Dan - if that’s who you are. Cheers to Moreton Island. Hope they’re biting. But Chris made no claims about Merri in the above, regardless of whether you type in caps or not.

I missed the program but watched the one with Belinda Neal. It’s hard for anyone to see a politician in a good light these days which says a lot about their general reputation. Maybe Australian Story is trying to raise their profile or get us to see their human. Neal certainly seemed that - full of frailties and bad manners. This one sounds the same. Good luck.

I am Merri Rose’s partner and therefore privvy to her current and past life.
Chris - you have made shocking claims about Merri - DID YOU EVER MAKE A WORKCOVER CLAIM AGAINST HER????
Chris - you also worked for Judy Spence - DID YOU EVER MAKE A CLAIM AGAINST HER????
WHAT IS THE REAL TRUTH CHRIS JOHNSON???????????

Well said - obviously an old story but not too late to ask why this saga has never been given fuller scrutiny. It has the hallmarks of bringing down a state labor government with federal ramifications - and that’s possibly why privacy commissioners and parliaments sit on virtual criminal activity in government. Doesn’t Queensland cope well despite or in spite of - its dysfunctional political representatives.

It certainly was a Sea of Troubles with the stars looking more like the cast out of a bad movie. The Al Capone character with braces, a moustachioed would-be Robert Redford and a couple of ‘B’ grade star-crossed lovers cavorting on the sands of a deserted island. All that was missing was a sinking ship, a dozen or more deck-chairs and the tip of an iceberg.

The show seemed to waste time on filming beach barbecues and fish trawling. If there were limits to what she could then why not include comments from ex-MPs on how often Rose and Beattie were seen in each others company and if they were a curiosity. Just an odd way to put the story together I agree.
