Joined hundreds celebrating the life of former MP for Gregory, Vaughan Johnson. Vaughan was a #champion for all Queensland Police and his community. Vaughan’s family recalled his passion & respect for those in blue. Your honesty & compassion should be a beacon to all. RIP Mate 🍺

QPS & others abjectly failed Officers. They & their apologists should hang heads in shame. They've a greater self interest than others wellbeing let alone being able to spell WH&S. Heart goes out to Dave’s wife Sharon & son Jack. RIP Dave. #NeverForgotten Queensland Police Queensland Police

Sad irony Queensland Police would have spent more $$$$ on legal & energy having original Charge dismissed than on original safety issues & <6 months later S/Const Dave Masters was killed. Subsequent #WHSQ Charge saw QPS fined $400K+. #shame Queensland Police Mark Ryan MP Qld Police Commissioner Dan Purdie MP
