What sort of Queensland do we want to live in? 

That's the question many Queenslanders have been asking as they have seen Campbell Newman's government move to trample on the separation of powers, judicial independence in Queensland, and attacking parliamentarians who question them, by introducing laws that give the government the power to indefinitely detain people and to arrest people because of who they are with not what they do and to stifle debate. 

Chip in today at -- http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/stand-with-tony-fitzgerald-stand-for-judicial-independence-in-queensland/x/5271789

That's why we're asking you to stand up against these attacks on the judiciary, these attacks on the separation of power, these attacks on the basic tenets of our democracy. 

We know that Campbell Newman and his government are sensitive to public pressure. Let's give them a message so clear that they can't ignore: by being part of this today. 

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/stand-with-tony-fitzgerald-stand-for-judicial-independence-in-queensland/x/5271789

Together, you and I can step up to stop Campbell Newman's power grab and stand for a better Queensland. 

Let's get to it.

    The pollies don’t deserve anymore money, they don’t do anything for this state, except drain it, for their own gain. All their perks when they leave politics should be abolished and receive the pension like everybody else. They are not as special as they think.

    Why oh why does every body want another upper house of Campbell newmans. Isn’t one level of government of newmans enough for anybody. With all the rises in costs and the reduction in services and public sell offs why would we want another level of costs just to ratify what newman is already doing. Think people . The reason we got a newman is because we were gullible and fell for his and the LNP’s lies. Just remember at the next election just as we did at the last who controls the government. WE do . So stop winging and work to throw out this egoistical maniac at the next election

    Every state has an upper house except for Queensland. It’s about time Queensland reintroduced it again. Newman Government needs to stop living in the dark ages.

    On the basis of how Campbell Newman is showing his complete contempt of the people of Queensland, if only we had an Upper House (Senate) maybe we the people, could have been protected from such an unbalanced Premier.

    One would hope Queenslanders will have the good sense not to vote Campbell Newman back into Parliament at the next Queensland Election

    He was not good as an army officer
    He is power hungry and does not care about the people
    He does not keep his promises. Power bills and taxes just keep going up in Queensland
    When you can’t go to the pub and have drink with friends and then be jailed, that sounds like another little man called Hitler

    For a fair go for Queenslanders, we need to restore the Upper House.

    Once again, in the case of the Gonski education reforms, we see our “elected representatives” blatantly lying and back flipping on their election “promises”. Politicians MUST be held accountable for their “promises”, statements and actions. If anyone in business made such unfounded statements and told such blatant lies they would certainly be held to account. Without such accountability our , so-called, democracy is rapidly descending into nothing but a sham. This is how we find ourselves being governed by the likes of Newman and Abbott.

    Along with Abbott and his Federal LNP cronies Newman and his Qld cohorts form the worst State and Federal Governments since Federation. It’s time Australians woke up and vote for something better, if they can jolt themselves out of their apathetic stupor.

    Provided the Upper House is elected and not appointed. And preferably non-political (no parties).

    I was of the opinion that Queensland under the Jo Bjelke-Peterson regime was bad enough, but it would appear Queensland now under the Campbell Newman regime is a thousand times worse. The corruption will just be in another form. Seriously Queenslander’s all we have left for the moment is the power of our vote, but that is now at risk.

    Thank you for your comments and for having your say. It’s because of people stepping up and telling Campbell Newman that ‘enough is enough’ that we can win this fight for a better Queensland.

    Newman and his cronies are simply just a result of a government system that does not have a house of review. Any political system that does not have a check system on government policy is perfect for a despot like Mr Newman. One must ask why Mr Newman is pushing his “30 year plan”? Could it be that Mr Newman honestly believes that he will be in power for 30 years? If that is so, action must be taken now to; A. restrict and control his draconian edicts, B. remove his government as soon as possible, 3. reintroduce the upper house into the Qld as an absolute necessity.

    The dictator Newman has not mentioned what IBM had to contribute to the Health payroll balls up but felt it appropriate to sack health workers whose families will now suffer, there’s something wrong in the state of Denmark. He and his arrogant cronies rule through fear, they have no remorse or feelings when using the big stick to keep the workers and their families living as second class citizens. Shame on you Newman.

    Lets unite and stop privatization before its too late, learn by mistakes of others not take them on board. The Newman government must not be allowed to go back on their previous promises not to allow privatization of QLD assets without a mandate.

    The best way to support Dictators like Campbell Newman is for us to stand by and do nothing !

    Campbell Newman needs to know that we are not going to let him and his power grabbing tactics continue. We want to be heard and we want him to listen to us, what we want. He can not just sack people because they don’t agree with him. He must be held accountable
