Anthropic is building the Dalby data centre in Queensland, Australia. It's net loss in the first half of 2026 widened sharply to $US80.7b. Revenue in this period stood at about $US16.3b. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
CNN reporting on Anthropic's $32b data centre for Dalby, Queensland in Australia. A bit light on the involvement of the state government of David Crisafulli & Jarrod Bleijie but overall gives good coverage of the issues concerning residents. #qldpol edition.cnn.com/2026/10/26/a...
Official petition to the Queensland Parliament number 4685-26: Stop the Proposed Western Downs Digital Park Data Centre Development. This is the Anthropic one for Dalby. Open to Queenslanders until 1/03/2027. 23,729 signatures so far. #qldpol www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-the-...
Punishment of critics of government policy is a shift towards totalitarianism. The Crisafulli government retaliates against Queensland's Youth Advocacy Centre with a $3M funding cut. It provides counselling, medical assessments, housing, food & clothing. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Victoria’s debt gets a lot of bad press. But the state has made progress in repairing its finances, and in some other states, debt is now growing much faster.
Amanda Dow is the Victorian Liberal Party candidate for Yan Yean. Her husband was allegedly assaulted by another man over a signage dispute. Police arrested a 59yo man & charged with reckless cause injury, criminal damage & unlawful assault. #springst www.sbs.com.au/news/article...
Areto being trialled by Australian MPs & senators to screen social media comments. Out of 460,000 analysed between July & October about 190,000 were gender-based abuse, racism & transphobia. There were 2,497 threats & 2,487 using violent language. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Getting LNP’d. Queensland's Youth Advocacy Centre has been critical of both Labor & LNP governments. It spoke recently against Premier David Crisafulli's youth crime slogan legislation. Now its $3M in funding has been cut. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Tokenism. Let’s call it what it is, violence against women. Yes, I’m aware of violence from women against women and gay men against gay men. But let’s not get distracted by that. Violence never solves things. #QldPol
"We should all be concerned about domestic violence." Queensland Minister Amanda Stoker's first full day on the job but no time to address the latest report highlighting the alarming number of DV deaths involving young people. #qldpol
A counter terrorism police investigation led to Deborah Lee Jackson appearing in Wynnum Magistrates Court in Queensland today on one count of common assault with a serious vilification or hate crime aggravation. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

We condemn the political threats made by Opposition Leader Jess Wilson on Sunday and reject her misleading connection between protest of Israel’s genocide and the horrific Bondi attack. Protesting a livestreamed genocide is not antisemitic. Our release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10/jewi...

Mark Nicholson is the co-founder of Stepmates Studios which creates political content for One Nation. He is also running for a seat in Victoria's upper house for the party. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
Professor Anne Twomey made this earlier this year after the Queensland government enacted speech criminalisation but before the application to the High Court was made. Potential problem is the restriction of free flow of political communication. #springst youtu.be/x9LsUDdgIUM
Victorian Opposition Leader Jess Wilson wants to follow Queensland Premier David Crisafulli into speech criminalisation but she may end up following him into the High Court. (ABC, there's no "Liberal government" in Qld. It's the Liberal National Party). #springst www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
Victoria's Emergency Services Minister Paul Edbrooke found a bullet on his car on Saturday. The bullet was etched with the word "RAT" and Mr Edbrooke's old firefighter number. #springst www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
What Queensland Premier David Crisafulli actually said is he won't have to form a coalition with Pauline Hanson because Queenslanders will return his government. That doesn't rule out preference order on HTV cards. He's also a great reneger. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
Victorian Opposition Leader Jess Wilson is vowing to follow Queensland Premier David Crisafulli on speech criminalisation. He's where we are with that. #springst www.crikey.com.au/2026/07/30/i...
Medicare bulk billing rates up from 56% to 63%. It was 70% in 2019. RACGP report shows government financial incentives for doctors and practices have helped over the course of the year. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
From 2020. Michael McCormack has defended the government’s decision to spend $30m on a parcel of land near the Western Sydney airport worth just $3m, arguing in time it will seem a “bargain”. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Alan Tudge has resurfaced. Wrote a report for the Menzies Research Centre on grandparents receiving government payments for childcare. #auspol youtu.be/n3B3hvnr4TE
David Crisafulli's youth crime slogan hasn't solved the problem in Queensland yet; he's had 3 legislative goes at it. He repeatedly says in interviews there's a long way to go. He's got another bail based one this week. Next it'll be a mandatory sentencing based slogan. #qldpol
David Crisafulli at the 2yr mark, the spectre of Campbell Newman & the threat from Pauline Hanson. Queensland premier says he won't need to do a coalition with One Nation or any deals in 2028 because Queenslanders recognise his unified, centre-right government. #qldpol

He’s can go further right than PHON. Anti-Unions, anti-free speech, abortion illegal, vilify homelessness, eradicate equal opportunity, data centres everywhere and indigenous voices nowhere. He can do that with no checks. Now. He’d arrest more kids but there’s too many bodies piling up #qldpol

Direct correlation between threats & inflammatory political discourse. AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett said police regularly saw harassment of MPs increase following periods of heated debate. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
Latest on the Fitzys Loganholme shooting. Early stages of the Queensland police investigation. It's a short drive from me. Been there many times. As anyone who's had these crimes happen in their community will know, it does come as a shock. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

In an underfunded foster care system?
"We are not going to the next election without kids being adopted out of residential care." Wedged between arch-conservatives, Queensland Premier David Crisafulli made the pledge for new minister, Amanda Stoker. He also added more kids out of residential into foster care. #qldpol
