AFTER a nail-biting wait of 20 days, Sarah Caisip finally received approval from the Queensland government to enter Queensland so she could farewell her dying dad.
Sarah’s dad had already passed away, the Queensland government having overlooked the fact that death does not recognise bureaucratic timeframes.
On Friday, diminutive 26-year-old Sarah, having been refused permission to attend the funeral, was given permission to view her deceased dad prior to him going to his final resting place.
In what can only be described as degrading humiliation, Sarah appeared on TV screens across Australia and the world, decked out like a moon-walking astronaut, wearing surgical scrubs, a face shield and mask.
HEARTLESS
For goodness sake, the poor little thing was going alone into the viewing room. Did the authorities this time overlook the fact that Sarah’s dad was permanently beyond the reach of Corona or any other virus? Did they overlook the fact that that his heartbroken daughter had come from the ACT, which had been COVID-19 free for the previous 60 days?
Or was there something more sinister at work here? Was Palaszczuk demonstrating to Queenslanders, before the election, the lengths she was prepared to go to safeguard Queensland electors?
Sarah was the victim of Queensland’s border closure. Prime Minister Scott Morrison deferentially and obsequiously pleaded with Premier Palaszczuk to make an exception on the grounds of compassion and allow Sarah to attend the funeral.
Premier Palaszczuk indignantly characterised herself as a victim, proclaiming “I will not be bullied or intimidated by the Prime Minister of this country”.
Another oversight: the Premier disregarded the fact that she was the head of the State and attempted to hide behind her Chief Medical Officer, proclaiming to the Prime Minister that the decision was one for her employee to make and not the Premier herself.
EXCEPTION
Ironically in 1748, in an era when women were unjustly undervalued, the political philosopher Baron de Montesquieu, the father of the separation of powers concept for the checks and balances in a democracy, correctly opined that because of their “gentleness and moderation”, women were fit to govern an empire. Queensland is the exception that proves the rule.
Here’s a message for Chairman Dan: if you want to regain top spot for lack of humanity and compassion, you’ll have to go one better than a 23hr curfew.PC
I completely agree with the above analysis of the QLD Premier who tries to hide the true genetic heritage of her heartlessness by using a western pronunciation of her last name. However her behaviour gives her away. Would she also sink to the depths of the leader of her true heritage background country by giving Novochock to her dissenters? However she would call it Novoshay of course! Cheers Melanie
A well-written article Mr. Laucis; I’m sure most Aussies would have felt a need to give that sweet young woman a big hug!
The authors at Politicom are picturing so well, the monstrous daily occurrences and Stasi-like restrictions that have descended on us all. One of the most terrifying results of Stasi oppression in East Germany under Communist rule, was that many of the inhabitants became so mentally damaged, so robotic, that they stopped thinking and passively accepted the evil persecution.
Wake up Melbourne and Brisbane, start up the engines for the massively long road to fixing our economy.
As Alan Jones suggested on Sky last night: Morrison MUST exert a huge effort to -(I can hardly believe I’m writing this in Australia) – tear down the walls, by re-calling Parliament and put forward the relevant legislation. Then – as is most probable – Labor and the Greens block this move for Democracy, it will be on their stultifying, callous, destructive heads that the onus will very rightly fall when Australians finally want revenge.
If, by a miracle, the law is passed, then – marvellous, the state-Stasi will have been defeated as they should have been months ago, life can assume some normality once more!
For quite some time, my main desire has been that the Government I support should be Conservative and non-intrusive, try to lower taxes, supply us with solid, 24hr, cheap electricity, support free speech and freedom of religion, reform our education system and delete ‘wokeism’ (e.g. climate alarmism, sexual fluidity, identity politics) from our schools.
Now with the ghastly social turmoil and nightmarish authority brought on by this latest virus, I realise I have completely by-passed something vitally important: -that our Leaders need to be of excellent character.
Perhaps there should be some psychological test they must pass when they stand for election and definitely before they assume leadership?
—— They must have depth of character to resist unwise, shallow pursuits.
——They must have intelligence to avoid hypocrisy, to acknowledge mistakes.
—— They must possess compassion, with human empathy forming their decisions.
——They must have morality and honour so that they accept their responsibilities and ‘passing the buck’ never occurs.
——They must have great humility so that they never desire destructive, blinding, overweening power.
Well said Jennifer, but you missed one vital point. To live up to the standards you have noted, they would also have to move their allegiances from Left to Right. The values you request are not compatible with the ambitious, self serving Left! Cheers Melanie
