    proposed sweeping powers for fair trading inspectors

    What's next? Union members on a special branch list? Bob

    having seen some of the handy work of mobile traders it doesn't surprise me that this sort of bill is coming forward...

    be interesting to see how it is implemented if it sees the light of day..

    The only people I pull over for are Police Officers in Uniform and emergency vehicles or emergency workers as directed. Does this mean that I, as a completely innocent citizen can be fined $18,000 for failing to pull over for someone I don't recognise.

    If a person is conducting illegal business then it is a law situation. More police should be recruited to arrest people breaking the law, not some inspector appointed by someone we don't even relate to.

    Would you pull over?

    Well you Queenslanders voted for this neo fascist whacko and compounded the issue by ensuring he has no opposition to keep him on the straight and narrow. "You reap what you sow".

    Anyone for pumpkin scones ?

    I believe you have an election coming up, & your speaker has been forced to resign. I will be watching with interest, Bob

    He's certainly not mine .

    The difference between Queensland's answer to the 'Tea Party' and our lot down here is that our nitwits cabinet doesn't have a collective IQ of 100 whereas 'Benito' Newmans lot are far more dangerous (as opposed to merely inept.) compounded by Queensland's lack of an upper house.

    And the avid anti LNP people might look up a little history and see what happened to the Qld upper house. As Deano says "you reap what you sow!"

    Yes, it is interesting, but you must read the full story. Even both opposition parties did not want the Upper House . Bob

    depends who's in power and what value the upper house is to them.....Paul Keating called it "unrepresentative swill" , if I remember correctly.
