$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement.

If interested in the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's tardiness in responding to dimethoate residue in blueberries, recall that Barnaby kludged that organisation by abruptly shifting it to Armidale in 2017. Staff were reportedly working in McDonalds, for internet access.

Only 28 % of agreed amount of aid in the ceasefire agreement is being allowed into Gaza by Israel.
And the agreed 600 trucks per day themselves wouldn't have been enough.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Reagan started this mess. As we know, his "Trickle Down" economics is a major player in the erosion of the middle class and the extreme wealth accumulated by the top 1%, as we know it today. He should have labeled it "Toxic Capitalism," because that's exactly what it is.

More than 40 per cent of children in single-parent households live in poverty in Australia. Enforcing child support payments would go a long way towards fixing the problem.

EXPOSED: ICE agents grabbed a father by the neck in Fitchburg, Massachusetts — sending him into a violent seizure while his arms locked around his toddler.
“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of his hands!”
Agents then handcuffed him before putting him in an ambulance.

Just a friendly reminder that with the Nats and the majority of the Libs opposing net zero, they are SUPPORTING pollution, climate change, and an increase in severe weather events that destroy the lives of so many in our country.
Those just one reason out of many why we should NEVER elect the LNP.
