He shut the government down for a month to hide files establishing the extent of his fraternization with the most infamous serial child rapist of the last century, and now he is threatening to invade Nigeria to protect members of a religion he pretends to practice but has never actually belonged to

Coal seam gas has turned tens of thousands of square kilometres of QLD into industrial gas fields.

For what?….export by foreign owned gas corporates who don’t even pay tax in Australia.

Even the big iron ore miner, Fortecue, says its time to rein in Australia’s $10 billion per year expenditure on diesel fuel subsidies…imagine all the housing, renewables and cheap education we could have if we took #climate or tax policy seriously.

The ACTU is calling for a 25% tax on all gas exports and for the tens of billions it would raise to be invested in public housing…sounds good to me…what do you reckon we should spend all the money we’d get if we stopped giving our gas away for free? #climate

BREAKING: Wind power just supplied 150% of South Australia’s electricity demand. Fossil fuels? A heroic 1.5%. Thoughts and prayers to everyone who said “renewables will never keep the lights on.” Must be hard watching your entire argument get blown away.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Keep this one in mind. Qld's hospital projects & expansions were suspended by the Crisafulli govt in April. As we get closer to the 2028 election they will all be magically (re)announced. Crisafulli was alluding to it on ABC Radio this morning. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

"Tree hugging greenies"

What a horrifying thought, that there are people who don't want trees cut down, and forests destroyed.

Can't have that can we? That's not putting money in our pockets, is it?
