BRISBANE: Queensland’s health authorities have extended for four days the institutionalised detention of jurist Walter Sofronoff to give experts time to fully examine and assess his mental condition.
Sofronoff (above), a former President of the Queensland Court of Appeal who recently conducted the ACT Board of Inquiry into aspects of the Bruce Lehrmann rape trial, was detained earlier this week and taken to a secure mental institution near the Queensland capital
The unmarked van and the men in white uniforms clutching hypodermic needles and straitjacket swooped on Sofronoff’s Brisbane home after he publicly stated that he thought News Corp journalist Janet Albrechtsen was a fine, upstanding and thoroughly professional journalist.

Voice’s ‘shock hidden agenda’
BRISBANE: Revelations that the Uluru Statement from the Heart was in fact hundreds of pages long were reason enough for The Voice referendum to be voted down later this year, Aunty Pauline, the leader of the white indigenous One Nations people, has warned here.
Aunty Pauline (pictured left) said she had been told that the 2017 statement “has more pages to it than the script for Toy Story’s (sic) latest sequel, War and Peace“.
“While there’s not a racist bone in my entire body, I’m told those hundreds of pages include angry demands from dar… from coo.. from our First Nations people that will virtually make my One Nations mob and other white indigenous tribes their slaves if The Voice succeeds.
“I’ve heard of some of the things black indigenous Australians are demanding as rites (sic) if The Voice gets up and, goodness me, they turned my burka white!
“While there’s not a racist bone in my entire body, make no mistake: the dar… the coo.. the First Nations people are going to take over and that’s a fact,” Aunty Pauline said in that wavering, uncertain voice, every sentence uttered a mixture of mangled words and fractured syntax that makes her appear the little Aussie battler punching way above her weight, the image so loved and admired by her supporters, who haven’t got a single racist bone in their entire bodies.
