21 June 2009“Tasers are not the ’non-lethal’ weapons the QPS [Queensland Police Service] leadership claims”, former state MP and former police officer Peter Pyke told the media in April. He predicted a Queenslander would die in 2009 from a Taser.
He was tragically proven right with the death of a North Queensland man on June 12.

From: Comment & Analysis, Green Left Weekly issue #795
Labor delivered its budget on May 12 in the context of Australia’s slide into recession. With the economic crisis hitting hard, young people are one of the most vulnerable groups in society.
The budget delivered young people many losses and a few small gains.
Overall, it doesn’t resolve any of the fundamental issues facing youth
today.
In particular, the budget failed to take necessary action on youth unemployment, student poverty and the environment.
