We Need Mandatory Masking in Healthcare, and We Need it Now.

"Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk."

Social media makes politics more accessible but also spreads misinformation—especially during elections. Democracy needs truth. That’s why I introduced my Stop the Lies bill to ban false political ads. Yet in 2025, we still have no safeguards. Next week, I’ll call on the government to act.

Scott Reef’s a rare, unspoiled gem home to endangered sea snakes, turtles & manta rays.

But Woodside’s mammoth Browse gas project threatens it all.

The Environment Minister must act to protect this natural wonder, not to allow further damage to our climate.

Shame, QLD government. Shame. How can you defend the silencing of truth-telling? You cannot, but indigenous voices will be heard in spite of your actions.

Six years to create, two days to dismantle. What happens now the Indigenous truth-telling inquiry has been scrapped?
