Following on from the discussion about the Muswellbrook coalmine rejection, in Queensland there was already legislation before the parliament. Oscar Davison steps through how it restricts who can object, on what basis & to ignore the environment. #qldpol www.instagram.com/reel/DeRQFdq...
A rough increase of about 30 something from previous recent years This could be one of those statistical blips, but I suspect policy is causative I recall some robust research describing racism as producing about the same rate of infant death (2.5 times white baby deaths), in the USA
From what I can see about 23% of these kids are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders, which is over 2.5 times the rate for non indigenous kids
UAE prosecutors allege Flydubai pilot Hammam al-Hammami was inspired by the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 2001. He began reading Takfiri ideology online while studying at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He never completed his engineering qualification.

It's been over 2 weeks since the government dumped hundreds of reports on a Friday. Amongst them the news 91 children known to Queensland child protection died last financial year. Silence from Premier David Crisafulli & zero follow up. #qldpol
Trump: "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November ... "
Governments have enormous resources & powers. They like to tell us things are a struggle.
With his latest youth crime slogan, Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is again implying that every child that breaks the law will be incarcerated. He's also dismissed the warnings about children being kept in the current facilities from Queensland's Inspector of Detention Services. #qldpol
25 years since Queensland's blue card system was introduced with now more than 1.4 million people as recipients, up by about 100,000 people on last year. Refusals have risen from 3,712 to 6,403 but that doesn't mean a more protective system. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
Investors want a return on investment, not a return to jail — particularly given the company director’s history. The market rewards execution, transparency and credibility, not just AI hype.
Firmus not firm on details. ASX float is off.
A lot of these datacentre firms are there to make money on the stock market from the AI rush. Many of the proposed sites may never eventuate & these companies may eventually fold up into others. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli's youth crime slogan was legislated but did not cover the offences the teens enacted on the Dicky Beach store owner in August 2025. Sentencing has been taken to the Appeal Court but the prosecution initially sought 12 months detention. #qldpol
There is currently legislation before the Queensland parliament that is designed to prevent such challenges as the MACH Energy Muswellbrook coalmine expansion in NSW. #qldpol
In the MACH Energy Muswellbrook coalmine High Court case, NSW needed to consider the Scope 3 emissions from the coal exported. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli responds with the state having the best laws, highest environmental standards & vows stronger legislation. #qldpol
The USA is so broken it will never be repaired. And a reminder, Richard Marles believes we need to have even stronger defence ties with the USA because of our "shared values"
"Budget neutral" a meaningless term. Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie fails to confirm if Coalition's migration plan costed by Parliamentary Budget Office.
A lesson from the Queensland 2024 election is it's important to scrutinise all policies. #auspol au.finance.yahoo.com/news/senior-...
"We have the best laws in the country & we have the highest environmental standards & we are the most pro-mining government in the nation." Queensland Premier David Crisafulli obviously hasn't read the Muswellbrook coalmine High Court judgement. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
The Crisafulli Queensland government shifts further away from the court system with proposed laws expanding the power of police responding to domestic & family violence. They didn't listen when on-the-spot protection directives were first initiated. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...
OpenAI’s legal & security teams used AI to generate parts of the wording of the Medicare email warning that was sent to the government's Services Australia inbox. Humans reviewed the final email before sending the message. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
