As Murray Watt’s home state of QLD wakes from vicious storms that wrought significant damage, he’s working with @albomp.bsky.social to ram through business-friendly faux environmental reforms.
Several decades ago CSIRO (which Labor is gutting) predicted these effects of climate change.

It’s been over 2 years since the late Peta Murphy’s inquiry into online gambling advertising & how it affects problem gamblers. Since then, Australians have lost $60 billion to gambling.

Australians need a government with the will and the courage to protect them from gambling harms.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

I've been in IT/dev over 35yrs & worked on some of the largest websites in Australia as well as similar for the US. I seriously have NFI how a redesign could cost $96.5m & I'd be checking to see if anyone's stashed a few $m in an offshore act somewhere.
