Our Poor Peter Quimby
Hot on the heels of Pete conning enough of the votors in the last election, his pigeons have certainly come home to roost.
THE Beattie Government was last night rocked by the second scandal in two days involving one of its former ministers.
Former tourism and racing minister Merri Rose was yesterday charged over allegations she made threats to obtain a job in the public service.
This coming hot and fast after it was revealed that Peter “Dodging This Issue will take Real Leadership” Beattie’s former minister for telling lies, Gordon Nuttal, was equally in the deep poo.
GORDON Nuttall yesterday predicted he would escape any criminal charges for secretly accepting a $300,000 loan while he was industrial relations minister.
It was revealed on Thursday that one of the state’s richest businessmen, coal magnate Ken Talbot, had paid the money into Mr Nuttall’s personal bank account in 2001.
But the thing I love the most about the ALP, especially in Queensland is their strident belief in the judicial system and the commitment to honour the precept of ‘Innocent until Proven Guilty’
Current and former ministers were either staying silent or refused to publicly back Mr Nuttall with many privately fuming that he had once again embarrassed the Government through alleged wrongdoing.
Ah Queensland, Beautiful One Day, Guilty as hell, the Next.
