How to transmit energy from new generators across the vast distances of Qld & into the national grid? The Palaszczuk govt answer was the Copperstring project. Like the Abbott govt & NBN, you can imagine what the Crisafulli govt has now done to it. #qldpol reneweconomy.com.au/copperstring...

How very Pocockian. The only parliamentarian to have captained an elite national sports team got expelled from the parliamentary sports club for expressing principles about the sinister cavortings of the gambling industry.

Dear all Australian politicians. No. No lobby group should be finding any parliamentary social sports club. I'm not sure it needs a CEO either. David Pocock is absolutely correct and the actions that barred him from this is shameful.

It’s a sad (and chilling) day when legacy media cannot be trusted to follow even the most basic tenets of journalism. But when one of the world’s most influential and ubiquitous news sources uses a photo from the 1992 LA uprisings to characterize events in 2025 Portland, we’re at that point

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... So when I saw soldiers demolishing homes, imprisoning children, firing on protesters marching towards the border – and when I learned of the Nakba, the dispossession, massacres and theft – I could no longer cover my ears.

I just heard a zionist rep on the radio invoking the disproven zionist fabrications about Oct 9 at the Opera House and saying “nothing was done” m’am there was a lengthy and costly police investigation then the NSW Police Commissioner left her position almost two years early for no apparent reason.

Wow 👇

mRNA COVID-19 vaccines don’t cause cancer. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t understand immunology, vaccinology, or how to interpret studies. Hope this helps!

I am shocked and appalled by the arson attack on a mosque in Peacehaven, where two people were inside. No community should be terrorised for their faith or in their place of worship. At a time when Islamophobia hits record levels, we need urgent action from the top of government to confront it.

Anyone else doubt that Hamas graffiti was done by a pro-palestinian protester? Strikes me as the sort of thing someone who had faked nazi symbols on money would do.

let’s not memory hole the time a zionist group doctored and circulated a video to make false claims about activists at the opera house on 9 October 2023 and the two women who exposed the hoax have been removed from their positions at the ABC and NSW Police, one of them unlawfully.

There are almost double the number of voters per seat as there were in 1984, leaving Australians less represented than ever. Great article from @michellegrattan.bsky.social on the growing case to grow Australia's parliament: theconversation.com/grattan-on-f...

Phenomenally annoying article. Arty web presentation in which you have to scroll 200 metres to read half a dozen sentences, and get to the end realising there was no mention of nutrient runoff from farming. Nobody in Australia dares to criticise farmers. #auspol

And that's how you report it.

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.
