Rats Fleeing a Sinking Ship in QLD

Darth Vader has announced he will be quitting politics at the end of the year. Sorry, I seem to have got that a bit wrong. Yvette D’Ath, Queensland Attorney-General and former Health Minister during the pandemic has decided to quit politics. She tweeted, “Today I can announce that I have decided not to recontest the seat of Redcliffe in the upcoming election. I remain committed to representing the people of Redcliffe and fulfilling my duties until the election in October.” At a press conference yesterday, she said she was committed to helping Labor remain in government. “Whether I’m running or not is irrelevant. I’ll continue to do everything possible to work for the Miles government. We’ve got an election to win.”

As Minister for Health and Ambulance Services during the dark days of the pestilence, she kept us up-to-date with the latest health information.

So it seems like the main role of Ms D’Ath as Health Minister was to continually talk about something that started with the letter V. I don’t know about you, but personally, I’m glad she’s on the way out. Hopefully the current Health Minister Shannon Fentiman has more than just one topic to talk about: “Anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman, and as the Minister for Women, all people who identify as a woman are a part of our policies and strategies to advance gender equality.”

God help us!
