Jacinta Nampijinpa Price charged taxpayers to fly husband to CPAC where she railed against government spending Data on politicians’ spending also shows Labor ministers Don Farrell and Anika Wells used contentious allowances to fly spouses to AFL grand final

Okay so it’s not exactly *news* that Jacinta Price is a grifter and a hypocrite…

The Western media is bending over BACKWARDS as a propaganda machine for this war.

Who demanded this?
The Jewish people who make up approximately 0.1% of the Queensland population?
Or the same lobby group who demand, and get guests banned from writers' festivals and made to order, over the top police brutality?

Qld Labor refuses to support the Crisafulli govt's criminalisation of speech saying the process of the bill was botched. However, once the Qld Governor grants royal assent these two phrases will be illegal with a penalty of up to 2 years imprisonment. Lord Pocketsquare gnashed his teeth. #qldpol

Labor should immediately have committed to overturning it once they’re in government. Have they?

Crisafulli’s ego will probably be so ballooned off the back of this he’ll try for criminalising the β€˜against genocide’ and β€˜Free Palestine’ next πŸ™„

Trump threatens Spain, says no one can stop them flying into Spanish military bases and using them.
A lesson for those who think AUKUS military bases in Australia does not affect our sovereignty.
AUKUS means we are even more subjugated to the US/UK military industrial complex.

Trump just threatened to cut off all trade with Spain β€” because Spain refused to let the U.S. use their bases to bomb Iran.

Let that sink in.

A NATO ally said β€œwe didn’t authorize this illegal war” β€” and Trump’s response was to declare economic war on them too.

Palestinian DJ’s visa not approved ahead of two major music festivals Sama’ Abdulhadi was due to play at huge events in two states this weekend, expected to attract about 120,000 revellers.

What a coincidence that it was the Palestinian artist who wasn't granted a visa in time...

Nothing says β€œputting everyday Australians first” quite like Pauline Hanson popping by to check in on battlers like Gina.

Penny Wong: "I don't think we anticipated, or any country might have anticipated that Iran would respond in the way that it has."

I'd be too embarrassed to show my face in public after such an utterance.

What a disappointing embarrassment our leadership continues to be.

A US nuclear submarine just sank an Iranian frigate off the coast of Sri Lanka, leaving the survivors to drown. I asked Wong if any of the 50 or more Australians stationed on US nuclear submarines in the Pacific were on this submarine.

The Government refused to answer.

Getting serious about stopping women being murdered by current and former partners,
has to include police getting serious about their role as enablers. #qldpol

As for the other lie I saw being put about to muddy the waters to the US/Israel’s advantage:

β€œIt is highly unlikely that the (US/Israel) attacks on the IRGC sites could have resulted in the injury or death of girls within the school.”

If that’s the case, one might well ask why it was considered defamatory to associate Deeming with neo-Nazi views…

It might’ve been NSW, but I think it was VIC.

Wasn’t it also in Victoria that a judge acquitted a neo-Nazi of the charge of causing offence because, the magistrate said, it was not clear that the views he publicly espoused would cause offence to the ordinary person.

Would you trust the Albanese govt to try again, though? After they revealed themselves like that, I certainly wouldn’t.

Otherwise we will see (and have seen) creeping normalisation of the idea- and subsequently the fact- of those infringements.

I think we all need to hold the reins a whole lot tighter than that. Politicians, like the general public, should be free to hold their own religious beliefs but the minute those beliefs, no matter how sincerely held, start to infringe on the rights or safety of others, zero tolerance.
