Good words Denise. And thank you for True North this year. It has been a big help to me to read and hear the views of sensible independent news; not the biased views of Murdoch et al. Also to hear critique of govt spin, Eg Minns idiotic ban on protests. He is so in the grip of the loudest and latest
That so many Austs are divided in their views on so many issues is a huge challenge
It’s time to think about your values, what media you consume, who you listen to to form your views - & continually self reflect
Overall - have empathy, kindness & compassion for others #auspol

The City of Moreton Bay Division 11 by-election is tracking behind the already low turn out of other recent by-elections across Queensland with just 31% of votes received back by the end of the 1st week. Avoid the $161 fine and return your ballot before 27th September!

Voices arguing that climate action is a waste of time are getting louder. Here’s why they are wrong.

Optimism may be hard to come by, but the evidence shows some progress on emissions is not just possible – it’s happening before our eyes

This is an incredible graph from @grogsgamut.bsky.social that shows how cooked our tax system is.
The Federal Govt gives over $33 bn in tax concessions to the richest 10% through CGTD + super.
That's more than 2x the total spend on all govt schools.
It's 2x the cost of putting dental in Medicare.
