The Gaza plan rewards Israel and punishes the victims
Those responsible for the devastation and genocide are being rewarded with the control of Gaza. This is the obscenity at the heart of this peace plan.

Just so I’ve got this right.

The Govt’s solution to stop gambling based DV is to allow the perpetrator to opt out of gambling to stop the DV? So it assumes the perp wants to stop. What do the experts say?
I know nothing about DV but it doesn’t sound like a solution to me. 🤔

I'm really enjoying the Festival of Pococks Making Sense.
How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.

When both sides of parliament work together, they can achieve a lot but it's not necessarily better than when they disagree.

Together the left-right coalition has managed to rid the country of #science.

I remember that hopes were high in 2022 that the new Labor Government would end the decade-long decline. We are now in the second #Albanese term, and things are worse than ever.

An observation re the lights going out in parliament; I note the howling mob on the right immediately, and ironically, resorted to battery storage to keep the lights on.

This is sad but true - Albo has destroyed the LNP by replacing them in every way, but with more women & less Culture War bullshit.

Labor is doing all the same pro-war, pro-fossil-fuel, pro-climate-change crap that the LNP has always stood for, & the LNP have no idea how to cope with it.

can i say there's no real difference between the two majors now without a bunch of #auspol dipshits yelling at me?

it's extremely telling how - here and in the UK - when the more "right" of the two majors collapse, the "left" immediately mutates to take its place, almost like they share an agenda
Sadly, they cut a deal with the Libs to indeed rush this through

Since when does Queensland rail run advertising for rtd spirits on trains??

Considering how many school children use and ride those trains ( and how many school zones they pass) this seems incredibly irresponsible

If the UK (not renowned for its sunny climate) can do this then of course Australia can.
Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.

They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.

The Government is trying to push through changes that will weaken our environment laws.

This is the same Government that changed environment laws to protect the toxic salmon industry, and continues to approve fossil fuels for decades to come.

Given the opportunity to legislate truth in political advertising, Anthony declined.

The only reasonable conclusion to draw here is that he wishes to continue lying.

When I was at Kinder Miss McDougal told us lying was very bad and could well lead to a smack on the bottom.

Look out Anthony.
