When knives kill they are banned. When guns kill they are banned. When the government perceives social media is harmful it is banned
When science proves beyond doubt that fossil fuels are destroying the planet and every human being on it, the government subsidises the industry

Immigration isn't the fucking problem. The decades of corrupt career #auspol politicians putting themselves, billionaires, multinational corps before Aussies is. No sovereign unity, no infrastructure, no planning for the future apart from individual/ party re election.

Point 1: Obviously it is evil to massacre civilians for being Jewish.

Just a reminder the media org that has been trumpeting that it cares about kids and their futures and wants social media banned is the same that worldwide has been running climate change disinformation and lies, ensuring the kids will live in a worse world
The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.
Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?
That is more than 0.5C ago.

The next time you see draconian David Crisafulli spruiking a local Queensland pie shop on social media, think that he's also responsible for monitoring 10 year olds with ankle bracelets. It's the only place in the western world where such steps are taken.

The legislation removes the requirement for either the child, or their parent or guardian, to consent to wearing the device.
