"I don’t need international law," the apex opportunist Donald Trump declared but the words of Simon Crean from 20 years ago still echo across Australia. #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
A woman who has questionable scruples did something dodgy for money?
Buyer beware…
One of Pauline Hanson's questionable Gold Coast property deals from 2017. #auspol

Disoriented, outgunned & bewildered. SA Liberals fear for existence at the 21 March state poll. Primary vote is about 14%, Ashton Hurn is the 4th leader in 4yrs & Alex Antic is eager to rule with his religious right. Perhaps 5 of the 47 seats. #savotes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Lucky to recognise 3 of them. This was such a good video by Professor Twomey
In addition to the criminalisation of speech in Qld, the Crisafulli government added more hate symbols to the existing Nazi one. There's problems here as Professor Anne Twomey points out. See if you can recognise them all at first glance. #qldpol www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/html/as...
Praise for Queenslanders from Professor Anne Twomey for pushing back on the Crisafulli government's criminalisation of speech. She sees uncertainty with the way they've banned hate symbols. Freedom of political expression now a High Court matter. #qldpol youtu.be/x9LsUDdgIUM
No crisis of housing for property mogul Pauline Hanson. While Australians were battling covid-19 she was working on her portfolio. Now her 2 blocks of land Yeppoon in Qld are about to deliver payday on top of her decades worth of property investments. #auspol

How-to-vote cards for the SA election have been finalised. Liberals recommend ONP above Labor in the ordering of preferences. ONP appear agnostic as to whom they recommend.
Remember, it's voters that make the preferential choice on the ballot. #savotes www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
The only way Bleijie will listen is if the Butchulla people become LNP donors. It's worked for Gina, it's worked for Adani, it's worked for the Zionists and with the Olympics coming up they have changed the rules to allow property developers to donate so they can award them contracts.
I noticed Cory Bernardi is owning his 2013 bestiality comments ahead of the SA election.
In 2015 at the NPC with Penny Wong he denied he linked same-sex marriage with bestiality. #saparli www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
The hot seat of Farrer.
"Climate change is destroying rural and regional areas," Pauline Hanson has declared as ONP selected David Farley as candidate for the federal by-election of Farrer in NSW. Polling day is 9 May. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
Dingoes are alpha predators, part of our ecosystem and have been here for thousands of years. You can have tourism which respects their natural habitat but this scenario looks like a simple case of bad management.
It’s money over safety and their only response if to kill the dingoes. Cap visitor numbers and leave the dogs alone.
You'd have to put that argument to the author.
The wongari killing. More than 500,000 people visit K'gari each year. The Butchulla people have been calling for caps for many years, including during breeding season when wongari dingoes are more aggressive. Jarrod Bleijie refuses to listen. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
I didn't write it. You'd have to put that to the author.
My choices for state election
Fraser Ellis booted from Libs charged with corruption
Tania Stock former Deputy Mayor of the council that set 10% of budget aside for councillor expenses & catered meetings
Esther Short lives & works in Adelaide

Need miracles not wishes 🤣😂🤣😂
Adding this screenshot just to show how much I know about the Green's candidate (her website) & why I will not be surprised if Family first or One Nation end up with large amount of votes here. Personally not one there I want to vote for & being farming area I cannot see farmers supporting Greens
‘A day later, the LNP smashed open a "break glass in case of emergency" box of distractions.’ This is a Government that actively works to hoodwink voters. It’s succeeding. #Qldpol
Jarrod Bleijie has ranted before in parliament but this week was a pulpit thumping, maniacal display in which he accused everyone of being antisemites. Labor initially agreed on the hate speech bill but by voting time, any goodwill was eroded. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
This is true. The only place to argue it out would be an international court of law. That would take many years.
Thanks David.
I just posted this along the same lines.
Sensationalist and uninformed commentary is trumping fact.

The sinking of the IRIS Dena by the US is probably going to turn out to be legal. With the ship in international waters & under the law of naval warfare it was a lawful target. Difficult for subs to surface to render assistance so they can facilitate it.

The unpredictable, egotistical & muscular policy of a sui generis president surrounded by a mixture of sycophants & clowns. With AUKUS active & the sinking of the IRIS Dena, Australia is enmeshed with US military action. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
So many words, and when analysed carefully it's just utter dribble.
The Age front page for 7 March 2023 entitled Red Alert. Australia 'must prepare' for threat of China war. The series of articles predicted that within 3 years of publishing Australia and China would be at war.
The Sydney Morning Herald front page for 7 March 2023 entitled Red Alert: War risk exposed. The series of articles predicted that within 3 years of publishing Australia and China would be at war.
If it had been NewsCorp it probably would have been dismissed with a national eye roll & forgotten. It was the long respected SMH & The Age, stables of Australian journalism for generations. Thankfully Nine's dire prediction of Australia & China at war on 7 March 2023 never came true. #auspol
Donald Trump's support in Spain is 15.7%. The Spanish people were infuriated by the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Seeing their fellow Spanish speakers mistreated in America is doing no favours for the Trump regime. PM Pedro Sánchez has the support to say no. 🇪🇸

"I was there as mayor of the city; that's a gift to the city, not to me". Tom Tate did it for you, Gold Coast. He drank expensive wine with Donald Trump & consumed tomahawks. Still can't see a problem with twice-bankrupted developer David Young on Trump Tower. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
