Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll stands down March 1 but her absence will not resolve Labor’s maladministration
[soliloquy id="48733"]

Catching armed offenders in stolen cars is no longer a priority for Queensland Police after a senior officer from the Gold Coast was stood down for allowing officers on patrol to ram a stolen car.
Police had been tracking a group who had stolen an Audi 5 on January 29 which was allegedly involved in multiple dangerous driving incidents in the following days.
On January 31, the Audi was driven to a house in Pacific Pines and people armed with weapons got out and allegedly threatened people at the home before stealing the Arteon.
The two vehicles went to a house in Mermaid Waters the following day, with people in the vehicles allegedly involved in a failed carjacking attempt.
The two cars were then tracked by police. Police were authorised by Senior Sgt Arron Ottaway to ram the Arteon, after deploying stingers, subsequently arresting the offenders who were dangerously driving the vehicle on its rims after the tyres were shredded by ground spikes.
Officers also arrested the people in the Audi.
Two days after the incident, officers attended Sgt Ottaway’s house just after 8pm and issued him with “professional development” paperwork in front of his wife and children. On February 8, Sen Sgt Ottaway was stood down pending the outcome of an investigation into the pursuit.
After the February 1 incident police arrested two 15-year-olds, three 18-year-olds and a 17-year-old in relation to the incident.
Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll has been urged to intervene and reinstate the respected Gold Coast officer amid mounting pressure from frontline staff.
In the wash of Sgt Ottoway’s suspension from active duty, Commissioner Carroll today stated she would not renew her contract with QPS after it expires in July. She will stand down on March 1.
The Queensland Police Union has finally entered the fray between senior management and frontline police which has seriously affected morale and engendered public dissatisfaction with police performance and being unable to protect the public.
“This is an example of the disconnect between senior management in the South Eastern Police Region and frontline police,” QPU president Ian Leavers told News Ltd.
“Senior Sergeant Ottaway should be receiving commendation for co-ordinating the apprehension of serious criminals and instead the police hierarchy are standing him down from operational duty.
“It is no surprise crime is out of control in the Gold Coast when the police hierarchy are so out of touch with frontline policing that they would rather stand down hard working police than let them apprehend (alleged) criminals,” he said.
“It seems the senior police hierarchy on the Gold Coast would rather police sat behind desks than be out keeping the community safe and apprehending (alleged) criminals.
“We have a crime wave at the moment where the public are demanding police take action,” Mr Leavers said on Tuesday.
“And what they are saying is we want the police to protect us and that’s where we go back to the Bourke Street massacre. Some of the findings out of that was the disconnect between frontline police and senior management. We don’t need to see what happened down in Melbourne happen here in Queensland.”
A spokesman for the Queensland Police Service said: “The circumstances around an incident involving the pursuit of a motor vehicle at Mermaid Waters on the February 1, 2024 are currently being investigated by the Ethical Standards Command. No further information is available at this time.”
Another senior officer from the Gold Coast said he was unable to find enough staff to fill night shifts.
“I have a critical shortage of staff at my station. They are walking out the door in droves,” the officer said.
“We’re gutted. How bad do things have to get before someone will stand up and take some accountability?”
The senior officer said he was regularly unable to find a crew to respond to priority call-outs and hadn’t been able to roster a vehicle for night shift patrols in several weeks.
“I just cannot look my staff in the eye and tell them everything will be OK anymore – we are drowning and there is no one coming to help.”
At least 1800 officers since 2021 have been stood down for refusing the dangerous Covid jab, severely affecting the operation of the organisation in spite of 196 senior officers being exempted from the vaxx.
Numerous resignations and natural attrition also added to the declining numbers of experienced officers.
The mismanagement of QPS by Queensland Labor has finally come home to roost and local recruiting drives have not resulted in any significant local numbers being added to its depleted ranks.
In a desperate move to enlist more officers Queensland Labor advertised overseas for recruits with a criteria that upset many taxpayers.
The advertisement stated that Australian citizenship was unnecessary and applicants from any country with policing experience were welcome to apply.
Katarina Carroll, the girl from Herberton made good, is the second senior Covid scalp in the justifiably maligned, corporate Labor administration. Former Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk by her own hand was the first. Story News Ltd and Cairns News
Most of the scum who are running the government and senior cops are freemasons who protect each other. Even the judiciary are freemasons and they do not get in unless they are.
These are all NWO puppets who have the plan to bring order out of chaos.
Without chaos they cannot bring ion the NWO to power.
Keep voting labour and continue enjoying the chaos, mate.
All those ‘special’ people who were magically granted exemption from the jabs need to be all detained and investigated. Maybe that’s why they have actively destroyed police numbers. That investigation would include the majority of our politicians (they passed their own exemption bill in SA), many Doctors and also a lot more we are unaware of I’m sure. It implies collusion, corruption and even some for knowledge of the dangers of mRNA. Sadly the covid train rolls on and a repeat of the mandate tyranny is still on the cards but justice is well within reach if such investigations begin. They threw our original pandemic plans out the window to enable the jabs so the collusion must have run very deep. I still cannot believe they got away with all those mass sackings and in many cases total ruination of people lives and businesses, that is not the Australian way at all. Maybe the peoples’ Royal Commission will get the ball rolling and ensure this never happens again and nail those responsible for the biggest political act of bastardry in our history. Heads must roll to allow us to mend and move on.
This seems about as good a place as any to push Commo John’s call to action…

Jump on board with Commo John or don’t, folks – but you better be doing SOMETHING if you want Australia’s trajectory to change.
Otherwise, bend over and kiss your hairy arse goodbye. But maybe kiss your children’s and grandchildren’s adorable butts goodbye first, because you may not otherwise get the chance.
To quote that living legend Andrei Martyanov – “Well, hello there, it’s me again!”
Food for thought, folks…

Does anyone see a PATTERN emerging here?
If you thought the ADF have been a bunch of traitorous anti-Australian quislings up to THIS point, clench your butt-cheeks, folks, because you ain’t seen NOTHING yet.
Ballot box, soap box, now ammo box is Trumps. Ed
Pat from Vic is wide awake.
This is political theatre we are watching and nobody in the ALP is pulling any strings. This game comes from way above those pathetic muppets, and follows standard formula: Create a crisis until the public demands something be done about it.
Things will get worse, and then foreign mercenaries will come in and pulverise the crims. The public will cheer. Then all former police officers and military personnel will become the target because they are capable of seeing through the farce and fighting back.
I bet not one of you knows what to do next.
196 senior police exempted from the jab… wonder if all the other police know that? I hope they find out.
Of course PM Miles the poncy CHO supports the Big Pineapple PC Katrina. In that featured photo op, CN should run a contest to fill in the thought bubble over his head.
In better days, the Poncy CHO could be the name of a Qld pub like the Goat and Trowel or the Prophet’s Dick. In those days, I confidently predict the more trad names like ‘Pig and Barrow’ will be rather tame. The PC is certainly an asset of the Communist Takeover of Australia if ever there was one. Miles will have the right handshake and grip or he would not be the PM, so now in these days of EXPOSURE he has to hide behind the skirt when it comes to Failed Marxist State policy of standing down on crime. Crime and especially Black Entitlement to Crime and now Diversity Entitlement to Crime is part of the sistema of crime, chaos and corruption.
Contrast these two floaters with Gold Coast Sgt Ottoway who has been suspended for policing – you know – like…. crime. Can’t have that. So now the Sgt and his whole family is being put through a standard Marxist Struggle Session for chasing down those usual ‘teens’ [whose racial profile will of course be concealed] in a stolen car . Make that armed ‘teens’ in a stolen car. What is not to like about this picture? This is the kind of policing that is needed on the GC. Sgt Ottoway is the exactly the kind of Aussie bloke we need as PC to sort out the corrupt politically correct and subverted mess that is the Qld Police.
Did the con job through covid. Another well paid Muppet selected well in advance to take over on a well paid sum funded by the gormless public. One big club.
Criminal c… should be hung for TREASON.
Aussiamal… Yes, there are a lot of unanswered questions. They arrested the Train’s friend in the US and brought him here. What has happened to him? He made a video about the Trains which is now banned and censored.. Train was about to expose paedophilia.
Interesting to see how many of these knowing scum’s properties are on the market as in the US. Moving to a Pacific nation with no extradition ??
To my mind the multiple murder scene at the Train Family farm has not been satisfactorily investigated by independent sources. Three police officers shot, two dead and the three Train Family members killed as well as a neighbour dead.
The police officers could not have been shot in the back while walking towards the Trains hold-up in their house, except by others at the property in hiding.
I wonder if the Queensland Police Union have taken ownership of that property as requested.
These overseas police have no loyalty to this country or its people, this is going to be a big problem when it does all hit the fan. Already all the Premiers have since resigned, all the health ministers have resigned – they know there is going to be hell to pay.
Maybe the police that are left will realise and side with the people.
Read an article recently re the millions of military age illegal immigrants entering US across the Mexican border. Where are they all going, what are doing?
“HIRED MERCENARIES have no loyalty to the local population”
What else do we need to know about the Great Australian Blight except when to take remedial measures?
Oh, wait! Nothing to worry about, except that we’ll be in the hands of people who couldn’t give a shit about us and are paid handsomely for it.
The Corporate System is against the people. This video WarCastles looks at – NWO apparatus – Masonlodges – Jesuits – appointed Presidents – a new look at Trump – freedom from the international order
TYPEhttps://rumbleBEFORE.com/v3vdt9w-watch-this-video-titled-war-castles-0.html
Not surprised that the good police are walking out – but to stand down one of the extremely few still there for doing his job shows that the corporation is just that! NO regard for those doing the RIGHT thing!!
More likely “Rats” deserting the sinking Ship starting March first…
Ever noticed how the people at the top are jumping ship.
Perhaps they sense an ill wind blowing their way…
Spot on Pat, and not a shot fired.
Seems to me we’re not looking at the big picture here, folks.
The author said – “The advertisement stated that Australian citizenship was unnecessary and applicants from any country with policing experience were welcome to apply.”
Any pennies dropping here?
Everything’s going swimmingly according to the CORPORATE PLAN. The HOSTILE OCCUPATION of a country by PRIVATE ARMIES is much easier to manage if the HIRED MERCENARIES have no loyalty to the local population.
The low-life mentally retarded native mercenaries have been more than willing to threaten, terrorise, assault, shoot, poison, kidnap, incarcerate, torture and MURDER their fellow Australians. Just imagine what the IMPORTED mercenaries will be capable of doing.
And just BTW, you don’t think this is all PLANNED? They’re ALREADY importing foreign mercenaries EN MASSE to impersonate NT “police”, and the remaining states will ALL be following in due course. Think LOCKSTEP, folks, because that’s the way our Globalist masters LIKE it.
The problem lies with the increasingly global corporate mandate for more diversity, equity and inclusion. In reality, DEI results in discrimination, inequality and exclusion especially for most white male officers. On the other hand, females, persons of colour and/or those of LGBBQTI++ persuasion, are preferred for promotion to senior ranks and management. Front line operational experience is not considered necessary or beneficial.
Labor will just have to bite the bullet and introduce punishment for crimes committed that will put doubt into the mind of any one contemplating doing what is not socially acceptable .
Absolutely unbelievable, one of the few honest cops left. Oh well, Katrina can retire on a fat pension and walk into some consulting job. The next person will ban arresting armed criminals but attack patriots with all the force available.
