Andrew Gee fires up slamming Ben Small for “providing a protection racket” for Plymouth Brethren Gareth Hales after the church leader can’t even answer on if he has any concern about two of his members engaging Linda Reynolds to access a secure AEC database. 🔥 Just disgraceful.

Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie is presenting as warm & fuzzy his industrial relations changes, saying he's just bringing the state into line with the federal minister. That's untrue because his bill contains open-ended clauses to prevent the right to strike. #qldpol
