AN OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER ABBOTT: From Dr D Pascoe a Darling Downs Veterinary surgeon

Pictured is David Quince

Dear Prime Minister Abbott,

About a week ago, the home of David Quince, a well-known Liverpool Plains farmer and prominent anti-CSG activist, was the subject of an attempted break in.

They – whoever they might be - knew that David was at home alone and tried to break into his house at 3.00 am in the morning.

From all accounts, it was an extremely frightening experience.

David Quince is one of the finest and most respected farmers not merely on the Liverpool Plains – but in Australia.

He is also one of the very toughest and the very bravest: like ourselves, he has led the charge and never taken a single backward step when it came to defending his land and what he believed to be right.

My wife Heather and I know exactly what David Quince has gone through.

We have also stood up to defend our land and do what we believed to be right in the face of what is now a virtual mining invasion.

Our home has been broken into no less than three times since September 2013.

Heather was targeted the first time, with her computers, laptops and IPads removed and her files forensically searched.

We were broken into again in April 2014, and I was the target this time: all of my computers, laptops, IPads, binoculars, cameras and tape recorders were stolen, as well as my files being searched. My Land Cruiser was also stolen.

Our house was again broken into the next night, despite being secured by carpenters and locksmiths. After putting in security and dogs, more intruders were apprehended on the next night.

Four nights later, a helicopter was sat ten metres above our house at midnight. Since then, we have been forced to move out of our family home and seek security.

We have received no satisfaction at all from local Toowoomba police.

As you know, this matter was raised by Bob Katter in Federal Parliament a few weeks ago and the investigation of Federal Police has been sought.

This matter was also raised by ourselves on Friday at the Senate Committee Investigation into the Newman Government in Queensland.

 
No Australian should be forced to endure the *terrorization and trauma that David Quince and my wife and I have been forced to endure.

Prime Minister, we would like to ask you a few simple questions.

How long can we expect to see prominent Australian citizens being treated this way, and on your watch?

When, from a Prime Minister and our Commander in Chief, will you protect the citizens of our nation and defend our prime agricultural land and scant water resources against this foreign mining invasion?

It is time for you to stand up and be counted.

The Australian people expect nothing less.

Kind regards

Dr David Pascoe

TOXIC FLUID SPILL AT GLENUGIE

GLENUGIE UPDATE:
Metgasco have just had a spill of toxic fluids on the site at Glenugie. Pipeline split/came apart and copious quantities of an unknown substance have spilled onto the ground. Whatever it is in the spill was toxic enough that workers ran to shift some green drums (containing more toxic crap). THIS is why we are fighting!

20 years old and jailed for 35 years.. More crimes like this will be on the rise.

People and humanity and its weaknesses are in the spot light again.  This is now occurring after young 20 year old Jason Downie, killed his ex girlfriend and her parents in a jealous rage and admitted he should have thought about it.


He is now facing 35years in prison.  He said he was fuelled by jealousy that quickly turned to rage and he himself cannot even believe the reality of what he has done.  If this does not speak volumes about what is  happening to our young people as a result of this two bit crap society we are living in.  NO ONE should be surprised really.  I sort of feel for this kid. I totally feel for the girl's family as well.  He will have PTSD now from his own trauma as well.

Pretty much jealousy. I thought we had something on. When I learned when she was with Dylan, I wasn't happy. I pretty much got angry. Like I said to you before, I had nothing against the parents.   Triple killer Jason Downie

The Psychologist is spot on with his evaluation :

"The brother, he's lost obviously his whole family. Everyone's a victim in this, close friends and family, my family, the community, everyone. The only one that is not a victim is me.
"I'm not a good person. Obviously I got problems. The problems? I'm not too sure - don't know. I'll always think about the day of what happened and the consequences."
The psychologist said: "I asked Mr Downie what his motive was for the crime and he replied 'Pretty much jealousy. I thought we (Chantelle Rowe and Downie) had something on. When I learned when she was with Dylan, I wasn't happy. I pretty much got angry. Like I said to you before, I had nothing against the parents'."
The psychologist went on: "The community's response is to assume that the offender is a "monster" or seriously psychologically disturbed. The idea that an unremarkable member of the community can perpetrate such violence is unthinkable because it raises the possibility that all individuals are capable of violence.
"The reality is that Mr Downie's crimes are not the by-product of severe psychopathology but stem from the fallibility and flaws of the imperfect human condition (ie: biblical motives such as jealousy).
"He appears to have gone from infatuation to anger and resentment to homicidal rage, which led to a frenzied attack on the victims."

I see that Downey  is the  epitome of the product of the society we are living in.  This sort of crime will be on the sharp rise.  It already is.  Many very young people are now in custody as the result of using serious violence as a result of a situation that has gotten out of hand. It either gets out of hand in their head or in the moment.  I am really noticing this and being who I am it isn't a wonder as I noticed the warning signs some thirty years ago.

I feel  it will become decidedly worse as more doctors prescribe serious mind bending anti psychotic medications often from a misdiagnosis sending ever young people into a spiral of serious issues as the medication continues to play havoc on more and more people.  People just cannot be trusted to take medication well either.  We are human, how many woman have forgotten their pill and paid the price with an unwanted pregnancy.  Proof people do not mean to fail but they do.

The police respond with murderous and clumsy attitudes. They are trained to kill and not to maim. This is still something that mystifies me in this day and age.  As a society, we should be speaking out about this!  We should be demanding more of our force.  The men and woman who are carrying these weapons and who in charge of the carrying out of the law of the land and so on.  I, for one think this is appalling and it isn't safe for any of our children or our grandchildren.  It goes hand in hand as the kids are having more and more bad reactions to these medications and wind up finding themselves shot dead.  Some have even been tazored to death as well  and others have been left damaged by the police and their approach where primarily the person isn't a criminal but in fact a sick and a disabled person.

How is any of this fair?  Who may I ask is winning out of this?

The society as a whole has seriously let its young people down like this Jason Downey and his victims

The accident occurred on the Waterfall Way, less than 1km north of Bellingen at about 8pm in a 100kph speed zone, according to police crash investigators.

The victim, believed to be a local 32-year-old woman, was apparently walking along the road in the dark.

It appears that after the woman was hit , witnesses rushed to render first aid, but the woman was not conscious or breathing and shortly after went into cardiac arrest.

Paramedics arrived and commenced CPR, however, the woman died at the scene.

Ambulance, police including detectives, crime scene and crash investigators and SES attended the scene.

Police spoke to family and witnesses, and at about 2am police found a car wanted in relation to the crash and sent a tow truck to a Bellingen address to collect the vehicle.

A man is currently being interviewed by police in relation to the crash.

Waterfall Way north of Bellingen was closed for approximately seven hours while police conducted investigations and traffic was diverted around the crash scene.
