Ok, so first thing to do before rushing off to the US president is to ask Queensland's Indigenous people if it's ok to dig up their land. Explain why the world needs critical minerals & how payments from that mining can help them. If they say no, that's the end of it. #qldpol

Significant submission from the Catholic church in Queensland against the "criminalisation of speech". I'm not of the faith but I have studied the papacy. Little happens without the Pope's knowledge. I'm a pagan to the Church but Pope Leo XIV is saying we can have a convo. #qldpol

Queensland Police have been exceptional in their management of rallies since the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Not even during the Newman government did we see anything like Sydney 2026.
