Latest energy figures are out for 2024-25 - once again 83% of Australia's gas is exported or used to convert gas to PNG exports. There is no gas shortage. We do not need more gas. We need to #TAXtheGAS
Charts showing in 2024-25 4,862PJ of gas was exported or used in LNG plants, while only 1,016PJ was use by the domestic economy of mining, manufacturing, residential and gas power plants.

This is a national disaster! Crisafuli should be held responsible. He should be sacked and an immediate investigation is required into why the State has failed the safety of so many children. It’s a national disgrace. #QLDPol #AusPol

One Nation funded a $56k shed for James Ashby's Yeppoon property in which he resides. An unknown sum is being "invested" into Small Batch Brewing to establish a micro distillery. It's owned by Ashby, Pauline Hanson & former ONP treasurer Alex Jones. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Why does ABC News continue to platform the misleadingly named 'Business Council of Australia' without mentioning the exteme unrepresentativeness of its membership? 1. Mostly very large enterprises, including government enterprises. 2. Few in number. 3. Many not Australian.

The Crisafulli govt blames Labor for the Queensland S&P Global credit rating downgrade from AA+ to AA. However, the agency wrote it's the "infrastructure spending, resulting in debt being structurally higher than in the past". Rating hadn't changed since 2009. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Gas giant Woodside announced its half-yearly profits today, and the results are incredible but not surprising. While Australia suffers through an “energy crisis” the gas companies are reporting record profits, well in contrast to wage growth and inflation. #auspol

7. Keep notebooks - real notebooks - and never shy away from jotting down the weirdest thought that pops into your head. Prioritise physical notes over digital ones, always. Take your notebook everywhere and treat it like a valuable that is more important than your wallet or phone, because it is.

This is the final vote on the ASIO Bill. Labor and the Coalition in lock step. We WILL remember this at the next election. The Greens opposed these laws in EVERY vote. Barnaby Joyce voted for this but in the Senate One Nation was dragged to vote against it due to significant community pressure.

If someone steals $100 from the till, police get called. If an employer steals thousands in wages, we call it 'underpayment' and discuss compliance. Funny little language, English.

Granting absolute impunity to Israeli political and military leaders responsible for the agony inflicted upon the Palestinians in Gaza and occupied West Bank, has turned international jurisprudence into a grotesque farce, and reduced the sacred concept of universal justice into a depressed illusion.

Victoria Park theft map. Note that this does not show the takeover of the Spring Hill section of Victoria Park for the 'aquatic centre', presumably an outright lie to hide some of the impact.
Victoria Park takeover map, 'Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority'. Inexplicably it does not show takeover of the Spring Hill section of Victoria Park, to be actioned next week.
