The apathy of the Crisafulli government is killing Queensland.
This is from August. Australians, can you imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if your state or territory health minister had to be chased down on the streets like this to comment on public health policy? #qldpol

Queensland Health Minister Tim Nicholls tracked down on Brisbane streets after Premier David Crisafulli & Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie appeared to undermine his public health vaccination program. There's no guarantee as yet that the 2025 program will return in 2026.

Watched ABC telecast of #Bondi gathering last night. Hugely disappointing. It was not a reflection of lives tragically lost. It was a #Zionist rally that ignored 99% of Australians. #Netanyahu will be delighted.

Sussan Ley completely lacks what it takes to be Prime Minister or even lead a political party.
What a grubby nothing of a person she has revealed herself to be this past week.
I suspect many Jewish Australians would be disgusted by how grossly she has used this tragedy.

Yes, all English speaking countries suffer from bad journalism, but Australia does seem to have the lead for the most ignorant and stupid.
It comes from being so often rewarded for being so easily played by political forces.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.
