Just watched on southern TV the presenter saying that the Qld premier ‘is so popular throughout Queensland’ - I’d say, in the venacular of an iconic Australian movie ‘son, tellem they’re dreaming’ ! POP BUSHYBCH
How dare that woman keep spruiking about how her and her government are keeping us safe! Seriously I read in the paper how these protected animals are now chasing and ramming police vehicles. Ask the security guard who had his car rammed how safe he feels in our wonderful state. The police offices are not allowed to chase these parasites. How safe do they feel at their workplace? My greatest hope before I die is that fellow Queenslanders see you politicians for what you are at the next election. BIG MIKE TOWNSVILLE
So the police are not allowed to do their job, Mr harper how do think the crime problem will be solved. It appears the car thieves are running the town and you and your mob are protecting them. How about protecting us who pay your wage? If you can’t handle the job, resign. MARTYMTLOUISA

Well another night of terror on the streets of Townsville, cop cars again rammed, a copper taken to hospital after a rock thrown through the cop car window. Well Mark Ryan and Harper, will it take a coppers death before you get rid of the useless youth justice laws or will they have to patrol the streets in a Armoured Personnel Carrier? politicians. 20 years ago Australian citizens stranded overseas would be rescued and brought home.

Dying (VAD). Well Aaron why are you silent on crime in Townsville. Why aren’t you supporting us citizens COOP 4814
Aaron Harper MP in your letter Tsv Bulletin 08/09 you state “This is a sad reflection of these MPS in North Queensland who are not listening to their constituents.” Is this some kind of self reflection or just your standard level of hypocrisy? Block away my boy, block away! CM WEST END
My God apparently Aaron Harper listens to his constituents (letter 08/09) for VAD. I am all for the VAD bill, but it would be good if he’d listen to his constituents when it comes to our crime problem, instead of blocking us from his social media accounts. ROCK KIRWAN

It’s not that hard to understand. JASE AVALE
