Joh’s gone
He will be remembered by many. Don’t you worry about that.”
Noy much to be said about Joh that hasn’t already been said but my take on the whole affair is to remember, with pleasure, Joh sacking the ETU thugs that held the state to ransome over power supply. I also seem to recall his saying that if you don’t let the power back on I’ll release your names, addresses and telephone numbers to the press.
Young mothers and businesses going to the wall over union thuggery. Joh read the peoples feelings and reacted.
They folded, of course, as they knew Queenslanders were ready to slaughter them for their arrogance.
I’m glad they still feel the pain. Maintain the rage, fellows – nobody cares. Have a street march every May – it’ll always bring a smile to my face.

He was a crook, pure & simple. He caused pain & misery to many, lining his own pockets along the way. That he died a virtual pauper fills me with gratitude for the smallest spark of justice in an unjust world. At least a Bunya pine will benefit for a few weeks.
As I recall it, he really only caused pain & misery to left wing radicals. By and large he improved the economy and the state progressed. He did a lot of things that I don’t agree with but I always thought he was well intentioned and I didn’t care if the police stopped some people demonstrating – seemd OK at the time. Particularly in the case of unions holding the people to ransom.
Ah, yes how did I know that Niall would come on to the scene with so little to offer.
At least Joh did what he said he would do, and more precisely to the benefit of the greater majority. To quote Doug Anthony “Others would argue his actions protected the democratic rights of the majority”.
And therein lies the strength of Joh, he would not be pushed around by critics such as journalists, academics, civil libertarians and left wing unionists – in other words those with so little to offer our society except empty rhetoric.
I saw some of those brain deads protesting last tuesday in Brisbane. Some of them, had only just been, or weren’t even born when Joh left parliament.
If he caused misery and pain it was only because they deserved it.
For example. I keep hearing about the Electricity dispute. That is the same dispute that so adversely affected ordinary hard working Queenslanders all those years ago. Those Electricity workers had a choice —- they chose the wrong one. Stiff.
