Couriermail --> Young Liberal at centre of drag queen row found dead

THE president of the UQ Liberal National Club, Wilson Gavin, has died aged 21, just hours after he was involved in a controversial protest at a Drag Queen Story Time event.

Mr Gavin was one of a group of young protesters who stormed the event, confronting a drag queen who was reading story books to children.

It is understood Mr Gavin died at Chelmer this morning and his death is not being treated as suspicious.

The group of 15 to 20 Liberal National Club members went to the library last night chanting "drag queens are not for kids" and ignored requests from security to leave the venue.

Witnesses said the commotion upset children and their families who had been listening to Drag Queen performer "Diamond" read.

The incident was widely publicised and even drew the ire of Veronicas star Jessica Origliasso.

"Our world – and especially Australia – is in need of love & healing, now more than ever," she wrote.

"What they did today was unnecessarily add to the bigotry, division and trauma young children are left to face in today's society."

Writer Satyajeet Marar paid tribute to Mr Gavin, describing him as an "intelligent, witty, articulate and outspoken young man with a good heart".

"I'm extremely saddened to hear of his passing this morning.  ...

Queensland Rail Citytrain service disruptions due to train faults on the increase ...

Greetings,

At RAIL Back On Track we monitor the reported service disruptions on the Citytrain network ( https://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?topic=1862.0 ).  Lately the number of service cancellations, alterations and/or delays reported due to ' train faults ' seems to be on the increase.  When there is limited service frequency, service cancellations due to train faults is a significant  problem for the passengers.

For example last evening (18th January 2020) the Sunshine Coast services and a Gold Coast service were again disrupted:

As reported by TransLink on https://twitter.com/TransLinkSEQ  -

The 7.07pm Nambour line train has been cancelled due to a train fault at Palmwoods station. Alternative transport has been arranged to transport customers.

====

The 9.08pm Nambour to Central station train has been cancelled due to a train fault. Alternative transport has been arranged to transport customers between Nambour and Central station.

====

The 8.10pm Varsity Lakes to Roma street station train has been cancelled due to a train fault. The next Varsity Lakes to Roma street station train will depart Varsity Lakes station, platform 2 at 8.40pm.

====

The 8.53pm Gympie North to Roma Street train has been cancelled from Nambour to Roma Street due to a train fault. Alternative transport has been arranged for passengers travelling from Nambour to Roma Street.

We hope that something is being done to try to improve the reliability of the Citytrain fleet.  It is difficult for the public to have confidence in the network with these constant disruptions.  It is more than an inconvenience, it can mean missed appointments, missed flights, loss of pay due to lateness, extra child care fees and disrupted social commitments. In some cases follow on connections are not made adding many hours to journey times. Unlike a number of other jurisdictions, no compensation is offered to Citytrain passengers for the delays here in Queensland except under some circumstances for Airtrain (  https://www.airtrain.com.au/travel-info/service-information/airtrain-guarantee/ ).

Best wishes,

Robert Dow
