Thank you Jan for stating the obvious, it is a department out of control with inexperience and a sense of loathing for parents.
The Minister has always shirked her responsibility. Just what is her job again and how much does she get paid to pass the buck?
Ms - Dear Mr Springborg, I am appalled at the use of speed cameras as a tool for further revenue collection especially
considering the hard times being endured. Collecting speeding fines from people a few kilometers over the speed limit cannot be
considered a remedy to decrease our road toll...nothin...
LNP's vision - Dear Mr. Springborg, I for one am sick of Labor's lack of vision and extremely poor record in managing the state.
Fact is Labor has not had a vision at all. I would like to hear LNP's vision for QLD for the next electoral term and beyond as
state govt. Every state construction at this pr...

too soft on criminals while being too hard on the vic...
Dr. - Dear Mr Springborg, I am appalled at this latest move to wipe out the large and efficient Royal Childrens Hospital in
favour of a single substitute at the Mater. I have spent my whole working life at the Mater and cannot agree with this crazy
decision. You must oppose the decision . With over a mill...
Ms - ADOPTION CONSULTATION PAPER. I hope the LNP keep the pressure on the government re: changing the legislation. After
waiting so long to see the current biased legislation abolished I am fearful that the report will be filed away and the status quo
maintained.
