As someone who has lived my entire life in NSW, what the hell is it with NSW politics and NSW Premiers? Do they put something in the drinking water at NSW Parliament to make them incompetent, corrupt, or tyrannical? 🤔 #auspol #nswpol #corruption #HateSpeechLaws #ProtestLaws #CivilLiberties

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.
There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

Inflation pressures remain persistent.
In 2024–25, the Govt handed out $12.5 billion in fossil fuel subsidies. It’s time to rethink priorities.
We need smarter, climate-aligned budgeting that delivers real cost-of-living relief and invests in Australia’s future.

One of the biggest blows against the illusion of Western democracy in recent years has been that there is now more popular support for Palestine than ever, the tide has turned; and yet it doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

NSW Minns Govt has intro'd laws cracking down on "hate-speech" in NSW schools. It applies to all govt, independent & Catholic schools. I wonder if it applies to #sexism & #misogyny in private boys schools. Or gay-hate speech in religious schools. Or are they exempt? #auspol #nswpol #education

That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.
