At 6pm on Friday, after a four-day budget week in parliament heaving with news, Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie flagged overhauls of Qld’s two key industrial relations boards. Only business and LNP figures were among those joining the ranks. What wasn’t said was all six union figures were pushed off.

The Christian Brothers have billions of dollars in property and their schools have banked over $1.5 billion in public funding over the last decade - but apparently they can’t afford to compensate survivors of child sexual abuse? The lack of accountability is shocking.

More than five tonnes of antibiotics were used to treat a disease that killed 9,000 tonnes of fish last summer, Salmon Tasmania says.

“Angus Taylor has been accused of delivering a “kick in the guts” to firefighters after claiming authorities deliberately allowed the devastating 2003 Snowy Mountains bushfires to burn because they were in a wilderness area.” Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Funny how the ones who host wind turbines on their properties, and closest to them, don't get the infrasound syndrome, but those in the next paddock, not receiving compensation $ suffer terribly 🤔

POO Politics Of Outrage

Bizarre for Angus Taylor to claim Australia has "imported" ideology from the West Coast of the US, apparently of "not putting [fires] out". Famously, Californian (and other US) firefighters and Australian ones regularly cooperate to fight fires! www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The fossil fuel industry is a death cult - and they're spending millions to smuggle their propaganda into our classrooms. We need an inquiry to find out how these tax-dodging multinationals are allowed to try to brainwash our kids into believing their deadly lies.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

House prices in 2024 - "impossibly unaffordable". House prices today - slipping back to 2024 levels is now apparently a disaster.

"War is Peace" Do these guys not even hear themselves when they speak?

Angus Taylor taking completely the wrong lesson from COVID. He has swallowed the cooker line that Australians hate ‘big government’ when in reality most Australians liked being kept safe and economically secure. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is actively good and cool and should be the cause for celebration. It’s not normal for auctions to predominate as a mode of sales outside really niche sectors www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Shows how little demand there is *at the prices buyers want*. There’s a solution here

Australians lose $32 billion on legal forms of gambling each year. That’s more per capita than anywhere else on the planet, and it’s young people, aged 18 to 24, most at risk. This is also the group most aggressively targeted by gambling ads.

Anyone else sick of whingers like Hughesy who refuse to understand that CGT and negative gearing reforms are all about bringing back the fair go when it comes to home ownership? Especially for young workers who've been locked out of that opportunity for too long.

Redeemer Baptist School has pocketed $53 million in combined funding from state and federal governments over the past decade. Yet they’re not subject to the same rules and conditions as public schools. Why are we subsidising a private school that treats kids like this?

Pelicans are the psychopaths of the bird world so this checks out www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sarah Martin has been absolutely all over the grift that is One Nation www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

There’s a sociopath in the White House doing real damage and this is where they think their fight is. They see more in common with the quacks ‘across the aisle’ than with people doing good in their own party.

KPMG’s Stan Stavros says he’s sorry for not supporting whistleblower Brendan Lyon during the $20B TAHE scandal Asked how he failed, says he could’ve put his “arms around him” for a hug.🤔 Lyon needed whistleblower support, not a cuddle. These ppl are a joke. #auspol

Pauline Hanson confirms she wants to end maternity leave, claiming it forces businesses to “fold” Clearly just rubbish. And clearly One Nation want to force women to choose b/w having kids & having a job. Not a policy, a dangerous misinformation campaign. #auspol

“This is cooker stuff!” 💥 Julian Hill calls out Pauline Hanson’s far right agenda, inc. her plan to cut women off maternity leave — saying it’s nothing new. “She said ten years ago that women only have babies for the money.” 🔥 Gobsmacking. But sadly true.

Nick McKim completely unloads on Pauline Hanson’s fake patriotism & ‘Israel First’ agenda, “One Nation is Israel first, US & Donald Trump second, Pauline Hanson herself third & the rest of us dead last.” A party made up of “white collar criminals”, “sex offenders” & “Nazis”🔥🎯

💥Zali Steggall hits back at One Nation’s “dangerous” anti immigrant rhetoric & reminds that 30% of our care workforce are migrants “R u also going to tell ppl that it means shutting down aged care centres? Cutting back on services?” Why won’t media ask Hanson these questions?🙄 #auspol

Jim Chalmers brutal on Angus Taylor, saying Liberals are “dying in his arms” bcoz of his repeat attempts to outdo One Nation, which look “more & more pathetic each day”💥 Says it’s “hard to distinguish” the 3 right wing parties, who all share the same “anti worker agenda”💥

Barrie Cassidy says he was struck that post-budget, even The Australian’s conservative journalist Dennis Shanahan has now turned on Angus Taylor: “He was given a penalty shot and he missed.”💥 “Labor did not leave Angus flat footed — they left him flat on his arse.”💥 Ouch. 🤕

“Ahmed Al Ahmed. He saved my life & my 4yr old” “I can only say thank you to that Muslim brother” This is what the media should show. Messages of unity & hope from survivors. Despite that it’s not the answer this Sky News journo was seeking. #auspol #Bondi

Yes, as JD Vance indicates, what Nixon did was absolutely nothing by Trump's standards, it would be a 12-hour news story, and you'd have to be crazy to think that criminal behaviour like that these days could lead to the president resigning.

Just gonna leave this here...

Wait, what? Vaccines work? I only someone had discovered that.

Ah, Ron Vara - the true arbiter of indisputable facts.

Right now I'm in the epicentre of the heatwave, in southwest France, where the brutality of the heat has ground life to a halt. And I have to keep reminding myself: this is only the beginning.

"Political operatives are trying to intimidate me. It's not going to work". Fucking brilliant stuff by @amyremeikis.bsky.social www.deepcutnews.com/p/political-...

Paul Hogan is an essential part of Australia's monoculture, Hanson claims, particularly his enthusiasm for tax evasion.

Trump losing the war on algae perfectly sums up Trump's failed presidency! It features Trump’s vanity, corruption, cronyism, criminal convictions, incompetence, gaslighting and of course blaming others for his own failures. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-losi...

With all the hand-wringing over Hanson and her "mystery" rise, it's worth remembering Nine secretly flew her to clamber all over Uluru (with disgraced chief-of-staff Ashby). Nine then labeled it a "social division" - a "culture war" that had "divided the nation"... theklaxon.com.au/ulurustitch-...
