New Year tosh on law order – a bill to enable the Parole Board to do something it can do already
06 Jan 2020 Leave a comment
Hamilton West MP Tim Macindoe apparently has spent some of his Christmas holiday time thinking about law and order and how to make us safer in our beds. Let’s hope he comes up with some brighter ideas than the one he announced in a press statement yesterday.
The statement announced he has lodged a private member’s bill crafted – it seems – to ensure convicted murderers who won’t reveal the location of their victim’s bodies will be denied parole.
Macindoe explains:
“An important part of coming to terms with the death of a loved one is the closure of bringing their body home. Sadly, there are some offenders who refuse to disclose where the bodies of their victims are.
“This adds considerably to the distress of relatives who sometimes spend a lifetime agonising over what might have happened, and their inability to hold a funeral and lay their family member…

Oppose the new terrorism law – Say No to Control Orders
06 Jan 2020 Leave a comment
Fair enough critique except for the defence of terrorists in the Phillipines.
The government is seeking to rush through new terrorism legislation – they have given just FOUR days for the public to make submissions. This rushed process is a serious violation of democratic process, and the law is unnecessary.
MAKE A SUBMISSION
We are encouraging people to make a brief submission to Parliament opposing the Terrorism Suppression (Control Orders) Bill for the following reasons
Here are some points you can make in your submission:
- The government is rushing through legislation, curtailing public input into legislation that severely restricts human rights including right to freedom of movement and fair trial rights.
- The government says control orders are necessary because the existing Terrrosim Suppression Act (TSA) may be unable to secure a prosecution. The government was told 11 years ago that the TSA needed significant changes. Thus far, neither a Labour nor National-party led government has sought to address this. Now it is…

Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
06 Jan 2020 5 Comments
Dan and Lily: derangement meets delusion.
Victorians can thank their dangerous and delusional Labor government for their power pricing and supply calamity.
Last summer saw mass blackouts and load shedding, following sudden, routine and total collapses in wind and solar output (calm weather and sunset does it every time).
Back then its Premier, Daniel Andrews and Energy Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio made the risible claim that its (no) power woes were all down to the ‘unreliability’ of Victoria’s coal-fired power plants.
With retail power prices at record highs and more mass blackouts looming, this pair of lunatics continue to maintain the rage at Victoria’s so-called ‘ageing’ coal-fired plants.
War of words as energy crisis heats up

A leading energy market expert has dismissed Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’s claim renewable energy is “more reliable” than coal-fired power, saying the state’s key problem is a…
