likely change in government…

Do any of them involve the shortfall in palliative care funding we receive in this region, compared with the amount of money they throw away conducting research into models of care (again), special projects and bureaucrats to check the reports we are required to fill out quarterly in order to maintain our funding (less than 1/3rd of cost).

Thanks for the disclosure. I’ve had a bee in my bonnet for a while now about Climate change. I’ll send you a speech I did in parliament last Feb where I nailed my colors to the mast.

Cheers

I accept your offer of friendship, but must disclose the I am the Treasurer of the Climate Sceptics party. We are seeking registration with a membership base of around 800.

Our party policy is not to stand against any party that has similar ideas re the AGW hoax and share similar aims as ourselves.

I accept your Agmates Friendship - It's up to you if you want to retract.

Cheers
