"The LNP were effectively giving Queensland's coal to Adani for free."

After the LNP abandoned a court case against Adani over unpaid coal royalties, it looks pretty dodgy that the data shows they received over half a million dollars in donations from Adani.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Melanie D’Arrigo (@Darrigo) stating that undocumented immigrants can’t vote and that voter fraud is extremely rare, arguing Trump and Republicans are using a nonexistent problem as an excuse to manipulate future elections. Below is an embedded Aaron Rupar post quoting an NBC question about whether Trump is suggesting the federal government count votes, and a response from Leavitt saying Republicans and Democrats should pass the SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID and proof of citizenship. At the bottom is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing with reporters visible nearby.

Trump posts, then deletes, video depicting Obamas as monkeys The video also included several debunked conspiracy theories linked to the 2020 US election, which the president has falsely claimed was stolen from him.

Regular reminder that Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is campaigning to host Donald Trump in Australia.

ABC Aus, the Obamas were depicted as apes not monkeys. The excuse from Karoline Leavitt is "The Lion King (1994)". There are no apes in the movie. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
