Qld LNP Treasurer & Energy Minister David Janetzki is struggling. He knew of the Callide coal power station explosion but failed to inform Queenslanders. Now Jarrod Bleijie is involved & suddenly 2 CS Energy managers have left the company. #qldpol

‘Zero tolerance’, Queensland Police Service once proclaimed.
… it’s a very weird demonstration of ‘Zero tolerance’.

My sympathy and empathy for PTSD-in-service starts with ‘Everyone should feel safe to be able to disclose and be certain care and support will be provided during and post-employment.’
It ends when a person breaches the values and codes of conduct of the Public service.

PTSD is no excuse for breaches.

A man’s identity and job is more important than the safety and wellbeing of the woman who are forced to work with him.

Where is the mandatory sentencing that the #lnp keep pushing on kids but men avoid. #qldpol

Capitalism is not a civilised, humane economic system as it cannot provide basic needs to all. Time to install full socialism and house Clivosaurus in a tent as an instructive experience. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/apr/12/wheres-the-human-dignity-as-bulldozers-roll-in-this-is-the-face-of-a-queensland-crisis-ntwnfb #auspol #qldpol #homelessness

Labor's Dr Anthony Lynham's victory at Stafford in the 2014 by-election was a key event in the defeat of the Newman government in 2015. He retired in 2020. In 2024 he lost his son to cancer. Now he's working to streamline the clinical trial system. #qldpol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-12/clinical-trials-australia-eamon-lynham/105125900

Clinker (hardened ash) detachment resulted in an explosion at Qld's coal powered Callide C3 unit last Friday. On Tuesday Treasurer David Janetzki boasted about his coal generation plan but neglected to mention the incident. Today he admitted he should have. #qldpol https://youtu.be/AvoKy34QrNo

A new incident at Callide coal power station in Queensland. On 4 April, a significant clinker (hardened ash) detached from the internal boiler wall of Unit C3. Estimated to be offline for repairs until 30 May. #qldpol https://www.csenergy.com.au/news/callide-unit-c3-offline-for-repairs

You'd think that after all the money that developers have funnelled into #MoretonBay over the years, council might greenlight more humane—and durable—solutions to the #housing crisis.

But no. Apparently, property values in (checks notes) #DBay are more important.

Qld LNP Youth Justice Minister Laura Gerber stepped out of a Cairns press conference and into the passenger seat of her staff driven car which was parked in a disability spot. She later repeatedly said, "The car should not have parked there." #qldpol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-08/youth-justice-minister-laura-gerber-disability-parking-space/105151300

Queensland's emissions reduction targets out the window. The pattern of the Qld LNP finding blowouts in things they don't like continues. The Crisafulli government will prop up Qld coal plants, build more gas generators & progress select pumped hydro projects. #qldpol https://reneweconomy.com.au/fiscal-vandalism-queensland-doubles-down-on-coal-and-gas-after-transmission-hydro-cost-blowouts/

Glorious 5 year plan. More gas generators for Qld. $134m for CS Energy to develop 400MW Brigalow Gas Peaker Project at Kogan Creek. Also CleanCo & Stanwell will progress 2 new gas-fired generation projects at Swanbank & Gatton. #qldpol https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/102355

BREAKING: Spruiking Premier David Crisafulli's "Adult Crime, Adult Time" David Littleproud announces Qld will implement remote outback camps for juvenile offenders. The policy was raised in Qld pre-election but this is the first announcement after polling day 2024.

"In my home state again, & I'd encourage every state to do this, we're going back to outback camps." #qldpol

Former Qld LNP Brisbane council candidate Brock Alexander now on grooming charges.

In a separate case in 2024 he was disendorsed, referred to police by LNP but it was too late to remove from the ballot. He collected 24.9% of the vote on 1st prefs. #qldpol https://au.news.yahoo.com/ex-lnp-candidate-grooming-charge-021236208.html

From 2015: John Sosso was A-G Jarrod Bleijie's D-G in the Newman government and was involved in the boot camp tender process. #qldpol https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/jarrod-bleijies-directorgeneral-john-sosso-hits-back-at-boot-camp-review-20150519-gh53y1.html

"I’m concerned that Queensland might be reverting to the bad old days of biased electoral boundaries – the notorious Queensland gerrymander." Tony Fitzgerald speaks against appointing Dep Premier Jarrod Bleijie's D-G John Sosso to Qld Redistribution Commission by Premier David Crisafulli. #qldpol

A few people puzzled over The Courier Mail covering Tony Fitzgerald on yesterday's front page. There is a complex nature to Qld politics & media but his words carry weight. In 2014 the CM editor attempted to discredit him. This was the response. #qldpol https://youtu.be/VRpJQ4ompMU
