Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated.

Aside from returning Queensland to the Johmander, Qld Attorney-General Deb Frecklington has been copping it at home in Nanango over her 2017 Cooyar Bridge pledge. Now she's in government & it's a promise that doesn't count, apparently. Next it'll be Labor's fault. #qldpol

A reminder of the extremely poor quality media we have to endure in Queensland. 🙄😐 Here's Murdoch's pro-LNP "Courier Mail" from late April this year telling Queenslanders that Dutton would easily win the state in the May federal election. He didn't! He lost seats, including his own!
