Redland City Mayor Karen Williams has said she will not resign after she admitted to crashing her car after "several glasses of wine" on Thursday night.
Ms Williams has recently played a prominent role in calls for tougher youth justice laws in Queensland. The then-17-year-old was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he struck Mr Field and Ms Leadbetter with a speeding, stolen four-wheel-drive in Alexandra Hills. Ms Williams has been a vocal part of the campaign launched by the Leadbetter and Field families, along with State Opposition Leader David Crisafulli.
Why is it her choice? Kick her out ffs
Somehow they are always protected and themselves thinking there a gift to the community! She shouldn’t have any choice in it.. she must be fired!
They give Ipswich and Logan a hard time, but Andrew Laming and now Karen Williams show its no different wherever you are.
Pathetic worm cant give up her gravy train.
You're done sister.
A picture of absolute hypocrisy right there. It’s no mistake.
Sorry she got caught
Got to go. 😡😡😡
Surely her position is untenable.
Live up to your own standards and resign today.
She has to go. Redlands deserve a Mayor that doesn’t campaign on DUI Offences then goes out and commitments DUI
Typical LNP hypocrite. I wonder if she had a chat with DUITim before making this statement?
Standards? Make mine a double 🍷🍷
Strike 3….You’re all out
She should have no choice she should be sacked anyone else would
Deeply sorry for being caught you mean? Hit a tree? She was breathalyzed after the incident right. DUI. Then ordered to go before a magistrate to be fined, disqualified and given a police record for life like the rest of us. Redlands Mayor? I don't think sooo.
She isn’t going to win any fans with that lofty attitude, saying “everyone makes mistakes”. Yeah, bank robbers and murderers just made mistakes, so let them go free too?
Shows a total lack of responsibility (DUI).
Is she any relation to Nancy Pelosi? About the same vintage.
Disgusting
Hypocrite. 'Ms Williams has recently played a prominent role in calls for tougher youth justice laws in QLD. .was the principal petitioner for an online petition urging a longer sentence for an 18-year-old man convicted of manslaughter over deaths under drug/alcohol influence'
So sick of the corruption and lack of accountability in Australia!
Corrupt councils, would she be saying the same had she injured/killed someone? Of course she would.
Karen indeed.
If it’s standards you’re looking for forget it. Australia 2022.
How brave and heroic of her to not own it
I thought having a criminal record ruled them ineligible to hold a Mayor position.
Must be taking the TimSmithMP approach
A drink driving crash!? I've always classed this as 'attempted murder' should be forced to step (stagger) down!! 😠
It is not as if this woman does not know the law about drink driving. We expect higher standards from our elected officials. The honorable resign and those without honor try to hang on to power. 'Deeply sorry' just doesn't cut it.
must resign..
All official's that have been proven to be involved in dishonest, fraudulent break the law or lies to the public in the past and future should be removed, That should send out the message that the people are tired of the Australian governments corruption
I'd forget too if I was hit by the ugly stick that many times.. Let's think of the victims here.
Good enough for me not to drink and drive it should be good enough for you as a community leader. You failed the standard of the average person lost the respect of the community, time to leave the office of mayor to respect the integrity of the position.
based
She needs to resign. A ‘leader’ needs to lead by example. If she was not aware she of her BAC that’s not an excuse either…one can purchase one’s own breathalyser these days.
She could have killed someone
'Veered'? She hit the curb at 90°
The arrogance 🤦♀️
Why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly
CrKarenWilliams resign
It was just a bump...
Meanwhile, what the attraction to sexualising children for ABC/Lefties ? sad
They usually are when they get caught. Resign or be sacked.
Its not a mistake, she broke the law.
Oh of course, lead by example, wonder if she drinks at council meetings....
