In Washington State Fish + Wildlife has conducted mass killings of Bass (Spiny Ray) fish, by super-oxygenating the water. Then they would re-plant Trout. I think it's a fool's errand almost. Good luck Australia. Put a bounty on them + turn your Asian citizens loose. They can make it taste great.

Her Honour NSW Coroner Teresa O'Sullivan will now examine all evidence presented in this tragedy. The office of the coroner is a noble one & dates back to 1194. Cases are sad to hear & the coroner cannot bring people back. Truth & prevention through recommendations are the goals.

It appears the media hasn't received the message from us here in SEQ about Pauline Hanson. Let me say it in Queenslander.

When ONP approaches you for a story you tell them to go get fucked. Use acronym GGF if you like. Then you tell them to go fuck themselves again. #auspol

We SEQs have been telling Aus for decades how to deal with Pauline Hanson. (See post on Premier Rob Borbidge).

In 2017 the media was in conniptions. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said ok but if you do that I'll lead back into opposition. #qldpol youtu.be/5X_W0oO0h4E
