Many moons ago when i were a card carrying member of the QLD Wilderness Society ah would sit there in meetings (in a union owned building i believe) listening to managment telling us how they dictated to the govmint - and they often did... votes yer see..
So this was a
lot different to when that famous bastion of criminality Joh was in power - didn't he dictate that he was the Government and told the police commissioner what to do (he often did).
He didn't understand the "Separation of Powers"
