The man David Gibson is an active Mormon in Australia who converted about 23 years ago.He was an army officer and editor of a local town newspaper.

He became a member of the Australian state paliament in Queensland.He was recently promoted to become the state minister for police who directs the police commisioner.
I thought,oh no!.We have got a Mormon in a senior position in political circles which is unusual in this country compared to the USA.

He has apparently been exposed for driving on a suspended drving license .I do know from experience that mormons anywhere can be rude and erratic drivers in traffic.
