Fluoride in Qld drinking water became a political weapon. Premier Anna Bligh set a target of getting the state to 90% coverage by 2012. Then came Campbell Newman who passed the issue to each council to decide. Gympie is the latest to remove it. #qldpol

Experts alarmed as Qld council votes to remove fluoride from water supply

Gympie scraps fluoride from its water supply and becomes the third region in Queensland to reject the practice in just over a year.

Gentle reminder that Labor’s targets are bullshit because their emissions reduction policies are bullshit - real emissions aren’t falling at all, they’re flat, but the govt employs land-use accounting tricks and dodgy offsets to sell their lies

Israel is starving Palestinians in Gaza, it is starving Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. Israel is now so entrenched in its dehumanizing treatment of Palestinians it is losing all limits. Sanction Israel.

Excellent from the @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social

Last Sunday, white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups held so-called “March for Australia” rallies. Unlike other pro-Israel Jewish groups and the antisemitism envoy, the Jewish Council has always opposed the far-right as a key driver of antisemitism. We stand in solidarity with First Nations peoples, Palestinians, and all communities targeted by the far right. We reject the hypocrisy of the conservative media that promoted these racist rallies while claiming to care about antisemitism. We continue to stand with those marching for Palestine and against all forms of racism, knowing that none of us are free until all of us are free.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our campaign against the sham Mayor’s Summit Against Antisemitism on the Gold Coast this week. Your emails have put councillors across the country on notice that they will face a backlash for participating in far-right pro-Israel events masquerading as attempts to tackle antisemitism. We spoke to the ABC and Deepcut here and here about our campaign.

You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *’migrants *
www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

In the former official’s opinion, it was more likely that the vessel was carrying migrants on a human smuggling run. It would be impossible to know for sure, however, given that any evidence of drug smuggling was destroyed in the attack.

So turns out it's not a $400m deal Australia has done with Nauru - it's a $2.5 billion over the next 30 years 🤯

Big revelation at snap senate inquiry hearing asking the Dept of Home Affairs about the Govt’s agreement with Nauru to send asylum seekers there.

BREAD NOT BULLETS 💔
Gaza is starving.
Words won't feed them - ACTIONS will.
Sanction Israel.
Expel the ambassador.
End the two way arms trade.
#FromTheRiverToTheSea

Illustration titled Bread Not Bullets by Nordacious. In a stylised, lino-cut folk-art style, a starving child kneels on barren, burnt-orange earth, reaching upward toward a loaf of bread tied to a string, hanging from above like bait. A skeletal lamb lies beside him. Behind them, a long line of faceless, emaciated figures stretches into the distance. In the foreground, partially hidden behind olive leaves, a gun with a Star of David is pointed toward the child. Above, the words “bread, not bullets” are written in cursive across a pale green sky.

The Australian Government joining a letter with other countries to call for an immediate end to the war in Gaza and for Israel to lift aid restrictions is positive, but comes without action and almost two years too late.

So much for that “two-week” window.

Note the “now is the time for peace” phrasing as he pursues an avoidable course of military strikes.
