Jess Wilson repeatedly dodges questions on whether One Nation Vic leader Warren Pickering’s status as a conspiracy theorist is ‘alarming’, until finally admitting she finds it “very normal” 🙄 What’s ‘alarming’ is the prospect of a Wilson-Pickering government running Victoria.
Australia Institute research showed in 2023 that 69% of the inflation above the RBA's target after COVID was due to excess corporate profits. But the Reserve Bank continues to ignore profits driving inflation. #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social
Sarah Hanson-Young savages Sportsbet GM Jules Norton Selzer after he refuses to answer whether they've ever returned money to victims after it’s found to have been stolen. SHY “I have to take that as a No”💥 Is it because they thrive on criminal money? Shocking.

Fuck all the way off with this. Howard has never liked multiculturalism. Not because it denotes ‘different tribes’ but because he can’t imagine anyone but someone who looks and thinks like him as ‘Australian’.

Earth is now warming faster than at any point in recorded geological history - around 10 times faster than the extreme warming event 56 million years ago and 20 times faster than at the end of the last ice age. We are almost certainly in a new extinction event.
These games are going to bankrupt the state. Think 30+Bil price tag is more likely. All to inflate the egos of our political class. Our grandchildren will still be trying to pay this crap off in 2100. #QldPol

If a private project requires public acquisition powers to ensure the viability and private profitability of that project then maybe, just maybe it doesn’t deserve our support. The ‘100’s of jobs’ justification is ALWAYS BS spin… no 1 can ever pinpoint the evidence to support those claims #QldPol

David Crisafulli went into the 2024 Queensland election with no discernible policy on the child safety. 2 years into government & it's worse than ever. They've set their timeframe targets for the inquiry recommendations to beyond the 2028 election. #qldpol
Minister Amanda Camm's total budget allocation for her child safety department is $2.88 billion. That's a shortfall of $350 million on the previous budget. She says her model of care will be cheaper per child. (I think we might be able to guess where this is headed). #qldpol
