Is this what news website INQueensland really thinks about Queenslanders?

To even ask the question posed above baffles those who compile this column.

Each and every one of them would gladly head out to the home of Molly the magpie and wring its scrawny neck, pluck it, pan fry it and and feed it to those two dogs if it would bring Molly the human back.

We suspect just about every Queenslander out there, fans of our feathered friends or not, would do the same.

Molly Ticehurst, a mum aged only 28, died this week, allegedly at the hands of an ex-boyfriend.

Why on earth would someone at INQueensland write such an illogical, offensive, standfirst for an excellent article by Madonna King on the scourge of gender violence, mostly against women, and the urgent action needed at all levels of Australian society to put a stop it.

King makes no mention whatsoever of Molly the magpie. And why should she?

Our only beef with King is that she obviously hasn’t seen how her story, penned yesterday, Friday, has been introduced online. It’s still online today with the same standfirst. Otherwise surely she would have been on the blower immediately and demanded that it be changed?

Unless King either wrote it or is happy with whoever did?

She did after all recently pen a piece getting stuck into Premier Steven Miles for sticking his beak (our word, sorry!) into the Molly the Magpie removal-and-return saga.

She was clearly pissed off that Miles would, just six months out from the state election, shamelessly insert himself into that situation for cheap political gain. King might very well have been apoplectic when Miles later headed off to Molly the magpie’s home for a cheap photo op.

Ah, the advantages of political incumbency, shamelessly misused when the wrong party is in power perhaps?
