Queensland Police Failed To Act On Worst Paedophile Ever

19 December 2024 4 weeks

We have just seen Australia worst child sex abuser caught sentence to 27 years in prison for his offences. Ashley Paul Griffith. However, in 2009, a complaint was made by a mother about this guy and her young child in his care at the time. No action was taken and the cops spent very little time interviewing the child. Queensland police failed to act on worst paedophile ever. Another 2 complaints are in the police system relating to complaints made by parents against Griffith, which again led to no action being undertaken by police.

Warnings About Oligarchy Fall On Deaf Ears

I suspect that many of the people that voted for Trump would struggle to spell oligarchy let alone grasp its meaning. Hey, those Big Tech bros are cool guys and wouldn’t it be great to be like them. This sentiment may well capture the popular mood among many younger Americans. President Joe Biden’s outgoing speech to the nation was highlighted by warnings about oligarchy. It seems, warnings about oligarchy fall on deaf ears at the moment. Explaining about the importance of having a separation between government and big business should be fairly nondescript. The general American ignorance about how government works is pretty disturbing.

The NBN Debacle Is A Perfect Example Of Coalition Ineptitude

Revisiting the National Broadband Network (NBN) tells us a lot about how politics undermine government in Australia. The NBN debacle is a perfect example of Coalition ineptitude. A constant theme in federal politics in Australia is the LNP Coalition appealing to short term populist positions within the electorate. Most prominent is on anything to do with climate change, as head in the sand business as usual attitudes prevail. Wind power turbines affecting the views of property owners is one example, as the LNP rallies around these disgruntled voters. The idea that technology will save us from global warming without any behavioural changes is very popular among right wing voters.

Facebook Has Ditched Independent Fact Checking

I was listening to the radio whilst driving my car and I was scanning stations for something that took my fancy. The 5pm news came on and I was on a Queensland station that I knew to be owned and run as a Christian radio station. Their news announcer reported that Facebook was now allowing greater free speech on their platforms. This struck me as a strange way to report that Facebook has ditched independent fact checking on their social media platforms of Instagram, Threads and Facebook. I suppose I should not be surprised at this interpretation of facts by a Christian mouthpiece in Queensland.

Facts seem to get in the way of the Right’s definition of free speech. Whether something is true or not appears to be of less importance to folk who just want to feel free to say whatever they like.

Could the moral of the story be beware of former real estate agents bearing gifts in the form of tax relief? Howard and Costello did not heed the warnings from the Productivity Commission
