Paedophile Isle: the worst place in Queensland other than the Gold Coast

22 July 2008 | Joe Stellaand Jebediah Cole

Fairfax reports that Logan City Council’s Darren Power has called for the state’s released paedophiles to be sent to a remote island.


Paedophile Isle will be the most inhuman, depraved, barren, soulless place in all of Queensland: apart from the Gold Coast.

The nightmarish island would resemble the setting to William Golding’s 1954 novel, Lord of the Flies. Obviously without all the young boys.

Civil libertarians have condemned the proposal, saying that the idea of sending criminals to a faraway island is not what Australia is all about.

Meanwhile, Queensland authorities aren’t sure what to do about released paedophile Dennis Ferguson. Residents of Carbrook, south of Brisbane, had panicked a week into their anti-Ferguson protest after the local Bunnings ran out of pitchforks.
