Queensland...those who forget the past are bound to relive it.

[2011G6E]

Not just talking about the bad old days of Joh's rule when a gathering of three or more in public could be classed as an "illegal protest" and the Plod would descend in numbers...

This is an interesting one:

I've exchanged ONE word in this quote from a political leader from a foreign country from some years back. Can you guess who said it?

"For us, this is not a problem you can turn a blind eye to-one to be solved by small concessions. For us, it is a problem of whether our nation can ever recover its health, whether the Bikie spirit can ever really be eradicated. Don't be misled into thinking you can fight a disease without killing the carrier, without destroying the bacillus. Don't think you can fight racial tuberculosis without taking care to rid the nation of the carrier of that racial tuberculosis. This Bikie contamination will not subside, this poisoning of the nation will not end, until the carrier himself, the Bikie, has been banished from our midst".

This works better than I expected. In this one I changed two words, adding "bikies" and "Queensland" instead of the original words:
"So, we are now going to have a total solution to the bikie question. The programme is clear. It reads: total separation, total segregation! What does this mean? It does not only mean the total exclusion of the bikies from the Queensland economic system... It means much more! No Queenslander can be expected to live under the same roof as bikies. The bikies must be chased out of our houses and our residential districts and made to live in rows or blocks of houses where they can keep to themselves and come into contact with Queenslanders as little as possible. They must be clearly identified.... And when we compel the rich bikies to provide for the `poor' of their race, which will certainly be necessary, they will all sink together into a pit of criminality. As this happens, we will be faced with the harsh necessity of eradicating the bikie underworld, just as we root out criminals from our own orderly state: with fire and sword. The result will be the certain and absolute end of bikies in Queensland; its complete annihilation!"

Has the same tone as Newmans rhetoric about bikies, how "the public needs to be our eyes and ears", how we should be turning in people we know who have bikie affiliations or who might know bikies.
You might be surprised...or you might not...when you see who made this quote originally.

You could just as easily substitute "hoon" where I have used "bikie" and it would be fairly close in some cases...but bikes are more relevant because of what's going on in our state.
