@alcookster@AEUfederal@TheQTU Can confirm Alan was a State High School teacher at my own State High School. I still struggle not to call him Mr Cook when I say hi!
Instead of seizing the opportunity to put our people in the driver’s seat, some choose to squabble about mechanics like sequencing and destroy our hopes for achieving “good” in their pursuit of ambiguous “perfect”.

"I cannot recall in my entire time involved in Queensland politics where an individual MP has been vilified to the same extent over one bill".
@ginarush sat down with Jackie Trad the morning after abortion was decriminalised in Queensland.

Abortion has just been decriminalised in Queensland, confirming this is a health issue for a woman not a criminal one. To all that who fought for many years to pass this important reform – thank you. #qldpol
@CartwheelPrint @justdanfornow I think he is referencing the former ALP Member for Hinkler who is now a tory and would probably support it. Not the former State members for Bundaberg.
The absurdity of the appointment of Mr. Abbott to the role of 'envoy' on Indigenous affairs demonstrates the Government's lack of respect for First Nations.
As one of my good friends, an old West Australian man told me:
'We don't need an envoy. We need an Abbott Proof Fence.'
While the LNP has made someone like @TonyAbbottMHR their Indigenous Affairs Envoy - I’m proud that Labor women like Leeanne Enoch & Malarndirri McCarthy are always fighting to close the gap and deliver real results for both Indigenous & non-Indigenous Australians #qldpol#auspol
It is through truth telling and treaties that we can finally set the rightful course of this state and nation – a course that respectfully includes the interests of First Nations Peoples for a brighter future. #Queensland#qldpol
