Throwing good money after bad....

Those who know me know that one of my pet hates is that disgusting and foul waste of money that was constructed on the site of Lang Park in Brisbane. Of course I am referring to the Suncorp (Scumcorp) Stadium. $400 million of football stadium built out of QUEENSLAND taxpayers money so that BRISBANE can try to alleviate a bit of it's whiney I-wanna-be-like-Sydney-and-Melbourne disease.

We have hospitals that are having wards closed down (which started with the second most inept "health care professional" after "Dr" Jayant Patel: Wendy Edmonds. The minister for health who progressively closed down several extremely important wards at regional centres around the state. She's about 3 health ministers ago and pretty much the lowest on the "health care professional" tree. Here's a hint to what her qualifications were....

"Don't breathe - don't move. I'll just move behind this lead screen. (*bzzz* *click*) OK - you may get dressed and go now."

What does a stadium have to do with hospitals? How about Police? Teachers?

It all has to do with a fiddle-fuddling, jibber-jabbering, Joh Bjelke Peterson wannabe by the name of Peter Beattie (or Petie Beater if you see him for the feeder-of-chooks that he has proved himself to be on oh-so many occasions).

Here we have a state premier who seems to work on the old adage that if you surround yourself with fat people then you will look thin. His idea must have been that if you surround yourself with stupid people, the most gullible of people will think that you are not quite so intellectually challenged. Unfortunately, some of his ministers are obviously not as dumb as he once thought as for people like Wendy Edmonds and Liddy Clarke to be given ministerial positions means that they have the goods on him. If only I knew that info as well - I would make an excellent transport minister.

Before anyone says anything - don't go thinking this is a defence for Lawrie Springborg. This cretin should have been charged under the Domestic Violence Act about a week before the last state election but it is plain to see that he wasn't. Oh yes - remember the old days when people would say (while the state was in the hands of Joh): "Queensland Police: The best force that money CAN buy!"

Is there a point to this? You bet there is....

Here is Queensland. Broke. Screaming out for money. Can't afford police, nurses, teachers, hospitals, air conditioning for schools (or even to remove the asbestos off the roof of the schools). Queensland DOES have the money for ministers to redecorate their offices every time they move into a new one (WITH an upgrade of the air con system). They also have their fuel paid for when they wander aimlessly around the state while attacking cafe owners at Tin Can Bay, presumably not because of the environmental issue but most likely because the minister isn't scoring any coin out of the venture for the budget. Oh dear... seems the utter mismanagement of speed cameras in the state isn't enough to sponsor The Beater's 'study' trips overseas.

Now we get to the news of the last week (or maybe a bit more) where we hear that the Gold Coast is to get it's own football stadium. Fancy that... still short on police & teachers & nurses & hospital beds & the waiting lists are still at record lengths & illiterate halfwits labelled as 'heroes' by other illiterate halfwits (employed by Newscorp & such) get immediate medical attention after falling down while playing a game. Pity about those who actually NEED medical attention through no fault or stupidity of their own!

OK - since the last StuporStadium was handed over free-of-charge to The Donkeys who I detest not because they're not *my* team or anything pathetic like that but because everyone else thinks they are 'heroes' (simple-minded, gullible fools!)
Can you imagine what would happen if a father and son wanted to go to this PUBLICLY FUNDED venue to have a bit of quality time? Yeah - I know what would happen as well.

How many guesses does one need to work out if this new publicly funded venture down on the Gold Coast will have similar sized padlocks on the door?

I say that steps need to be taken to resolve important issues first. Empty out the senior 'executive' building at the end of George St and plonk in a few of those schools around the state that have been denied air conditioning because they are "just outside the boundary of those who need it" (ignoring the fact that the school is usually a demountable building with a perfect hiding place for brown snakes underneath while the outside temperature hits 40-degrees-plus.

Let us see how well parliament performs in those conditions while the future of the country and the world get a bit of luxury to help them learn how to run the world rather than learn how to run it into the ground.
