And to think he tried to take on federal politics with his Joh for PM campaign which helped destroy the LNP coalition at the 1987 elections, how could Queensland be so stupid for so long?
Three members of Parliament were convicted for corruption, a forth died before he could be tried, and the Police Commissioner was also convicted for corruption.
Oh yes, power generation for the people, but cash in his pocket, profit for him. And he had the worst police force in the world. Corrupt in the extreme, and involved in all sorts of crimes, including murder. Jobs for the boys. And Terry Lewis as Police Commissioner? what a joke, well he was part of "the joke". ( the police on the take). The shonks that Joh wanted. Silly old fart. The honest cops of the day hardly had a chance.
Sick of people bagging Joh for corruption. He did not take his huge parliamentary pension he was owed for being a MP from 1947 to 1987. He did not die a wealthy man,
Some of us lived thru his reign of terror. He was a vicious evil despot, using his police to enforce his way. Peaceful protest was outlawed. Says it all.
@@juliegaffney1849 If he was so vicious how many people did he kill and torture, how many people were in poverty. The state was prosperous, there was development and the people elected him. Its only the lefties and do goodies who dislike him
@@maxsonthonax1020 Yes I studied and more well read than you. Yes there was gerry mandering under Sir Joh which favoured rural electorates. This was introduced by a former Labor Government in 1950 by the Hanlon. In fact most state governments and even federal governments have had gerry mandering often to give more weight to rural electorates which neglected by the inner city elites
QLD abolished death duty’s under sir Joh, and had the cheapest electricity in the world, also QLD had free hospital and medical thanks to Sir Joh, that was “before” Medibank/Medicare was introduced. Real estate was affordable, registration and fuel was the cheapest in Australia. When a QLDer could pay the rates, water, electricity, and car rego from one fortnight’s pay, and still have enough left for a week’s groceries and a tank of fuel.
Anywone that thinks that joh's communication was anything other than disjointed bluster has some sort of attention disorder. You should get that checked out....too much red cordial or meth.
Great leader who made Queensland great and didn't end up rich from politics. Only problem was that he tried to go federal and acting premier called the enquiry. The left wing media and legal fraternity brought him down, not the people!!
So you dont believe Terry Lewis and the three members of parliament were guilty of corruption? Or do you believe Joh was oblivious to all of this, if that is the case why did Joh repeatedly interfere with Ray Whitrods attempts to clean up the QLD Police and stop his attempts to have inquiries into police brutality?
@@maxsonthonax1020 Only lefties and idiots support Labor criminals. He did more things than all the corrupt Labor governments of Beattie, Bligh and Palasczyk did
Just shows how dumb Queenslanders were they kept voting him in
Still voting for drills like the fish shop attendant.
I'm sick of people trying to tarnish his legacy. He was an excellent leader for QLD and his courage and integrity always shone through.
Queensland had a dictator ???Friendly Geordies brought me here

Gerrymander as well... don't forget that.
It's called gerrymander. Also used the police to instill fear in protestors or opposition.
They’ll say the same about Dan Andrews.
@@logan8364Makes no sense.
from a crooked Liberal Party
He was Nationals bruz.
Well some things never change Trump uses the same gobbledygook to answer questions
Allegations of corruption??
Three members of Parliament were convicted for corruption, a forth died before he could be tried, and the Police Commissioner was also convicted for corruption.
This is a very biased story, not wanting to put Joh fans offside. Note some of the commenters here, still!
What a crook!
Qld had the worlds cheapest electricity under Joh.
Don't tell lies.
Power generation not for profit for the people.
Joh did more for QLD than anyone.
i will tell you some other time in a place that you will not like and you may not like what i have to tell you in that place you will not like
And the worst corruption.

Fark, the wording, esp. the introduction. 🙄
He was an early trump but smarter. Seemed to last for ever.
Man, there’s no corruption like that of corrupt Christian

He was very very very good for the states economy. Look at photos from before he was Premier and after.
@@lukeprimon1864It's "do-gooders". Obviously you don't understand the concept of gerrymandering either. Your ignorance is bulletproof.
