The criminalisation of abortion is rising again in Australia through ONP. Most likely to feature again at the Qld state election 2028. Currently gagged in the Qld parliament but current LNP & KAP MPs are still pushing for it. Add ONP to the mix. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

DOJ playing the shell game

"If data centres were a country, they would be the second-largest destination for gas turbines ordered from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026" New IEA report confirms this isn't a normal industry. It is a fossil-fuelled, high-polluting heavy industry producing socially corrosive products at massive climate cost.

About 400 years ago, beavers were hunted to extinction across Britain. Now they're being reintroduced as little climate warriors, as communities harness their dam-building skills to mitigate flooding.

Wealth. That’s the pivot point the fulcrum of change. Everything else is a distraction. It’s all about getting us to fight against each other rather than concentrating on billionaires. Get the wealth the rest will follow.

@senatorwong.bsky.social so how much will social cohesion cost Australians. 5 women killed this week and 3 kids.yet no royal commission Is Australia allowing combat IDF Australians to come back with no consequences. It sucks double standard also tax gas exports 25%. And stop quoting the gas corps

This is an important story. Of course Japan cares as the only nation to deal with the aftermath of nuclear bombs BUT IT REALLY FUCKING MATTERS to all of us.

@senatorwong.bsky.social can you call out war crimes yet or is it still against “social cohesion”. What I still can’t understand is how calling out arocities against any population is hard. It’s against Geneva conventions it’s against any ceasefire it’s against any semblance of humanity.

They are OUR resources. If we tax them, we get billions back without risking a single cent of public money. Under Hanson’s plan, gas profits tax is axed, the 25% tax is blocked, and we pay drilling bills upfront all to get a smaller 30% cut.🤦‍♂️ It’s a rip-off.

"With Trump advertising his willingness to make 'deals' w/ China that pose grave risks to the US, the question once again arises whether he is a fool, traitor, or both. But at end of the day the answer may not really matter, since either way, Trump is a menace to the country he was elected to lead."

I am hearing "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry in my mind.

The WA premier campaigned hard against a 25% tax on gas exports. You'd think he'd look at his state's own Budget Papers and see how little gas royalties the WA govt gets and how fast it is dropping thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...
