Prepare for the privatisation by the Crisafulli LNP Govt of Queensland's energy generation sector. 🤔 #auspol #qldpol
David Janetzki, the QLD LNP’s treasurer - is a real little Hitleresque jackbooter Janetzki & Bleijie are the mining industry donor sycophants calling the shots in QLD LNP govt. Right now they’re drunk on power & their access to the treasury trough Prepare for the privatisation of QLD energy sector
A reminder of the extremely poor quality media we have to endure in Queensland. 🙄😐 Here's Murdoch's pro-LNP "Courier Mail" from late April this year telling Queenslanders that Dutton would easily win the state in the May federal election. He didn't! He lost seats, including his own! #auspol #qldpol
A flashback to 2025 election campaign & the QLD Courier Fail’s on-point election analysis 🙄😵💫 Honestly, the media shyte we have to put up with here in Queensland is next level. I suggest saving this headline in a screenshot to remind the Fail just how batsh*t their bloviating sycophancy has become.
Queensland, under the LNP Crisafulli Government, is what Australia would have become if the Queensland LNP's Peter Dutton and David Littleproud had won this year's federal election. Fortunately, Australian voters had more sense! #qldpol #auspol
Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie is more interested in being an Elvis impersonator than taking any meaningful action on climate change. LNP-ruled Queensland is what Australia would have looked like under Peter Dutton & David Littleproud. #qldpol reneweconomy.com.au/parkinson-re...
Queensland's LNP Crisafulli Government has reverted to the anti-renewables mind-set of the Newman Government years. #qldpol #auspol
Qld regresses to the anti-renewables era of the Newman govt. The state now an anchor on Australia's renewables transition through Jarrod Bleijie's latest Act. The consultative bill itself was ushered into law without consultation on its design. #qldpol reneweconomy.com.au/flashback-to...
"The person who had China's Xi Jinping address Australia's Parliament was Tony Abbott, for the record." (PM Anthony Albanese to Sky News) #auspol
PM Albanese fires back at Peter Stefanovic who says he’s had “more meetings Xi Jinping” than with Trump, reminding him Xi Jinping has been “in office for some time” & that the person who “had Xi Jinping address our national parliament here was Tony Abbott, for the record”🔥🤣

"We'll invest in whatever capability Australia needs to defend ourselves" - not some arbitrary figure. (PM Anthony Albanese) #auspol
PM “We’ll invest in whatever capability Australia needs to defend ourselves” For probably the thousandth time, PM responds to Q’s on Trump’s demand for a further increase to our Defence spending, saying exactly the same thing. What is it that the media doesn’t understand?🙄 #Abc
Reciprocal tariffs on Australia by the US should be zero. That's what Australia imposes on US imports under the Free Trade Agreement - zero. #auspol
PM Albanese lashes #AfternoonBriefing host Patricia Karvelas after she fails to mention he was asked about “reciprocal tariffs” with the US when he gave an answer of “zero tariffs” today. PK “We have to be realists.” Albanese “Yeah, & we have to give facts.”🔥 #Abc
The LNP Federal Opposition is reportedly shifting away from the Dutton era anti-immigration rhetoric. #auspol
‘Coalition signals dramatic shift away from anti-immigration rhetoric of Dutton era’ 🙄 Stoking the fires of hate, culture wars, racism & “go home if u don’t like it here” has been part of their strategy forever. Only difference now is it is covert. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Jarrod Bleijie has declared construction of Crisafulli Colosseum & other Olympics venues will exclude CFMEU members. Peter Dutton made the Qld LNP based threat earlier this year but experts say it's likely illegal. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Reflecting on Jarrod Bleijie's attempted slur using Tuvalu. A third of Tuvaluans have applied for Australian residency. The situation isn't a Peter Dutton attempt at humour, either. The country will be uninhabitable within 80yrs. Only 280 visas on offer pa. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

The Liberal Party has had a bit of a go at policy but the problem here is the shadow minister for multicultural affairs Paul Scarr is from the same party as Peter Dutton; the Qld LNP. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Can't WAIT for GPs to be able to diagnose and prescribe for ADHD! It's happening soon in both NSW and the ACT. Victoria should hurry the hell up and do it too! It'll definitely free up psychiatrists for those who actually need it - and hopefully it'll force them to reduce their fees.
Just received an email this morning letting me know my psychiatrist fees have further increased. Initial consult fees are now $1,080 before the rebate and $817 out of pocket. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 This is beyond broken. How can anyone afford this?? #AusPol

"I was more than a conveyancing clerk." Says Cameron Dick, former Palaszczuk-Miles Govt Treasurer, and a former Queensland Attorney-General, about Jarrod Bleijie, current Queensland LNP Deputy Premier. #qldpol #auspol
"Says the former AG from Tuvalu! You got your law degree from Tuvalu!" Jarrod Bleijie yells at Cameron Dick. "I was more than a conveyancing clerk," comes the reply. Both were Qld AGs with the latter also Tuvalu AG 1995-1996; law educated at Uni of Qld & masters at Cambridge. #qldpol

THE Queensland LNP Crisafulli Govt tries to get credit for the established & ongoing upgrades to the 1673 km-long Bruce Highway. #qldpol #auspol
LNP attempts to own the Bruce Hwy upgrades but it's a well established & ongoing program. It's $12.4m allocated this budget not the entire $9b. Frequently set back by cyclones & floods; it's 2 steps forward & 1 back. It's 1,673km of road & was thrown down in places we wouldn't build on now. #qldpol

Mark Kenny:"No one mentions that Israel is already a nuclear power." (ABC "Insiders") #auspol
Mark Kenny nails it “No one mentions the fact that Israel is also a nuclear power, that it’s not even a signatory to the Non-proliferation Treaty. It doesn’t observe the safeguards of the IAEA.” “I mean, that just doesn’t get mentioned.”💥 #ABCInsiders
Another Angus Taylor trainwreck interview - this time on increased defence spending, and on Sky News too, the LNP's propaganda channel of choice. #auspol
💥Angus Taylor smashed in a trainwreck on Sky while refusing to say where money will come from to pay for an increase in Defence spending. Suggests it will be from their Trump-style Public Service cuts but says they won’t confirm it until the “election in close to 3yrs time”🤦♂️

Lord Pocketsquare has been living it up on an overseas jaunt of top sporting stadiums & returned to predictably declare privatisation is the way for Crisafulli's Coliseum & other romensque sized Olympics buildings. He denies he's asked the Feds for an extra $2.5bn. #qldpol youtu.be/guOokiqFV6U
