It's a good step that the LECC will investigate police misconduct and violence at Town Hall during the anti-Herzog protest. Now we need an independent investigation of the political incitement to violence by the NSW Premier and others.

AEC disclosures show more than $138 million in political funding in 2024–25 had no declared source under the current rules.
When dark money & big donors shape our politics, public trust suffers. Australians deserve govts that are not fundraising from industries that profit when policy is weakened.

"The LNP were effectively giving Queensland's coal to Adani for free."
After the LNP abandoned a court case against Adani over unpaid coal royalties, it looks pretty dodgy that the data shows they received over half a million dollars in donations from Adani.

Because I grew up in QLD in the ‘80s, I’m more often surprised when police *don’t* attack demonstrators. So I’ve had that familiar feeling this week of watching people come to a difficult truth: when you see a demo turn ugly, it’s almost always because the cops decided that’s how it was gonna go.
The cop riot
So, first things first, a big congrats to Angus Taylor.

Just $278,872 was spent in Farrer by c-IND @michellemilthorpe.bsky.social – who won the major pop’n centre of Albury 2CP.
A small IND campaign scaling up; retiring sitting LIB; and ON splitting LIB votes would all help narrow the 6.2% margin – potentially adding another c-IND to parliament.

Too many people underestimate how evil Google is and how impactful its evil is. Yeah, the company that struck down its "don't be evil" maxim a while ago, because I guess it felt too constraining.
At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.
Inside the worker-led push to get ICE out of Google:
