If it is true that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result, then Mayor Mullet has confirmed what has long been suspected … she is barking mad. Her reasons for the move are simply ridiculous and a waste of ratepayers money, and are a dead giveaway… View full story »

Both His Radiance and The Legal Foghorn get a sharp reality check when they try fiddle local government planning laws. Jenny hill shows all the style of an ageing bag lady with her weird Christmas Tree debacle, which is backed up by a disgraceful council performance on the Charters Towers Road pipe works. The Voice… View full story »

And now with the freeing up of reporting rules, it’s clear now that this dropped case is the catalyst for a more broadly based war of words, but it is a war with no rules of enragement – it’s getting quite nasty. However, in answer to reasonable calls for reforms to the legal handling of… View full story »

An attack which included her now probably former BFF Premier Alphabet. But boy, have the likes of Fran O’Callaghan and the dismal performance of the three state stooges got our mayor spooked.

Lindeman Island set to get the benefit of millions that could’ve gone to Radical Bay on Maggie Island. The Juniper acquisition of Lindeman highlights the emptiness of Mayor Mullet’s pig-headed inflexibility and gives the lie to her much vaunted connections with State Labor.

Abbot’s solo song to the choir is nothing but a dog whistle to the hard right and a meatless bone for the Punch’n’Judy media players. Locally, as if ‘nah, mate, it’s Townsville …’ wasn’t a big enough expression of incompetence, it must now be asked what possible argument can there be for TEL’s ratepayer support… View full story »

For start, that old stand-by at the back of the media fridge, hiding behind an opened packet of ‘Cutest Baby’ and next to the storage jar of ‘Grief For People We Didn’t Know And Have Never Heard Of’ was the old stand-by for a frenzied snack – ‘Fat Shaming’. And as always with our fierce,… View full story »

But his latest bluster has more than a blush of hypocrisy about it – great for ironical laughter, though. Always pushing, never questioning …. The Bulletin again aids and abets Mayor Mullet’s insane ‘politics of popularity’ stunt that delivers another groin kick to CBD commercial ratepayers. Peter Gleeson proved to be a plagiarist, lifting word… View full story »

After his idiotic and insulting behaviour towards fallen police, the Mundingburra Mauler refused to resign, but would not confirm that he would stand again for a second term. And therein lies a danger for Townsville, as The Magpie will explain. Reluctance to jump or be pushed overboard appeared to be the political flavour of the… View full story »

The tragi-hilarious blooper by the makers of the localised Townsville version of the Monopoly board game is sorts funny and sorta serious at the same time. The quick quid merchants have been cleverly pranked in their haste to make a quick quid out the city … or were they? A local businessman calls out Mayor Mullet’s… View full story »
