WHERE’S SECRET WEAPON?
LETTERS, they draw me like a moth to the flame. I can’t resist the urge to throw my hat in the ring, so here goes.
First up we have Colin Baker of Pentland asking all and sundry: “how voters can be so moronic, foolish and dimwitted?”
Well Colin, as the late-great PM Bob Hawke said in one very impassioned re-election speech: “Never underestimate the stupidity of the Australian voting public!”
Perhaps the tables may turn on these knife-wielding idiots when MP Aaron Harper cleans the rust and cobwebs off his ‘secretweapon-to-combat-juvenilecrime’.
Let’s hope that Aaron filled out his PTA – permit to acquire paperwork to Queensland weapons licensing in the correct fashion and they rubberstamp it ASAP.
God knows we need some protection from all the crazy stuff that is happening 24/7 in our oncebeautiful city.
OK, on to the text from Steve, Belgian Gardens, TB 16/9 re Katter Party stance on VAD.
Spot on this time Steve, sometimes I think Snowy whacks poor Robbie with his favourite idiot stick and drags him off into forwards-backward land, you know, two steps forward then one step back.
Strange party this one, having
had a keen interest in the many good things they have implemented over the years through sheer tenacity and hard work, now we’ll have to send bullet-wound dressings; definitely shot themselves in the foot on this one, again! Up next, great cartoon TB, 16/9 once again, spot on. Yes, we all get a bit jittery around storm season. Rightly so, complacency can be lethal, and so it is with Covid-19.
One couldn’t contemplate what we would face if the two combined. Our Mayor Jenny Hill has put it out there loud and clear the potential for virus-infected cyclone shelters to create a catastrophic event with no parallel.
Perhaps the safest shelter in town is the Queensland Country Bank Stadium. After all, look at the footy matches and other events, not even a cough, cold or fart has escaped this hallowed ground.
Please let me close with apologies to the long-suffering Bunty Ellis-freeman, Bushland Beach TB, 16/9. Sorry Bunty if this all looks like I’m having a Vikki Campion moment; I’m not. There is only one Vikki Campion, ask her boss.
I would bet London to a brick that she can multi-task and cover a wide range of interesting topics like no other. A lot of blokes would be pushed to the max. Credit where it’s due, I would say.
ROSS SMITH,
Gulliver.
