Pauline Hanson<\/a> has endorsed a kidnapper as her One Nation candidate for the newly created Queensland seat of Macalister in Brisbane’s south. Mark\u00a0Ellis, a former Queensland police officer, runs Gatecrash Security<\/a>\u00a0which provides services such as party and function security, corporate security, VIP bodyguards, private investigation, tour management and artist protection.<\/p>\n In the winter of 1994, Mr Ellis was involved with five other officers in an incident which became known as the “Pinkenba Six” case. In the early hours of May 10, three indigenous boys were picked up in Fortitude Valley by Ellis and his colleagues and taken to bushland in Pinkenba<\/a>, fourteen kilometres away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On Friday Mr Ellis confirmed to\u00a09 News Queensland’s<\/em> Rob Morrison<\/a>\u00a0that he was involved but the twenty-three year old incident\u00a0shouldn’t now be an issue.<\/p>\n “I did it, I own it, I take full responsibility for it. I wouldn’t do it again. I’ve learnt a lot from it but the circumstances at that time were very different to today,” he said.<\/p>\n
