shortly Posted July 26, 2014 THE Queensland Premier says he has an open mind about legalizing marijuana for medical purposes but will wait until after the next election to tell everyone that either we didnt understand what he was saying or his usual tactic of just taking a completely different direction that while we half expected it will be nothing like what the grub promised. Seriously politicians should be required to keep their promises on pain of death! Or better yet their pensions & benefits, tell a porky & hand back all the cash, cars, office & staff, entitlements to travel etc etc etc! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtarman Posted July 27, 2014 Yeah the guy's a slimeball. He's quite happy (in the same breath) to declare that we can't afford anything due to our state debt, and then to spend $40,000 of public funds on his own private security for his house. Because he knows that almost everyone hates him. And he certainly hasn't made friends of the bikies 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
