We all have to update ECQ with our details. We can't reside in one electorate & vote for candidates in another. There's a whole Fitzgerald Inquiry about this. No defence here,Tim Mander & Amanda Camm must resign their seats. Go back to the people of Everton & Whitsunday. #qldpol
Not a word of this is true
The Press knew. They laughed.
The Tories knew. They didn’t care.
All I see now is hypocrisy.
Let me try and encapsulate Trump's recent activities:
US President deletes post portraying himself as Jesus healing the sick after attacking the Pope for being against the war he started, a war that includes the death of 160 schoolgirls and a threat that Iran's "whole civilization will die".
We’re minutes away from the first op-ed in the Oz to call the pope an antisemite
Queensland returning to the days of Joh Bjelke-Petersen like a dog to its vomit.

#RISEUP We must be what they fear. The #USA is an evil Empire of corporate interests. There is no republic, no great leader coming to our rescue. Just regional managers as far as the eye can see.
The Pope says it is not in his interest to debate Trump. He is correct. In fact, I will broaden his point to say that it is never in the interest of anyone to debate an opponent who makes up facts and focuses on stirring emotions. It only elevates that opponent in front of their receptive followers.
Iran should add an 11th condition to its peace terms, Iran will agree to not get any nuclear weapons ever, as long as Israel gets rid of all of its nuclear weapons and agrees never to attack others unless they start the war first. Israel must agree to yearly weapons inspections
Really, the only possible outcome - WTF were they thinking, and ARE thinking still 🤷♀️
(One thing from the Trump situation - we’re all learning that ‘laws’ aren’t necessarily worth the paper they’re written on & court challenges are a damn fine idea.) #auspol

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
Together with our ongoing work in Parliament and Senate estimates this is how we get the truth. Labor wants to hide their support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Israel’s invasion and murder in Lebanon. We know they use Australian made weapons and parts for this. It must end.
Qatar and Australia export roughly the same amount of LNG. The Qatari government collects more than five times the revenue Australia does, says @grogsgamut.bsky.social.
Something has gone very wrong. #AustralianPolitics #SovereignDefence #auspol #AUKUS

Trump and Netanyahu’s war with Iran immediately closed the Strait of Hormuz, they continued the war allegedly to reopen it, eventually agreeing to a ceasefire with Iran to open it, now the US plans to blockade it themselves. These are not allies. End AUKUS, sanction Israel.
Live from Pakistan : JD Vance demands that the Iranians say thank you, then Jared Kushner wants to know if he can get in on the hormuz tolls, the other guy just sits there all red faced and confused while the Iranians giggle.

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer,” she wrote. “Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.”
We can't have 80 yr old presidents,
Who can destroy the world
then just die and not be punished for or deal with the mess
The High Court has declined to help Bruce Lehrmann find his hat.
In legal terms, his appeals are now exhausted and you can still call him a rapist.
Spanish 🇪🇸 PM Pedro Sánchez has announced to suspend all the association agreement with 🇮🇱🔥
At 8:00 AM –– 🇮🇱 broke ceasefire by attacking nonstop in Lebanon
At 11:00 AM –– Pedro Sánchez 🇪🇸 has urged European Union to suspend all the ties with 🇮🇱 and punish it financially 🫡
This man is damn amazing
Just heard the PM tell the world that Trump's genocidal threats to kill a whole civilization were "inappropriate".
I guess he wouldn't want to be accused of hypocrisy, while he is providing govt funds to companies enabling Israel's #GazaGenocide, and war crimes in Iran and Lebanon. #auspol
Iran keeps its regime and nuclear program, and gains control of the Strait of Hormuz. Conventionally, from a war you didn't start, you'd call that victory.
60 YEARS AGO TODAY: The Frost Report On Class delivers one of the most famous and succinct sketches in all of British comedy history.
Tbf, Penny Wong is probably a bit concerned right now.
23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23.
20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t.
They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.
