    I look forward to using them.
    Queensland jets are for Queenslanders, yes?

  2. Entropy says:

    I will say, though, that seems a bit cheap. While I am not authoritative on all of them, the old king airs and Cessna citation were pretty old, and yes, I have flown in them.

    Surely not carbon-spewing hated-by-Gaia planet destroyers? Tell me I’m dreaming.

    Interesting they are all being acquired via the Police, has that traditionally been the case? Also interesting will be whether some / all of the new King Air’s will be fitted for surveillance a la the VIC Police.

    In a state the size of QLD I don’t really have an issue with the government having its own aircraft.

  7. C.L. says:

    Seven in one go, ar?
    Queensland isn’t that big.

    We do have commercial airlines, trains and reasonably decent roads.

  8. a reader says:

    Sounds like the King Airs are for Police work. NSW Police and WA Police each have 3 fixed wing aircraft in their own right, let alone the helicopters.

    Do Qld Police do aerial transport of prisoners? My understanding is that is part of the use of the NSW PolAir fixed wing fleet.

    I really don’t see why this is a drama. And I can’t stand Palasczuk

    Someone has to eat the truffles.

  10. Perfidious Albino says:

    So if our most populous and geographically largest states can each get by with 3 fixed wing aircraft apiece, why does QLD need 7? or even 5 for that matter?!

  11. a reader says:

    Queensland is more that twice the size of NSW. It’s not easy to justify road transport from Cape York to the capital. In NSW everything radiates from Sydney which is on the coast but pretty much in the middle. In QLD everything is spread far and wide with the capital in a corner

  12. Entropy says:

    It is a bloody big state, it isn’t just the premier and ministers getting about, it is also as mentioned above prisoner transport, even some ambulance flights if RFDS isn’t available. West of the divide the frequency of flights are very limited (except for mining towns) and you only have one flight a day, every second or third day.
    And given there are a couple of exec jets in the mix it seems a good price.

  13. Entropy says:

    Even a WA comparison isn’t valid. Most people in WA live in the SW. Qld is very decentralised compared with other states and territories.

    737s are a beautiful aircraft. Bigger than a gulfstream although they can’t get as close to Mach 1 as the Boeing.

    My mind drifts back to Boris Johnson lording it over Cuban Trudoo by reminding him that his conveyance is bigger.

    The nub of the criticism isn’t that the fat face needs to get from BNE to the FNQ at 0.99 Mach, it because she can spend that money and through the passage of time, no one will give a fuck

    When you think about it, the politics from North the south are worthy of a 1200 page textbook.

    Up in the north, maybe it’s the extra notches on the thermometer, but they generally just go for themselves and fuck the rest

    Down in the puckering arsehole of the world, Victoria, the leaders really go for subjugation.
