If Crisafulli had his way, Queensland would become as Christo-fascist as Alabama.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli refuses to accept the Qld Coroner's Wieambilla inquest recommendation to have mental health assessments for new firearms licenses. It's now left to Qld's health professionals who are forced to report to police their patients assessed of harm. #qldpol

TWO YEARS of inaction & unaccountability for the murder of a highly esteemed peaceful aid worker?!
No charges against the IDF murderer? Not even a name of the IDF operative?!
This is supposed to justify the invitation to a war criminal, & to placate Frankcom’s family, friends & protesters?

Israeli President Isaac Herzog isn’t welcome in Australia. The Greens stand with those peacefully protesting as we demand sanctions on Israel & an end to the two way arms trade. We join our voices with the millions who call for an end to genocide and justice for Palestine.

I went out before today's Herzog protest at Parliament and saw this massive police surveillance tower. This is completely unnecessary, and intimidating, at a peaceful protest. Police need to be protecting protesters, not snooping on them, or attacking them.
