3.. 2...1. It's 1987. Queensland is firmly in the grip of the Hillbilly Dictator. The Courier Mail's Phil Dickie has found a thread. ABC's Chris Masters goes to air with The Moonlight State. This changes Qld forever. Next comes Mr Fitzgerald. #qldpol

The Queensland Nationals did two exemplary things for Australia. One was the implementation of the Fitzgerald Inquiry under Qld Premier Mike Ahern "lock, stock & barrel". The other was sensible gun ownership under Qld Premier Rob Borbidge.

Everyone knows Quokkas are marsupials, right?

A cute, furry quokka - they look like the happy teddy bear version of a kangaroo. This one has a joey in her pouch, another tiny, cute teddy bear poking it's head out to look around.

"the people who spent years warning us about an imaginary #DeepState have built an actual one. The people who claimed to fear unaccountable bureaucrats have installed literally unaccountable bureaucrats. The people who insisted they would drain the swamp have filled it with their own particularly toxic sludge.
