Is Premier Campbell Newman really an honest and true Christian?

Mr Newman said his" first 100 days in office had been a lot of fun and very, very rewarding to get on with what we'd said we'd do, particularly on the cost-of-living stuff".

I am so relieved the Christian Premier Newman, who told the media he prays every night, really enjoys his very powerful job.

And I wonder if he prays for my innocent, victimised and repeatedly falsely locked-up, falsely prosecuted and systematically suppressed son Jordan every night also?

Does he really care about all the harm this did to Jordan and me?

Cuts to Queensland solar feed in tariff a logical market evolution

SEA Media Release – 26 June 2012

The reduction of a solar feed in tariff in Queensland announced by Premier Campbell Newman is a rational, timetabled change to the feed in tariff structure says the Sustainable Energy Association of Australia (SEA).

‘The Premier has offered forward notice to the industry and customers, allowing forward planning and a 12 month installation timeframe for installations, and provides solar businesses the opportunity to make structural adjustments in an evolving market,’ says SEA chief adviser Professor Ray Wills.

Dexamphetamine and ADHD cons - Mental health policies must move from medication to recovery

Gerry Georgatos
"In Western Australia, 1989, 880 people were prescribed stimulant medication (for ADHD). By the year 2000 this had increased to 20,648, with the WA Health Department estimating 18,000 prescriptions having been issued to children. By 2002 WA prescription rates were amongst the highest in the world, exceeding the US national average,” said Martin Whitely.

Malcolm Fraser and Gough Whitlam, an alliance of views calling out to the Australian consciousness

On Jun 06, 2012 former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser delivered the 2012 Whitlam Oration to the Whitlam Institute in Sydney. Despite the chasm of differences and political ambitions of Malcolm Fraser and Gough Whitlam they are both a far cry from the bottom of the barrel politics and personal ambitions of some our nation's contemporary crop of most prominent politicians.

Malcolm Fraser writes Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison have nothing to be proud about in their race to the bottom of the barrel

From occasional commentator and former PM, Malcom Fraser, via http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/abbotts-evil-policy-work-20120617...

The Coalition's latest asylum seeker plan is inhumane and lacks integrity.

TONY Abbott and Scott Morrison recently stood in front of Australia and proudly presented the Coalition's plan to ''ensure integrity and restore confidence in refugee assessment''. There is not much to be proud about in this policy. The announcement was based on misinformed and misleading information that plays straight into the unfounded public fear of asylum seekers.
