Police pay $500K a month for empty building · The Slippery Slope

• 0:12
  Hi, Jay Fallon, thanks for listening to these slippery
• 0:14
  slopes. So I want to address something
• 0:16
  that came up, a couple of people bought to my attention and I
• 0:19
  did, obviously, I, I had realized, but a couple of people
• 0:24
  have pointed out that I've seemed to have been shadow
• 0:26
  banned on YouTube. I, I would say it's not really a
• 0:29
  shadow anymore. It's just flat out banned.
• 0:32
  I believe, I believe this is because of the things that are
• 0:35
  brought up about QPS because I've insistently, consistently
• 0:41
  spoken out about issues regarding specifically
• 0:45
  Queensland Police Service, where I, whom I used to work for.
• 0:49
  If you don't know, I used to be a police officer with the
• 0:52
  Queensland Police Service and I was, I was within, I worked
• 0:59
  majority of that time. I worked within the seconded to
• 1:02
  the Crime and Corruption Commission as a working within
• 1:07
  the COVID Surveillance Unit conducting surveillance,
• 1:12
  physical surveillance, covert physical surveillance.
• 1:16
  There's all different types of surveillance anyway, so that was
• 1:18
  the area that I was in. So, so people have pointed out
• 1:22
  that I've been shadow banned. And I believe This is why I've
• 1:24
  been shadow banned because I've spoken out so many times about
• 1:28
  what's going on within QPS and the lack of leadership.
• 1:33
  You know, especially when the old commissioner was in the one
• 1:36
  who brought in the mandates, the rules for the mandate, in the
• 1:41
  mandate that, you know, you have to get the jab.
• 1:44
  You know, if you didn't get the jab, well, then you got booted
• 1:47
  out. Like, like what happened to me.
• 1:49
  This is what happened to me. So I didn't go along with the
• 1:53
  mandates brought in for the COVID jab, always stood down
• 1:57
  with two weeks, two weeks pay and then stood down without pay
• 2:02
  while undergoing an investigation while I was
• 2:05
  investigated as though I was a criminal.
• 2:07
  And yet other police officers who were, who did actually do
• 2:12
  who, whose behaviour was verging on criminal, they were.
• 2:17
  They were fine as long as they got the jab.
• 2:19
  And I bought up several, several instances where police officers
• 2:25
  have gotten themselves into some serious trouble, serious
• 2:29
  trouble. And yet the Queensland Police
• 2:31
  Union have gone into bat for them.
• 2:33
  They've been able to keep their jobs.
• 2:35
  However, someone like myself and there's plenty of other officers
• 2:38
  out there like me and former officers who did not go along
• 2:42
  with the mandate could see that it was wrong and yet they were
• 2:45
  thrust out of the role. So I believe this is anyway,
• 2:48
  This is why I've had the Shadow band and also I'm going to bring
• 2:52
  up this article just to refresh your memory.
• 2:54
  There's a few things we want to talk about, but just to start
• 2:56
  off before I want to get into the main article that I'm going
• 2:58
  to talk about, which just happens to be related to QBs.
• 3:02
  So this is the other reason why I believe I've got this chapter
• 3:07
  band. So just to refresh your memory,
• 3:08
  and I spoke about this at the end of last year before our last
• 3:11
  election, Police Commissioner Golszewski.
• 3:14
  Now he's he's been he has stood down at the moment because he's
• 3:19
  being treated for cancer. So goals, if you're watching all
• 3:22
  the best. I hope, I do hope, do pray that
• 3:25
  you get better. That treatment goes well.
• 3:27
  But he's been he's stood down because of cancer.
• 3:29
  He's undergoing cancer treatment.
• 3:32
  But remember this, Police Commissioner Golszewski
• 3:35
  unavailable as criticism mounts on dangerous policy.
• 3:38
  So the Commissioner refuses to respond to heavy criticism of an
• 3:42
  internal directive adding journalists incompatible with
• 3:46
  QPS values to a declarable association policy, including
• 3:51
  criminals. So, So what they go is there
• 3:54
  when you're in the police, when you're in Queensland police,
• 3:56
  I'll only speak to Queensland police because that's where I
• 3:58
  was. You have to, you have to fill
• 4:02
  out a form with your declarable associates.
• 4:07
  So they just in case, you know, you want to declare that you're
• 4:11
  actually friends with bikies or, you know, criminals, whatever.
• 4:15
  This kind of thing. It, it really doesn't work.
• 4:18
  As I've, as I have alluded to, when I was in the triple C, we
• 4:22
  investigated, there was one officer in particular.
• 4:26
  This officer was known, this officer, it was known because
• 4:32
  you could look in their history and see that they were, they
• 4:37
  were associated with a criminal organization, a known criminal
• 4:41
  organization. But due to the way QPS had
• 4:46
  decided to lower their standards because they wanted, you know,
• 4:50
  they were going down the lines of DEI and they wanted the the
• 4:55
  5050 male female ratio. So they lowered standards.
• 4:59
  And because they lowered standards across the board, they
• 5:01
  were getting, they got a plethora of people in and who
• 5:05
  are probably still in a lot of them who should not be in the
• 5:07
  job, to be quite frank anyway. So, so this is how you have to
• 5:14
  make this declarable associations thing.
• 5:16
  So they've made this and they've decided that hey, journalists,
• 5:21
  journalists, now you have to put them, you have to put
• 5:25
  journalists. So they're incompatible with QBs
• 5:28
  values. So what does that tell you?
• 5:30
  That tells me that Queensland Police Service, you know, even
• 5:33
  though they say that they want to be open, honest, transparent.
• 5:37
  This is why they report when officers supposedly get in
• 5:39
  trouble. This is why they tell us all the
• 5:42
  details, some of the details, because they're trying to be
• 5:45
  transparent. They want transparency, but they
• 5:48
  don't really want transparency. They just want transparency.
• 5:52
  They want to appear to be transparent.
• 5:54
  Like the good doctor told me, like the good doctor told me.
• 5:58
  It's all about perception, Jason.
• 6:00
  It's all about perception. Anyway, That's what he said.
• 6:05
  So goals that. So that's what he bought up.
• 6:07
  So Commission commissioner won't say if you overturn an internal
• 6:12
  directive with journalists incompatible with QBs values in
• 6:16
  a declarable association policy covering criminals and religious
• 6:19
  extremists. So I believe this is part of why
• 6:22
  I've been shadow banned because I've spoken out about it because
• 6:26
  even though I don't consider myself a journalist, I don't
• 6:28
  think I am, I don't think I would fit into that because I'm
• 6:32
  just running a podcast. OK.
• 6:35
  However, they would, for starters, they would be able to
• 6:38
  put it down, put myself down the slippery slope saying well, he,
• 6:44
  they, they would probably believe that I would fall into,
• 6:47
  if not the religious extremist, Well then we could put him
• 6:50
  slightly in the religious extremist section, even though I
• 6:54
  don't think I am at all. I'm just a Christian and they'd
• 6:59
  be able to put me well, he's slightly in their view,
• 7:03
  religious extremist and journalist.
• 7:07
  So I think This is why this is This is why I've been shadow
• 7:10
  banned and this is what I think QBs have done.
• 7:12
  And I also believe I think this has happened.
• 7:15
  My reasons for believing this has happened is because of a
• 7:17
  couple of because of some correspondence I've received as
• 7:22
  well from people put it that way.
• 7:26
  So after saying all that, I've still got to talk about today's
• 7:31
  today's article. This coming out in the Courier
• 7:34
  Mail Queensland Police Service paying 500 K 500,000.
• 7:41
  That's half $1,000,000 a month to lease an empty Stones Corner
• 7:47
  building. If you don't know where Stones
• 7:48
  Corner is, that's a suburb scenario in Brisbane.
• 7:51
  It's a little, it's a bit of a funky little area.
• 7:54
  You get some generally you get some cool coffee, some good
• 7:57
  coffee down there. This building actually, it's
• 7:59
  down the just down the road from where, Oh, what was that cafe
• 8:05
  used to go to Anyway, you get a good breakfast and that just
• 8:08
  around the corner Queensland Police is leasing an empty
• 8:10
  building for the same cost is hiring at multiple mansions or a
• 8:14
  private island. Hardaway kids about that.
• 8:17
  The 240,000,000 rental deal, $240 million rental for a Stones
• 8:22
  Corner building. How, oh how do the people in
• 8:27
  Queensland government not get put in jail for some of these
• 8:31
  deals that they do, which to me just seems it's blatantly
• 8:35
  obvious. They just, you know, they've got
• 8:38
  some little side deal side hustle going with they've gotten
• 8:41
  some payouts in the background anyway.
• 8:44
  So which was labeled one of the worst agreements ever made by a
• 8:48
  department in the state government.
• 8:50
  The Career Mail revealed the controversial 15 year deal and
• 8:55
  it's and his details last year, including that developers only
• 8:59
  paid 45,000,000 for the building.
• 9:02
  So the rental deal is 240 million, but the building itself
• 9:05
  was only was only paid for for 45,000,000.
• 9:10
  How does that work? There was an option for an 8
• 9:13
  year extension in the deal worth up to 240 million, which has
• 9:16
  been labeled as one of the worst lease agreements.
• 9:19
  The Courier Mail has been told the services paying about
• 9:23
  500,000 a month to lease the building.
• 9:26
  It has been for months while it awaits the findings of a Crime
• 9:31
  and Corruption Commission investigation into the deal.
• 9:34
  And like I said, I worked, I was seconded to the crime Corruption
• 9:39
  Commission for years. They're they're investigating
• 9:43
  it. It's costing the government,
• 9:44
  it's costing you and I 500,000 a month.
• 9:48
  The Crime and Corruption Commission are not known for
• 9:50
  their for being able to investigate things in a speedy
• 9:54
  fashion. They are the very definition of
• 9:58
  turtle speed. They it's shocking how slow they
• 10:01
  will go. The Queensland Police Service
• 10:04
  did not respond. You know, because they open and
• 10:07
  transparent except for when you point out or you ask questions
• 10:10
  about how they're wasting money, taxpayer money, 500 grand a
• 10:14
  month. Sorry, we can't tell you about
• 10:16
  that. The Queensland Police Service
• 10:17
  did not respond to direct questions sent by The Courier
• 10:20
  Mail on Tuesday about the current situation of the leasing
• 10:23
  cost, saying only that it was inappropriate to Conk.
• 10:32
  How is it inappropriate? It's inappropriate now, OK, to
• 10:37
  comment. We can't possibly comment.
• 10:41
  My goodness, it goes on. Just comparing it to, you know,
• 10:44
  other other things that you can purchase for that same price
• 10:50
  anyway. The police service has declined
• 10:52
  to list specific elements of the lease agreement other than
• 10:56
  saying it is meeting its contractual obligations.
• 11:00
  Commissioner Steve Golszewski ordered an audit of the deal in
• 11:04
  August. Because I believe the deal came
• 11:06
  out while Katarina Carroll, she oversaw it.
• 11:10
  She was overseeing the Queensland Police Service.
• 11:12
  You know, she stood down in, you know, under mysterious
• 11:16
  circumstances because she was just, she was not a good leader,
• 11:21
  let's put it that way. Anyway.
• 11:24
  So Gulshewski, he's ordered an audit into it.
• 11:27
  It's still ongoing. Only 500 grand a month.
• 11:31
  It's nothing. So dealing with quarter Mensa
• 11:36
  tasked to investigate after Gulshewski said he had concerns
• 11:40
  about the cost and governance concerns.
• 11:43
  Well, I wonder if, I wonder if Katarina Carroll's going to get
• 11:47
  dragged in before the courts to answer a few questions before
• 11:51
  before Parliament to answer a few questions.
• 11:54
  Wouldn't it be funny? Wouldn't it be funny if, you
• 11:57
  know, after all the mandate rubbish she put everyone through
• 12:01
  if she ended up going to jail? In November, Goshewski referred
• 12:10
  the deal to the Triple C for transparency purposes.
• 12:14
  Transparency purposes, they can't answer any questions.
• 12:17
  But for transparency purposes and because he was required to
• 12:20
  report anything where there was a reasonable suspicion of
• 12:23
  misconduct or other corrupt activity.
• 12:25
  So was it for transparency purposes or because he's
• 12:28
  required to? The career male asked Queensland
• 12:31
  Police Service on Tuesday a range of questions including
• 12:34
  about the currently situation and cost, any negotiations with
• 12:38
  the building owners, the progress of the building fit
• 12:41
  out, when police would move in and the Triple C investigation,
• 12:44
  a spokesman said. The spokesman did not answer any
• 12:50
  of the questions, only saying it would be inappropriate to
• 12:53
  provide further comment due to the Triple C investigation.
• 12:58
  What an excuse to the Triple C investigation because we are
• 13:03
  open, honest, transparent, and it's not our money.
• 13:08
  So really, who gives a damn? Because it's it's it's public
• 13:11
  money, public money. So is anyone actually going to
• 13:15
  answer for this? Is someone going to go to jail?
• 13:19
  They're not open. They're not transparent.
• 13:21
  They are liars, liars. They are more focused on shadow
• 13:27
  shadow banning me from saying things about them on YouTube and
• 13:33
  Spotify. Heaven forbid someone point out
• 13:36
  that they, you know, they couldn't investigate a they
• 13:40
  couldn't investigate a Chuck raffle.
• 13:44
  But hey, open and transparent. Open and transparent.
• 13:49
  Yeah, sure you are. Look, I do not believe them for
• 13:55
  a second when they say that they are open, when they say they are
• 13:58
  transparent, when they say I believe that the government, the
• 14:02
  previous government was as corrupt as you could possibly
• 14:06
  get. They were as corrupt as as just,
• 14:10
  you know, all the other Labour governments within Australia.
• 14:12
  But let's not, you know, it's not just Labour.
• 14:17
  The Liberals I don't think are any better when it comes to this
• 14:20
  kind of thing, but the Queensland Police Service, it
• 14:26
  needs a thorough clean out. Whoever made this deal, how, how
• 14:33
  hard is it to investigate? You go back, you look at who
• 14:36
  signed the contracts, who made the agreements with all that,
• 14:39
  with the the building owners who was investigating whether they
• 14:43
  should move in or not and you start questioning them.
• 14:47
  You stand everyone down. Hey, we're going to give you
• 14:50
  what we gave all the people with the mandates, 2 weeks pay.
• 14:53
  Then you get stood down without without pay while we continue to
• 14:57
  investigate this alleged illegal activity where you're costing
• 15:01
  the taxpayer $1,000,000 every two months, nearly $1,000,000
• 15:05
  every two months. We're going to investigate that
• 15:07
  and you get stood down without pay.
• 15:09
  Oh, and by the way, like what happens with the police because
• 15:12
  you work for the government? Well, you can't go and get
• 15:15
  another job while we're investigating.
• 15:17
  You can't go and get another job while you're still employed,
• 15:22
  while you're still attached with the government.
• 15:27
  I don't it shouldn't be taking this long, but it's, it's
• 15:30
  costing the government money, it's costing the people money.
• 15:35
  It's not costing any of these people.
• 15:37
  It's not costing the triple C money.
• 15:39
  That's why this investigation is still rolling on months.
• 15:44
  If they organize this investigation, ordered the
• 15:47
  investigation, what was it, August last year?
• 15:50
  It's not costing this triple C any money.
• 15:53
  They're just investigating. They should have had it done
• 15:55
  within about a month. Head should have rolled.
• 15:58
  People should be standing before the courts.
• 15:59
  This is all my opinion. You're probably not going to see
• 16:03
  this because I'm, like I said, shadow band.
• 16:05
  But whatever, I'll continue to speak out.
• 16:07
  Anyway, my name is Jay Fallon, former police officer with the
• 16:11
  Queensland Police Service, who it looks like extremely corrupt
• 16:15
  along with the Crime and Corruption Commission.
• 16:18
  Apparently you can't investigate this in a timely manner.
• 16:24
  Anyway, that's all my opinion. That's all it is just my
• 16:27
  opinion. Go and check out my music, Jay
• 16:30
  Fallon on Apple, Spotify, all the good stuff, YouTube.
• 16:35
  Thanks for listening to the Slippery Slope.
• 16:39
  If you'll decide
