Just a quick reminder to all who have either followed me or intend to and that I haven't followed back. If you don't have either a profile or at least a few posts to provide some indication of your interests, I'll just put a follow back on hold until I see something.

It seems that the reason this has been raised is because the administration wants to start a war either internal or external to use an excuse to cancel future elections.

Sucking up to an environmentally toxic LNP government that today plunged a stake through the heart of coral reefs, tropical rainforests and a future livable human environment all to pander to big multinational businesses that pay next to no tax.

I agree with Dr Denniss.

Good to see you are back and had a safe adventure. More should see and learn about their own country.

We should never forget, that in the face of these daily atrocities and so much more, our government did nothing to sanctions Israel and its genocide of Palestinians.

Nothing.

Contemptible.

They shamed us all through their inaction.

Good morning Dave.

Labor is simply not serious on stopping growth in climate emissions or anything else regarding environmental protection. They seem to think BAU is OK.

So he can fly with other planes in the sky with no air traffic control? Thought that might have been a risk.

Total not Tol. Phat phingers on phone.

Whilst Israel pulled the trigger, USA supplied the bullets and are equally complicit in the genocide.

Someone needs to ensure that this affects your supreme leader.

Tol lack of responsibility towards future generations, no different to the previous LNP government.

Whilst abhorant, surely this is a State issue. The Commonwealth does not control or issue driving or instructor licences and assault in any form comes under State legislation.

I reckon he will have a huge dummy spit and two year old tantrum if Greta gets it. She probably deserves it so 🤞🤞.
