This article has a dumb thumbnail & is easy to dismiss.

If you look deeper it's really about how we Queenslanders are vigilant about corruption & how strongly we adhere to the recommendations of Mr Tony Fitzgerald's report. We will go to the assistance of NSW for it. #qldpol

This is the Queensland ABC news report that went out across the state on Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate.

For context, I have read many of journalist Liam Walsh's articles. This is the 1st time I've seen him on the nightly news. You'll have to forgive me; it's been a long time. #qldpol

The #GoldCoast mayor has sworn at a journalist and stormed out of press conference amid questions over a US visit earlier this year.
An #ABC investigation has revealed inconsistencies over whether #TomTate actually dined with President #DonaldTrump at his Florida retreat in Feb.

Queenslanders have always had an uneasy relationship with Qld Police. The commissioner Russ Hinze refers to here is Terry Lewis. The journalists keep pushing through the 80s. From there we get the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Terry Lewis was sentenced to 14 years prison in 1991. #qldpol

In 2017, the Queensland CCC holds an inquiry into the 2016 Queensland council elections. It calls Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate. Full 29mins. #qldpol youtu.be/ZksqqPVqNdw

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate is a lifetime member of the Queensland LNP. We know this from evidence given to the 2017 Qld CCC inquiry into the 2016 Queensland council elections. #qldpol youtu.be/gn0oUGBMxNw

We have to Queenslander woman up in this state. We can't keep blaming the previous government for things. We have to deal with what is in front of us as Queensland women do every day. #qldpol

Good lord. Don’t tell me a Gold Coast mayor who announced a dodgy development from Trump this year has benefited from off the books rorts? And then swore at an ABC journalist?
That could never happen in Queensland!

If you're wondering what I was talking about in my last couple of posts.

This is Queensland in the 1980s. The journos here are relentless & are hitting Minister for Everything Russ Hinze hard across the years.

This later leads to the Fitzgerald Inquiry. #qldpol

David Crisafulli ordered his crew to full sails, out the Port of Brisbane & plunged his ship into unknown waters amidst thick fog. None of us Queensland captains are risking vessels & lives to sail in there to find them. #qldpol

Is this really happening? Are the Queensland media getting their 1980s Russ Hinze confrontation style back? Is this the revitalisation of the old gumshoe journos with their no-holds barred, in the politician's face, no backward steps & relentless pursuit of the truth? #qldpol

I have a feeling in my waters that Tom Tates future will be ugly #qldpol

Well, well, well. Australia, remember all that nonsense about the Trump Tower for the Gold Coast? It was BS at the time & it's now a bigger pile.

Queensland council elections scheduled for 2028. #qldpol
