Instead of implementing its 31 recommendations, Murphy Review, Labor and the Coalition have passed a package that leaves gambling advertising embedded in sport and across our media. The legislation that passed doesn’t implement a single recommendation in full. 😡

Why are all these convicted criminals appealing sentences on the grounds prison is difficult? I mean, did they think they were going to a health retreat? The prison is meant to be punishment. It’s not a naughty corner. 🤦🏻‍♀️ FFS!

Having NDIS is becoming a privilege not a necessity. State governments have never been able to provide enough funding towards disability services. It has time constraints and is restricted to basic services. #ndis

I was a big fan of Fazels work. It is such a shame his work is under investigation for its adequacy. ABC have had to remove his siting that it was unable to validate it. Some of the actors in the footage may of been himself or a friend. Such a shame. apple.news/AmcdWddukQvy...

A homeless service with OZCARE shut down for over 9mths. St Vinnie’s has taken over. It used to sleep 200 men. Had a detox and large kitchen for anyone homeless to eat there. A free medical care unit and laundry. After the renovations it will sleep 115 people. No services apart from counselling.

Meta glasses are being used by people to record in particular, women and children unknowingly. Violating people’s rights to privacy. But here’s the thing- Meta want to add a function where they can use face recognition to make it easier to identify people’s place of work etc.

Interesting seeing the National Party who went hard on the NO vote for First Nation’s people voice to parliament, now want to talk about First Nation’s people issues from a white persons perspective. Colonialist politics is still alive and well in Australia. 😏

Property managers I was talking to today said everyone is in constant rent arrears. Tell me, if you want high rents, way more than people can afford, then expect tenants in crisis’s!

The LNP being the quintessential Aussie right, are all over the bloody place! I don’t want any seats going to the divisive stupid one national because the LNP don’t appeal to their voters.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are going to come out and testify what they know about Epstein. We all know Bill always tells the truth about his ‘relations’ with women. 😏😏 What about children would make him more trustworthy?

You know when the world has gone to shit when Oprah is a frequent flyer to Epstein island! Wtf visits his place and thinks the decorations on his walls are kitch? His place says pedo creep all over it!

Remember this case? China has sent a new task force to investigate the man who threw hot coffee on a little baby here in Brisbane. The baby has severe burns all over his body. I hope China deals with him. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...
