And he breaks down! I don’t know about you but I would like to think that someone chosen to head up a coronial inquest could face the problems without breaking into tears and walking away.

The pic with the article has Greg Cavanagh being consoled by deputy Helen Roberts.

It was all too much for him so he eventually returned and promptly adjourned the inquiry.

They need help not tears. The mother of the lad that sniffed in front of Greg and caused such abject misery, Ms Goodwin, wipes a tear from her eyes and says;

… [my] son had been sniffing a “long, long time”.

“We can’t stop nothing,” she said. “When they sniff, they don’t listen to mother, father, family.”

So stop him sniffing, ban petrol in the community, lock him up, try discipline – try anything but don’t just sit there and cry.

DUCK and quail hunting have been banned in Queensland in a move welcomed by animal welfare groups.

Environment Minister Desley Boyle today announced a permanent ban, saying she was contacted 700 times in the past year on duck hunting and only 15 of those were in favour of the practice.

There’s the formulae guys, it doesn’t take long to organize 700 letters/emails on any subject and you too can enjoy the power of governing by protest.

Ministers falling on their swords all over Queensland so let’s introduce a measure to pick up a few animal rights votes and take everyones attention off the resignations.

Government by protest…way to go.
